Editing Gen Con (section)

== About ==
Gen Con works a bit differently than most conventions, as most of its events revolve around specific times and games that require a list of players. As with most, you purchase a badge to actually get access to the con (usually around $90), then spend the next few months browsing their fuck-off huge catalog of events - mostly board games, [[Magic:_The_Gathering|Magic]] tournaments, and actual pen and paper games sometimes also tournaments. You can either sign up on the website for your choice event, which nets you a guaranteed seat at the table (provided you show up on time), or purchase generic tickets for about $4 a pop that work for almost every event, ''but'' are provisional - you only get in if there's room. If there's 10 seats and all 10 are filled, tough shit.

Most of the weekend is usually spent taking pictures, wasting money in the giant dealer room and playing games you've never heard about. And getting drunk.
