Calling all nerds. They came from near and far to let their geek flags fly: video gamers, fantasy freaks, card-playing kids and adults alike. Some came in costumes, outfitted as their favorite characters, others in kilts or covered in blood. They came for the promise of "the best four days in gaming" to the Indiana Convention Center this week to play Magic the Gathering, World of Warcraft, Dungeons and Dragons, Spoil or hundreds of other entertainments that made up Gen Con Indy.
Thousands of roleplayers filled the auditorium and corridors of the convention center, and spilled out into the halls and across the skywalks to the connected hotels. There were large rooms where attendees set up their games on long tables. There were official tournaments, draft games and pickup games alike. Not just fun and games. When not playing, Gen Conners gathered in an adjoining hall where a huge trade show took place. A full fledged bazaar where new wares were showcased, and festively-clad merchants and advents engaged in the the buying and selling of cards and dice, books, art and all things for the gamer enthusiast.
