What happens when you wander around GenCon with a camera and an overdose of caffeine? ~
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.
The latest Academy Games offering in the Conflict of Heroes series, Bushido. Looks great as a minis game!
Fantasy Flight Games with much Star Wars goodness for all.
The good munchkins from Steve Jackson Games made their way up from Austin, TX again this year.
Gladiatorial combat in “Arena Rex.” Are you not entertained?
What’s Gencon without cos play?
What’s Gencon without the ever present Zombies?
Speaking of venerable, of course there was Settlers of Catan. (Insert wood for sheep joke here)
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.
Pirates in 28mm, “Blood and Plunder.” Avast and Yaaarrrrggghhhhh!
Many a kitten were exploded in the Oatmeal themed game “Exploding Kittens.” Oh the humanity!
Ian Brody of “Quartermaster General” fame. This year’s offering was “Victory or Death” covering the Pelopponesian War using QG’S system.
Just in case anyone needed dice, Chessex was more than happy to provide. Friend-of-GrogHeads Anthony Gallela was in there somewhere.

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.
