CleanThis Just In… From Gen Con 2011! Bonus Wrap-Up | There was so much to talk about after Gen Con that hosts Rich Rogers and Daniel M. Perez got together with 2011 Season Patron Dan Repperger of Fear The Boot to do a bonus wrap-up episode. We talk about our personal experiences at the convention, what we did and didn’t do; we talk about our observations about Gen Con, the trends we observed, the demographic shifts and how this stands as a snapshot of the state of hobby gaming; and we do a live post-mortem of the entire season of TJIGenCon, from the pre-production steps months before the con, to the crowdfunding to the actual convention coverage, picking apart what worked, what didn’t, where we dropped the ball and what we learned for future seasons. We conclude by thanking each and every one of the backers of our IndieGoGo crowdfunding campaign. Thank you all so much for all your support this year, and we hope to see you next year at This.

CleanTJIGenCon on IndieGoGo | Doing This Just In… From Gen Con for the four days of the convention is a full-time job. Besides the recording time, there is also pre-production, guest wrangling, info gathering, editing and uploading of the audio files, and posting the episodes to the feed among other little things, and this is done twice a day each day. In years past, the hosts have sought corporate sponsor to help offset the costs associated with all the work done. This year, however, we’re trying something different. This year, we’re turning to you, the fans. We have launched a crowdfunding campaign via IndieGoGo. Become a supporter and get neat perks like TJI stickers and T-shirts, as well as sponsor credits on the show. Thanks to some of our friends in the gaming community, we are also able to offer some neat gaming perks as well, like exclusive content to Jeremy Keller’s new game, Technoir, and a free PDF of Chris Perrin’s game, Mecha! And there might even be more coming! We hope you will become a partner in this year’s season of This Just In… From Gen Con. IndieGoGo.com/TJIGenCon | 6/16/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

This Just In…From GenCon 2009! Wrap-up | A little over a week after the convention doors closed, Ryan releases the traditional yearly Gen Con wrap-up that Ken Hite & Paul Tevis do (with special guest producer Ryan Macklin, apparently). It should be noted that this recording started 1am on GenCon Monday. 00:20 – Ryan heralds the virtual arrival of Paul & Ken in an exhausted manner. 01:50 – Ken begins the commentary on the effects the economy has had on GenCon 02:23 – Ryan talks briefly about the RPG bloggers & podcasters, turning the discussion to new media navel gazing. 04:55 – Paul saves us by relating it back to the economy and its effects on GenCon. 06:15 – Ken talks about the transition of booths in the dealer hall. 07:20 – And we go briefly back to gaming new media. 08:10 – And Godwin’s Law is demonstrated. 08:30 – Hero Sixth Edition sold well, without the book even being there. And many other people did very well, like Pelgrane & Adventure Retail. 09:40 – Talking about the split up of “indie alley” 10:47 – Moving onto Gen Con’s management & investing in the convention — the new registration system & iPhone app. 11:46 – Welcome to 2007, Paul. 12:13 – “It’s not that they’re in survival mode.” / “They’re in growth & improvement mode.” 12:49 – Paul talks about the difference between this and last years This Just In. This year was less product-oriented. 14:08 – And Paul makes us fix this remedy. Our list: 14:22 – Action Castle 15:22 – Homecoming: one soldier’s story 16:35 – Sign In Stranger: Making Contact 16:55 – Bloodstained Stars 17:30 – Venus 2141 19:30 - S/Lay W/Me 22:20 - GURPS Vorkosigan (Angry fan mail can be directed to Paul) 23:35 – Geist: the Sin Eaters (for a look at the visuals, check out the quick start guide) 26: 13 – “If Ed Healy is liking something, the odds are it’s certainly worth paying attention to.” 26:32 – Pathfinder (and talk about the production model and its amazing success) 29:02 – Cubicle 7 Pathfinder supplements 29:24 – “4/e was selling membership in a brand. Paizo was selling membership in a religion.” 29:45 – Starblazer Adventures 31:13 – Warhammer Fantasy 3rd Edition (Preview at Gen Con, not yet out) 31:40 – Fantasy Craft 33:20 – Warriors & Warlocks 34:35 – Paul acknowledges special guest producer Ryan Macklin 34:53 – Spycraft 2.0 Pocket Edition 36:08 – Volume, indeed 36:34 – Paul asks Ken about the Day After Ragnarok different form factors between the Savage Worlds edition & Hero Edition. 37:44 – Weird War II for Savage Worlds 40:20 – Chronica Feudalis 41:23 – Clearly, there needed to be more post-production. I was punchy at nigh 2am. 41:57 – “The Gen Con of Twitter” 43:43 – The ENnies live-tweeted the results as they happened. And somehow Ryan neglected to boast about the Evil Hat ENnies he accepted for. 44:10 – Hi, Rob. 46:34 – We declare it to be late. 46:45 – But not so late that Ken can’t remind us of our duty of pimpage: Rough Magicks for Trail of Cthulhu Day After Ragnarok, Hero 6th Edition Version (A note that it’s the first Hero 6th supplement, alongside The War of Worldcraft, both of which are third-party books.) Cthulhu 101 The Antarctic Express Grim War 50:15 – And Paul gets in on the pimpery train: A Penny For My Thoughts 51:20 – And the trio closes out the show as they should, with some fine scotch. I apologize for the poorer audio quality. This was recorded in a hotel room, we were tired, but for all you hardcore fans out there, here you go. And a big thank-you to Ken & Paul for, well, being Ken & Paul on tape. And again, thank you to our friends at OgreCave for the show-not[...] | 8/27/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Great podcast
Discovered this via Jennisodes. Great way to get a feel of Gen Con.
Stuck in ND
Wish I could afford the time and money to go to gencon. As a disabled vet I rediscovered D&D as it hit 4th Ed while healing up. Also discovered great podcasts like this. Keep up the good work.
