Didn't win a badge? Remember that we'll be selecting stories and photos to include in the 40 Years of Gen Con coffee table book in the next month or so. This selection is completely separate from the free badge promo ... so there's still a chance you could end up in the book and get a free copy, too, whether you won a badge or not! We'll announce those names sometime in May, so stay tuned!

Also, http://GenCon.com will be accepting pre-orders for the 40 Years of Gen Con coffee table book through their website, and the Gen Con Indy gift shop will be THE exclusive place to buy it on its release in August ... if you can wait, it should also be available through your friendly local retail store a few weeks after the convention.
