I hung around with friends. I walked the floor a few times, gave a seminar to a full room (of chairs… with people on all of them!). I had an awesome interview with Chris Perkins (Killer of PCs, maker of TPKs). I ate high calorie comfort food, signed and sold lots of books and gamed gamed gamed!

Gen Con 2010: D&D New Products Seminar
Gen Con is one of two places to get all the big news in D&D for the next year (their own D&D XP convention being the other.) Like last year, we live-tweeted the announcements as they came in, but here’s a basic write-up of the seminar all in one place. We’ll also have photos of the different products later when we have access to a better internet connection.
Gen Con 2010: Castle Ravenloft Board Game Unboxing Video
On Wednesday, Day 0 of Gen Con, Trevor Kidd (community manager for Wizards of the Coast) gave us an opportunity to play in the Castle Ravenloft cooperative board game being released in the next few weeks. Trevor asked Bartoneus and I to help him do an unboxing video of all the components, so we’re posting the video (in two parts) below. Enjoy and let us know if you have any questions about it.
Logan Bonner’s Gen Con Schedule
I’ve scheduled very few events for Gen Con 2010. I want to play it by ear, and expect I’ll run into plenty of people even without making many plans. If you want to find me, I’ve included a picture of myself and the WB bag I’ll be carrying around. See the schedule below the gallery.
Official Guide to Stalking Vanir at Gen Con, 2010 Edition

Delving into the Lost City
Wolfgang Baur contacted me back in June to see if I’d be interested in working on a 4e project for Open Design. So this post is kind of a pitch, but I think you’ll see why I found the project intriguing. Hopefully you will, too.
Review: New Dice from Q-Workshop!
At this point, if you haven’t heard of Q-Workshop, then you’re missing out on some of the best dice that are being produced today! We are lucky enough to have gotten a chance to look at, roll around, and generally admire three of their sets of dice – Celtic Dice (pictured right), Forest Dice, and Elven Dice.
Chris Sims’s 2010 Gen Con Schedule
I’m going to Gen Con for the first time as a civilian, and like Chatty DM, for the first time as part of the Critical-Hits team. Here’s my planned schedule. We’ll see if it survives contact.
