Visibility is key in the current location, other places are kinda outta the way and you might get less "hey wtf is this?" foot traffic.

Worst smell was easily a man in a hoveround that had literally shat himself (I am a nurse, I can tell a fart and a shite). He made no move to go to the bathroom, but instead was continuing to browse old musty GURPS books...

Do you like burgers? Like real mother fuckin' burgers? Sometimes with spicy things?
Do you like Metal Music so loud you can't hear your friends at times?
Do you like 20+ rotating drafts?
Do you like servers who don't treat you like a loving sunshine cupcake and are just knowledgeable and attentive?

Kuma's Corner in Fountain Square (2 miles away) wants to be your friend.

It's a fairly lovely (IMO) shuffleboard combat game tacked onto an escape room.

A bigger auction room would be tops.

Yeah, the auction really needs a bigger space at this point, particularly for the store.

Imagine. Being able to walk down aisles, not have stuff piled on top of one another, breathing room, ahhhhh, serenity.

Recap:

2012 Ale of Destiny - Belgian dark ale
2013 Flagon Slayer - Braggot (mead+beer)
2014 Froth of Khan - Brown ale (coffee)
2015 Drink on and Prosper - American blonde ale
2016 20-Sided Rye - Rye (Roggenbier)
2017 Dragon's Delight - Belgian golden ale

Can we go back to some more interesting varietels? I understand quaff-ability is pretty important in August heat, maybe a shandy next year? We could even name it Grapefruit Jungle Meeple or whatever.

The Rathskeller is a fine establishment, worth the Uber or long walk, then you are only short distance away from Mass Ave, one of the best streets in Indy proper.

Rathskeller's kitchen has either gone downhill (likely) or Indy's food scene has just outshined it so much these days (also likely).

But the atmosphere and history makes it a worthwhile haunt. Drink beer, eat spicy pretzels, listen to live polka music.

One of my favorite parts of the Gencon dealer hall is talking to the people that run the hobby. Execs, designers, artists, new media personalities, etc.

Also in regards to stuff to do after dealer hall closes, you can wander around the open table halls and companies will have non-ticketed demos and full games, also companies rent full rooms that do games like Rio, Asmadi, Iello, BGG hot boardgame room. Or you can go to the play test zone and help a game get better before release.

Or just play with goons (says the guy who is bad at it)

Never a reason to be bored at Gencon.

Out of curiosity, did anyone happen to test out Orcs Must Die!? I saw it like half an hour before the hall closed on Friday and the guys were busy with demos, but I never made it back on Saturday. I'm a sucker for the video game and was wondering how it'd actually play out.

I recall in the groupme that it should have been called Orcs Must Dice!

Bob Ross game was an acceptable filler. Not gonna light the world on fire. It's a sort of push your luck set collection, racing game. We played 4 players, and it isn't optimized for different player counts. I would say it would be best at 3, maybe even 2.

Origins is a good show to actually play games at. Gencon is a goddamn spectacle.
