twice, 1975 & 76 Lake Geneva Wisc.
We left upstate NY in a Dodge Coronet Wagon & came back in a VW Bus in 1975, that was a *trip*

once 1978 I like Orgins better than Gen Con

[Vargouille]

Several times, starting last millennium. Always with some (often tabletop) game company or another, showing off a product. Origins as well!

It's been a few years since my last one, though.

My last Origins was in Baltimore in 1987 if I recall correctly. It might have been in '86 though. I've still got the program somewhere...

I was an official Stormbringer GM for Chaosium at that convention that year. It was a lot of fun!

I went several times in the 80s when the "Gen" part actually meant something because it was in Lake Geneva.

I remembering getting an early copy of the Thieve's world RPG in a 3 ring notebook (my first gencon 1981) that I won in a drawing. The auction was really great with some very rare items and I don't think a single item sold for more than $10.

And lots of role playing. There was some boardgaming, but it was mostly rpg scenarios including playing unreleased products which was fun.

I liked Stormbringer a lot and Ringworld as well our gm combined them for a bit the Kizin weret sure what to do about magic

Never been to Gen Con, but been going to PAX Prime since it was just PAX.

[dunklezhan]

lol no. But I'm in the UK.

[Seikojin]

I live in Wa, so for me it is Norwescon. Been to a few in the past. Always had fun helping run booths for smithies, artists, hosts. Loved the panels for all things creative. The outfits people come up with can be epic (both fail and win).

[GoldyGopher]

I got dragged kicking and screaming a few times to Gen Con, back when the Gen was more appropriate than it is today.

Lots of fun memories.

[DougGlyndwyr]

Nope. Only pop con I've been to was ComicCon San Diego 2003-2010.

[cdbd3rd]

I'd say a few of us have been once or twice over the years...

(Peruse the pix. You'll find many gems hidden about. Pre-Tolero Merlask & pre-Cordo Mockduck, etc. And many other folks who have faded from the scene...)

Not in several years. I think my first was '98?
Then I went fairly regularly for several years after, and saw the transition from Milwaukee to Indianapolis. Last year I went was probably 2006 or so. Since moving to Phoenix, it's much, much farther away. That and I'm just not that into gaming as much as I was.

I havent been impressed with our con or pnp options in phoenix (although the group that plays at the George and dragon is ok) and hadnt found any other DDO players other than you

Nice.

Similar here, but Judging Trading Card Games, so different room.

But the way, some of their rooms are bigger than a city block.

Alas, no

[Uska]

Not this year but I am hoping to make Carnage this year and Gary con next year
