InkPen Productions

Had a very productive GenCon this year, I think. Four of my five events were full (the Friday night event only had three people show up, so we had to cancel), and I got to show my book to a lot of people. I got some professional criticism on my book from various individuals in the gaming industry including insiders from both Mongoose Publishing and Wizards of the Coast!

There was a lot of great stuff in the Exhibit Hall as always, and plenty of great costumes. Just off hand, I saw Drizzt, a great many Ghostbusters, the occassional Mario and Luigi, about thirteen Links, a couple of Ls, a girl dressed as David Bowie's character from Labyrinth, and so many random anime cahracters that you couldn't sling a dead pikachu without hitting one!

One of the most intriguing booths I came across was "The Game Crafter" which is a print-on-demand board and card game publisher. They operate very much as Lulu, the site that publishes my books, does. This is great news for one of my artists, Don Stout, who has developed his own CCG. He'll be able to upload his game's content to this publisher's website, and sell it online from his own site. I'll be posting a link as soon as he gets his site up and running.

A more comprehensive review of this year's GenCon Indy will be soon to follow, including pictures and video taken at the Indiana Convention Center.
