This year I've been selected as a GenCon Industry Insider! I first began freelance writing for RPGs in 2002 (wow!) and have contributed to Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder RPG, White Wolf, and Sword & Sorcery (among others) in the years since.
GenCon is a thrilling experience—I first attended in 2004 and was overwhelmed by the immense gathering of gamers. I haven't attended for several years, though, due to the expense. Coming from Canada, plane tickets are expensive. (No wonder Frodo walked to Mt. Doom. The giant eagles probably charged an arm and a leg, and didn't even offer complimentary peanuts.)
It's a huge honor to be accepted as an Industry Insider, and while the program covers my badge fee, there are other costs to consider, like hotel rates. My old bones can't handle sleeping under tables in the 24-hour gaming hall anymore. (Just kidding. I slept in the 24-hour theaters. The chairs were much comfier.) This fundraiser will cover my plane ticket and hotel room for GenCon 2017.
Gaming and nerdery of cons past.
If 100 people gave $20 each, I'd hit my goal! But you don't have to give $20. (You don't have to give anything—I'm just hoping if you've read this far, you'd like to help in some way.) Anything from $1 on will help. $1 is like 2/3 of a coffee, and coffee is sometimes all I need for a day at a con. If you can't donate, consider sharing my campaign on Facebook, Twitter, tumblr, or another platform. Mention it casually at your next game night. Rent a billboard. Send carrier pigeons! Any exposure helps.
Thank you so much for any support you can offer. Fingers crossed I'll make it to GenCon this year!
