Coming Soon ... 40 Years of Gen Con

We brought home some very exciting news from Gen Con, about a project we're putting on the schedule for 2007. At Peter Adkison's invitation, Atlas Games will be publishing a "40 Years of Gen Con" coffee table-style book to celebrate the convention's big anniversary next year. (It's older than I am!) Robin Laws will be writing the book; Randy "Keeper of Ancient Gen Con Lore" Porter will be the chief researcher/archivist; and Michelle Nephew will be editing, coordinating, and managing the production. All of us have been attending Gen Con for more than a dozen years. I don't know if there are enough superlatives in the English language to describe how we feel about this project, personally and professionally.

We'll have a lot more to say about the book in the near future, as we will be reaching out to four decades of attendees to put together a vast collage of the Gen Con experience from every point of view that we can cram in the book. This web page is in the process of being designed specifically for people to share tips, leads, personal stories, photos, etc., to help us make the best book possible. If you feel inspired by a rush of memories to share with posterity, or a discover of a box of old snapshots, we will want to hear from you!
