The RPG Room GenCon and Ennies

GMS Magazine Podcast Channel - RPGs, Boardgames reviews, interviews and advice.

For those of us who are on the other side of the planet, GenCon is a very difficult to reach convention. And that can be frustrating because, inarguably, GenCon is the best RPG convention in the world and the biggest. And we can’t be there. Or I can’t. However both Vickey and Jim do get there and spend a lot of time working and doing cool stuff and can tell us all about it. And we discuss the Ennies and the usefulness or futility of pursuing awards like it. Yep…. we’re going controversial! Also, Jim M. Ward, one of the legends of RPG is going through a rough time at the moment. As it tends to happen in the USA too often, when people get ill. they face huge bills and that is Jim’s situation. He is a genuinely good man and doesn’t deserve to be in this situation. A GoFundMe campaign has been setup to help gather some funds for him. Please, if you can, donate anything you can. If you can’t help, please share this page and let people know. Thank you for your support.
