Group Description

🎲 The biggest tabletop gaming convention in North America is almost here. Let’s find each other first.
 
Gen Con has been running since 1968, when D&D co-creator Gary Gygax founded it in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. It’s called home in Indianapolis since 2003, and this year it takes over the Indiana Convention Center, Lucas Oil Stadium, and the surrounding downtown hotels from July 30 through August 2. Thousands of ticketed events, a massive Exhibit Hall, an outdoor Block Party, and tens of thousands of gamers who all showed up for the same reason you did.
 
This group is for Gen Con attendees who want to walk in already knowing people. Whether you’re chasing a seat at a specific RPG session, looking for a pickup group for a board game you’ve never tried, or just want to know who else from your area is making the trip, this is where you connect before badges scan.
 
🗺️ Here’s what you’ll find: – A place to coordinate with other Gen Con attendees before and during the show – Event and session planning threads: what are you running, what are you hoping to get into, who needs one more player – Tips from Gen Con veterans on badge lines, hotel strategy, and navigating four days downtown – A community that doesn’t log off when the con ends
 
Gen Con draws gamers from every corner of the hobby, from lifelong RPG players to people picking up their first set of dice. If you’re heading to Indianapolis this year, don’t do it alone.
