Sword & Sorcery: "An earthier sort of fantasy" discussion

I'm finally attending Indianapolis this year for Gencon this August (my first time there). Will catch part of the Writer's Symposium, do some game testing, and salivate in the exhibitor/vendor show (lots of board games to check out).

Anyone else going?

I highly recommend True Dungeon if they are running it this year. One of my best experiences at GenCon SoCal some years back.

Wish I could make it this year. Have fun, man.

I was going to ask what True Dungeon was, then I remember I'm on the internet...So, I assume True Dungeon is this: http://www.truedungeon.com/ If so, that does sound cool! And that's something they've done at different cons?

Yep! That is the one. Nothing like playing through an actual D&D module in real-life :D I don't know how long off the top of my head they've been doing this, but they have become a staple of GenCon and I think they even do a few other Cons as well. A cross between LARP(Live Action Role Playing) and Puzzle Solving/Shuffle Board.

Well my first GenCon was awesome.
The Writer's Symposium was a fine edition to the gaming venues.

Was able to listen to and meet Howard Andrew Jones, and even had him sign several books including Black Gate 15 - Spring 2011.



Also got to meet in person a fellow contributor to Heroika 1: Dragon Eaters and Pirates in Hell, Jack William Finley.
