#gencon2024 #GEncon #puppetry

Well, I did a deeply terrifying thing, but also strangely cathartic and vulnerable. I participated in a Puppet Karaoke ( at Gencon ).

I often wear a 'mask' wherein I mimic people around me or hide who I truly am or what I truly am feeling at any given moment. You would think the Puppet is just another mask, but no it was something far more profound than that.

The puppet was a 'safe' extension of my inner self. It was a way to both interact with other humans, while also allowing me to fix my eyes on the manipulation of the puppet. This felt safer than actually looking at a crowd of people, but it also lead to a kind of deep and satisfying level of vulnerability I don't often feel. Unfortunately, the whole experience was followed by anxiety and panic, but while I was in the moment it was amazing.

Was hoping for a quiet week post-GenCon, but instead have been really busy! Here’s our full #GenCon2024 haul - a mix of games & miscellaneous nerd merch. Honestly most excited about two expansions - for Forest Shuffle, which I hear rebalances the game, & Space Base, one of the most under-rated games out there IMHO. As always, we picked up a few dice sets - it’s hard to avoid at #GenCon. Dispel Dice has a firm hold on my heart, even though every year I say I have enough dice. #BoardGames

Insight 1: I'm not as young as I used to be. I signed up for 6 4-hour shifts over the 4-day weekend. I probably should have kept it at 4, one per day. I ended up being exhausted after most of the days, not able to enjoy some days as much as I wanted. I slept much of Monday, just recovering.

That being said, I didn't have a set agenda this year. I spent a couple days just palling around with friends. That was nice.

A view of "CardHalla" - a GenCon tradition of setting up elaborate card castles and other 3-D figures in an area of the convention. On Saturday night, money is thrown at the sculptures to knock them down, and the first throw is auctioned off. All proceeds go to charity. This view is from the upper balcony looking down.

I know what you were waiting for! A post-script on my #GenCon2024 experience.

This is the first year I worked as a demoer for Flat River Group. Basically, other companies hire FRG to do demoing and retail at conventions, because its hard to do all that yourself. (Speaking from experience here.) So, I demoed three board games for them: Captain Flip, Spotlight, and Redwood, from 3 different companies.

The floor and stadium of Lucas Oil Stadium, packed with gamers. While it doesn't look like much from above. When seen from table level, the area is surprisingly huge.
