I just realized I have absolutely no idea if the pop-up Gen-Cons (Gens-Con) were successful. This probably means they were not as successful as hoped and they are discontinuing them, or they were precisely as successful as hoped and there is no need to overhype it now that they know it will work?

It also may mean some sort of third thing

Apparently Not:

Can’t make it to Indianapolis for Gen Con 2020?

Pop-Up Gen Con brings the convention experience to a store near you! We’ll ship exclusive demo copies of new games debuting at Gen Con to game stores across the United States (and possibly the UK and Canada), so you can play convention-released games before they hit the market!

In 2019, the pilot year of the program, we had over 40 stores participating, in 2020 we plan to double that! Gather with your local gaming community, try out hot new games before anyone else, and feel the excitement of The Best Four Days in Gaming™ — all from the comfort of your friendly local game store.

Stay tuned to this space which will be updated with information as to when Pop-Up Gen Con badge registration ($5) is available, what local stores will be participating, what Publishers and games will be part of the program, and much more! Gen Con 2020 will be held July 30-August 2, 2020.

Well that is good, it clearly did well enough that they are expanding the program, which means the number of stores potentially doing a Pop-Up Gen-Con on my route from home to Gen-Con increases! Not that anything would be happening there on the Tuesday before so why do I care

Started writing the 2020 post already; U-S-A!!!

Oh sorry Haystack, I knew we forgot to tell someone when we all pooled our money and bought the old Noodles & Company building to sleep in while at Gen-Con

Edit: Wow we really did not tell you, this is the old thread, gonna close it now

Edit one last time: OH MY GYGAX I NEVER POSTED A LINK TO THE NEW THREAD I AM AN IDIOT
