Gen Con Indy '05 Plans
This year, JD Wiker, Stan!, and Marc Schmalz will all be representing The Game Mechanics at Gen Con SoCal. Green Ronin Publishing, our print partner, has once again allowed us to work from their booth during the show. This will be a strange show for the Mechanics, though, since we won't be spending a majority of exhibition hall hours at the booth. Instead, we're going to be making use of the show as a business meeting: Now that the Mechanics are spread across the West Coast, we need to take advantage of the time we're together!
There will be plenty of chances to meet up with us, though. In addition to regular booth hours, the Mechanics will also be hosting a selection of free seminars:
