    I just would really like this video to start by saying how Gary Gygax in 1968 1st Established Gen Con as the "Lake Geneva Wargames Convention" he later co-created Dungeons & Dragons, I had a personal reply from him back in 1985 after I told him how he had provided a young 14 year old boy a couple of years of amazing fun........His reply was amazing and personal and I just want his name remembered as the father of Role Playing Gaming and cant believe he is not mentioned because we need to keep his torch lit :)

    Where does one have to go to find out what _city_ this event is in? I could find no mention of that kinda-crucial detail on the web-site or in this video.

    Has Gen Con beat Essen Game Fair as the largest gaming convention in the world? I could only find articles that said Gen Con was the second largest. I was just curious. :)

      Essen only releases "turn style" attendance and not ticket sales numbers, so their numbers are highly inaccurate. With turnstyle attendance, if you attend all 4 days at Essen and leave the halls for food twice each day and then re-enter, they would count you 12 times.

    Gen Con! Where after canceling in 2020 the organization will use your 'lifetime credits' without your consent or permission. Mine were supposed to be held until I could go in person in 2022. Instead, they were applied to the online con last year automatically. $125 gone for nothing. They are really doing great these past years with their reputation.

    The one thing that I don't understand about Gen Con is the 'badge' system. Every other major convention on this planet doesn't require everyone to pre-register/purchase, and will let people buy a ticket/admission at the door and walk in. My friends and I were going to visit Gen Con a few years back (epic road trip from Canada) to attend, until we found out about the 'badge' system. Very disappointing.

      But you CAn buy at the the con. You just have to walk to the registration line. Gencon is so massive that having your badge mailed to you in a blessing.

    The biggest negative impact COVID-19 will have on my life is when Gen-Con is inevitably cancelled. I just hope it is back in 2021.
