Saturday was unsurprisingly the busiest day yet. Though still not thick enough to inhibit traffic, social distancing was a significant challenge in the dealer hall. I dutifully spent some time navigating the shoals and surveying the nearby shores for ports of call and a chance at more booty. I stopped at a few places to chat about their product, get the occasional quick demo, and record conversations with some folks. The crowds were frankly exhausting, however, and I was just as happy to make some final purchases at the Dryad Teas booth and pick up a few enamel pins that had caught my eye, then catch up with Dan for a long overdue podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the nice things about having a room at one of the hotels attached to the con was that it was an easy walk to somewhere quiet. Dan and I took some time to organize our thoughts and discuss our Gen Con experience, after which we parted ways – presumably for the last time – and I took a much-needed siesta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I met Peter for dinner at the Weber Grill. I won’t be gauche enough to post pictures of my food, but I don’t think I’m overstating it to say that I had the best burger of my life. If you’re ever in downtown Indianapolis, do yourself a favor… it was pricey, but an experience all it’s own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After dinner I realized that I had committed the unforgivable sin of neglecting to grab a selfie with Dan. This was our very first meeting face-to-face after nearly a decade of friendship, and I was devastated until I discovered that he had not yet fled the convention center. I quickly made my way back following dinner, and we relaxed in a quiet corner of the con for another hour or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So while I didn’t play any games on Day Three, I collected a good deal of media to share with friends and fans and spent some valuable time enjoying the convention. I don’t know if I’ll even have anything significant to discuss on Day Four, but I’m more than content with my first – and quite possibly but hopefully not, only – trip to Gen Con.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
