Arguably THE biggest weekend on the gaming calendar, with possibly Essen matching it, happens around the beginning of August in Indianapolis. It's GENCON and it just keeps getting bigger and bigger! We didn't manage to make it this year but plots are afoot to make 2016 a reality, so we've hunted down some wrap-ups and sneak peeks for you.
From what I've read online and seen on Twitter etc, gaming has a future and the future is MASSIVE!

In other GenCon news, apparently the guys that GW sent over to work their booth didn't have the right visas to get in and work....so were subsequently not granted entry to the USA....awkward much?
So....would you like to help us get to GenCon 2016? Watch this space!!
