We’re at it again! Ryan Macklin is joined by Kevin Weiser of The Walking Eye podcast to kick off this third year of This Just In…From Gen Con! with the first of two pre-show episodes to whet your appetite for the spectacle of Gen Con Indy!
This episode deals with events that Kevin and Ryan are looking forward to at the show, a little bit about Gen Con’s drinking culture, and the traditional Convention Survival Tips.
We’ve like to thank this year’s sponsor of TJI, Sandstorm Productions. Be sure to check out ENnie nominated Eclipse Phase (and remember, voting on the ENnies goes until the 25th!)
(One thing not mentioned in the episode: once again, the fantastic guys at OgreCave will be saving our butts by doing our shownotes for us. A huge thank-you to Allan & Mike for his hard, frantically-quick work over the years.)
Running time: 28:23 / File size: 20.5M

This Just In…From GenCon 2009! Wrap-up
August 27th, 2009

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:
- 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-note support at the con. Beers are on me.
