Michael Dunn (special to GrogHeads), 20 August 2016
While GrogHeads doesn’t have the official presence at GenCon that we do at Origins, we still sneak in someone to play games and take pictures. This year, we borrowed Mike to do the honors for us.
As expected, Pokémon Go loomed large at this year’s GenCon as many attendees wandered about heads down over their mobile devices capturing many a loose Pokémon. If only they glanced up to see Pikachu floating overhead.
Pirates in 28mm, “Blood and Plunder.” Avast and Yaaarrrrggghhhhh!
The good munchkins from Steve Jackson Games made their way up from Austin, TX again this year.

Ares Games provided plenty of “Wings of Glory” and “Sails of Glory” for all.
Gladiatorial combat in “Arena Rex.” Are you not entertained?

Just in case anyone needed dice, Chessex was more than happy to provide. Friend-of-GrogHeads Anthony Gallela was in there somewhere.

Kriegsspiel pics from Mike Davis’ game that he ran. Always good to return to our wargaming roots and play the game that started it all.
