That's ultimately a question that is unique to each one of us with varying answers. Hope that puts a few things in perspective for those of us in the midwest trying to decide which con is the right con for us. Game Hole Con is same time frame and 10+ hours opposite direction for me vs Philly, yet i can tell you which one is already booked in my calendar for vacation days and it isn't Pax. Just everyone kept expecting more and a common thread was this was it? Even to the point of little to no signage or sign that this con was even going on.Īs an attendee that drove 9+ hours, i'll tell you there are far better options for gaming.

Daily queue and paper tickets every morning. If you want events then far better around.Įvent registration was horrible and seriously makes (I'm not kidding) Origins/Gama look sane and competent. If you're an local, it was worth the trip for the dealerhall but otherwise this con was a bust. My honest impressions was this is a pax? Couldn't and still can't see the hype. I worked for a exhibitor and was in the dealerhall almost all con. It was a nice con but nowhere near the scale of Gen Con.Īlec Usticke, Fans of Gen Con Facebook Groupĭamn how did I not run into you? One of these day's I'll meet and actually shake your hand and put a real face to the name.
