GEN CON has been over for a couple of weeks now. As you probably inferred form various previous news updates, EN World was there armed with video cameras and microphones capturing as much of the convention as possible for the benefit of those who couldn't be there. This article is a recap/summary of all that video coverage.
Lots of video coverage! Interviews, features, videos of the doors opening (CHAAAAARGE!), the coolest die at Gen Con, a Wookie and Klingon singing the Ewok victory song, ENnies pre-show "red carpet" interviews (no actual red carpet featured), Monte Cook, Erik Mona, Shanna Germain, Chris Pramas, Wil Wheaton, top-secret UK industry panel, costumes, and more!
(We'll have the ENnies ceremony once it's been through editing! We're breaking that down into chunks so that winners can link to their own bits!)
I'm told it's vital that I keep repeating the word SUBSCRIBE. Apparently it's very important that you hit that "SUBSCRIBE" button on our YouTube channel. So please, do SUBSCRIBE. There. I've done it!

These aren't EN World's (they're from Paizo and WotC), but they're totally relevant if Pathfinder or D&D is your thing!

[h=3]Interviews[/h]
- ENnies 2013 Pre-Show Interviews -- Before the ENnies (Gen Con EN World RPG Awards) begin, we have the glamourous pre-show period where guests (read: loads of famous game designers!) mingle, chat, and avail themselves of the cash bar. Russ and Matt also interviewed people live on air. This is a cleaned-up, edited version of those pre-show interviews, right in front of the ENnies stage. Sean Patrick Fannon, Tracy Barnett, Leighton Connor, Mike Myler, Erik Mona, Charles Ryan, Amanda Valentine, Mathew Muth, Rone Barton, Eloy Lasanta, Robin D. Laws, Mary Crowell, Todd Gamble, Jonathan Nelson, Kirin Robinson, Dominic McDowell.
- Chris Pramas of Green Ronin Publishing on DRAGON AGE RPG, MUTANTS & MASTERMINDS, Wil Wheaton's TABLETOP, and more! (Incidentally, be sure to back the Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for Chris' spinal surgery!)
- Monte Cook & Shanna Germain of Monte Cook Games on the brand new NUMENERA RPG and conventions.
- Erik Mona of Paizo Publishing on the latest PATHFINDER BATTLES MINIATURES.
- Charles Ryan of Monte Cook Games (very briefly) on the NUMENERA RPG.
- A Top-Secret Panel of UK Publishers Convenes.... Russ Morrissey hosts an impromptu panel of UK Publishers at Gen Con Indy 2013. Features Simon Rogers of Pelgrane Press, Dominic McDowall of Cubicle Seven, Angus Abranson of Chronicle City and Chris Birch of Modiphius Entertainment. This short panel was arranged at short notice and was nearly held in the toilets... but we found a quietish corner of the exhibit hall instead. Shhhh....

- ENnies Winners -- We catch up with some of the winners the morning after the ENnies (those we could find!) including a belated acceptance speech from Wil Wheaton of TABLETOP and comments from an official Wizards of the Coast representative. Also featuring Green Ronin, Cubicle 7, Agate Editions, Modiphius, Paizo, Catalyst Game Labs, Goodman Games, Privateer Press, and more!
- ENnies Bingo! -- We played ENnies Bingo in the Trade Hall at Gen Con. How many nominees did we find?
- Gen Con Booth Tour -- Russ and Matt, our resident booth babes, take a quick tour of the Trade Hall.
- The Coolest Die at Gen Con -- We were asked to find the coolest die at Gen Con. How did we do?
[h=3]Miscellany[/h]
There's all sorts of other stuff that goes on at the convention.
- Cosplay -- We saw loads of brilliant costumes at Gen Con 2013. Here's a few of them.
- The Costume Parade -- The traditional costume parade at Gen Con 2013.
- The Greatest Thing in America -- We were lucky enough to be on hand at Gen Con to record the Greatest Thing In America (and therefore, presumably the world) - Chewbacca on the Cello playing the Ewok Celebration Song with a Klingon, a pirate and a fairy!
- The Trade Hall (fast) and The Trade Hall (slow) -- We ran round the trade hall at Gen Con in record time to bring you this video! This gives you an idea of the scale of Gen Con! This is just the exhibit hall - there's lots more!
- Opening the Doors -- we got footage of this from various angles. Quite a stampede! Angles: One, Two, Three, and Four.
