    GenCon is so huge. I spent parts of all 4 days wandering the Great Hall, looking at games, playing demos, etc, and still, I think there were booths I never saw. I'm so glad I took an extra day off of work to recover!

    That's the crazy thing about GenCon is it's so huge and yet you always walk away regretting you couldn't do everything you wanted to do. I wasn't able to make it this year but am starting to save so next year I will make it. Glad you had a good time. Something about the positive vibe from a Con crowd.

    OMG I didn't even know there was a huge set up in Lucas Oil Stadium 🤣 So much to do!
    I love listening to you talk about it. I had SUCH a great time. Definitely experiencing the post-con saddies right now. This video helps remind me of all the great stuff!

  • @robertfrizzell1970
    @robertfrizzell1970 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I bought some of the hex paper from that booth specifically to draw a map using your guides! it would be an absolute pleasure to play an rpg with you at Gen Con!

    I want to go to GenCon some day it is not too far but I am always in Japan at that time.
    Looking forward to your “unboxing” videos of all your swag

    This con I have been thinking of attending one day. Maybe I will. So many amazing games look like were there and would have so grabbed up one of the map papers to draw out dungeons/maps on for things.
    Also happy I found your channel man. I found my love for making maps cause of you. Been working on making a redo of a map of a current D&D homebrew campaign I have been in cause the map is hard to read that one of my friends made. Watched many videos to get tips and including your channel, that I first found, to get ideas of making the map. I am having tons of fun making my first map on grid paper I have in a graph composition book I had lying around. Thanks for being my inspiration to make maps.

  • @wyoddestro
    @wyoddestro 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Amazing energy. I got recommended your videos because of Gen Con I assume. I watched the whole thing you are so energic and your enthusiasm was contagious! Definitely hope to be able to attend it in the coming years!

    What a great review JP! I appreciate your passion for the community, and your gratitude, and hope to make it to the show sometime in the future!

  • @sethusk
    @sethusk 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    That's awesome! I'm more of a board gamer than a role player myself, but I still would love to go out and say hello next year.

    • @JPCoovert
      @JPCoovert  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There are SOOOO many board games. More of those than anything!

  • @EyeMCreative
    @EyeMCreative 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I went on Saturday and it was awesome. I definitely want to go all 4 days next year, there's just so much to do and not enough time. I got to play some mini games like the Kill It Keep It, which was awesome, but I definitely want to play a 4 hour 5e session next year, but I also want more time to shop around. It's hard to fit it all in.

  • @trollsmyth

    Dammit, how did I miss Map Crow’s booth?!? Glad you had such a great time. Hope to see you in person next year.

    I went last year but felt pressed for time for this year's. I SO regret not going....

  • @markbehm
    @markbehm 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    DIdn't know you were going. Stop by my booth at the art show and say hi next year! And let us all know if you are setting up some one shots of your TunnelGoons mods!

  • @seanfontaine924
    @seanfontaine924 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Dragonbane is such a great PRG! Glad to see more people getting interested in it.

    I always say Gen-Con is too short for gaming, since as you noticed there is SO MUCH going on that it seems like you have missed so many things no matter what you try to do

  • @misterwire1331

    Just ordered a copy of Teenage Mutant Dirtbags because of you. Art is cute and the name is incredible.

    @aklevah1 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Next year you could consider running a seminar or workshop if you wanted, besides trying to play games. Piece of advice if you want to register for games, you need to hop on the day event registration opens to get the best chance at the games you want.

    • @JPCoovert
      @JPCoovert  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Registration is so intense! And so far in advance. I feel like I do a seminar/workshop every week here on TH-cam, but it could still be fun to do something in person!

    • @JPCoovert

    I regret not interrupting you and map Crow talking to say hi when you were at the Cloud Curio booth!

    • @AndrewMauney
      @AndrewMauney 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      And if you want to play a lot of games, come to Origins!

    @johncodmore 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thanks for you take on GenCon this year. Shame Origins and GenCon are so close, I'd go to the former and have been to the latter, but the big exhibitors seem to have reined in their marketing budgets and plumped for GenCon.

    • @JPCoovert
      @JPCoovert  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Very true!

  • @solaries3

      Probably not this year but definitely in the future!

      Yep!

    The fact they charge so.mucha and have additional taxes added because it is "downtown" makes me so angry. It was hot?. What a crooked city. Usually the convention is closer to the mall. And has great air and cooling. Glad I didnt go. My city is stealing from these creators. And there are not too many things to do anymore. Not to mention the difference in politics of the majority here. It should have been in a better location. The price alone isnt worth it anymore.
