This Just In… From Gen Con 2011! Bonus Wrap-Up
There was so much to talk about after Gen Con that hosts Rich Rogers and Daniel M. Perez got together with 2011 Season Patron Dan Repperger of Fear The Boot to do a bonus wrap-up episode.
We talk about our personal experiences at the convention, what we did and didn’t do; we talk about our observations about Gen Con, the trends we observed, the demographic shifts and how this stands as a snapshot of the state of hobby gaming; and we do a live post-mortem of the entire season of TJIGenCon, from the pre-production steps months before the con, to the crowdfunding to the actual convention coverage, picking apart what worked, what didn’t, where we dropped the ball and what we learned for future seasons. We conclude by thanking each and every one of the backers of our IndieGoGo crowdfunding campaign.
Thank you all so much for all your support this year, and we hope to see you next year at This. Just In… From GEN CON!
Backer Rewards Mailings to Start
I will start shipping backer rewards this week. Most are regular-sized envelopes containing the sticker and the Guestbook limited edition character, alongside a few T-shirts for those who were not/did not pick up at Gen Con.
Once all mailings are sent I will post an update here so you are aware and can keep an eye on your mailbox.
(Apologies are in order for the delay. After arriving from Gen Con, I traveled to New York, had the start of the semester at the university [I work at the university bookstore, so you can imagine the chaos there], and then traveled to Orlando, where I got food poisoning. I’m hoping things will normalize now.)
