Gen Con Convention Vlog Part 1! | Day 1 & 2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 дек 2024
- Hey friends! Welcome to the first of 2 Gen Con vlogs! I decided to split this up into two vlogs just because it was a bit long with all the footage I got. I got there on Wednesday. So this is going to be Wednesday and Thursday. I know Gen Con didn't technically start until Thursday but I am considering Wednesday as my "Day 1". The next vlog will be Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Sadly I did have to leave early Sunday so it was just a travel home day. Hope you all enjoy!

GenCon feels so calm and peaceful with that music. 😂
rest assured it is pure chaos. 😊
@@jamesbrazeal3847 yeap! It took me 2 days to walk the entire exhibition hall. 😅😅😖
Have garden, will travel. LOL 😊
OMG!!!! Thank you sooooooo much for the videos. Everybody else was like, "Look what I bought." or they were reporting and interviewing. Only you took me through Gencon as if I were there. This was just priceless, really. Thank you thank you thank you
Great vlogging and calm background music. 100% going to GenCon 2024 and nothing can stop me 😤
It was so good to hang with you Jenna!
I was so happy to be able to teach you Root! What an honor!
This is the most chill convention video I've seen! Well done!🎉
Great to see all the fun you had. Bummed I couldn't make it this year. And so awesome that you got to work and hang out with Mike, Shannon, and the rest of the 3WS crew. They are great! Mike taught us Stuff of Legend at GAMA and it was fun even though we lost. Love that my game made a quick cameo appearance as you passed the KTBG booth! 😆
Jenna, it was LOVELY to meet you this weekend at 3WS. I was the silly guy with glasses who said hey to you at the booth. I love your channel and how relaxing it is. Thank you for everything you do ❤️✌🏻
Hello Jenna! It was great to have a chance to say hi to you. I was the guy in the cowboy hat who stopped by twice lol. As per your recommendation, I picked up Cardtographers but have yet to play it. I'm looking forward to trying it out. Hope you enjoyed your first GenCon! I hope it will be the first of many! And if you are looking to do another con in the near future, then perhaps I'll see you at PAX Unplugged in Philly!
oh man! I was hoping to see you and say hi, but I missed you. Definitely an exhausting but exhilarating experience all at the same time. My favorite games of the con were Thunder Road Vendetta, just an absolute blast, and Planet Unknown. Playing Expeditions on an NFL field was absolutely something I will remember for the rest of my life. I enjoyed your vlogs as it's allowing me to relive my experience.
What did you think of Root? Fell in love with this game at Origins and ended up buying everything for it!
JennaCon! :D
Wait, your booth was right across from Cephalofair looking by all those Gloomhaven, Frosthaven etc. boxes? Hole-y carp! :o
Yeah she was right across from Isaac Childres and she didn’t even know lol
Thanks for sharing the experience. What was your experience learning Root with Sam? He seriously helped me learn it. Years ago I was turned off learning it from someone who didn’t teach it well. Got my review copy to the table yesterday and had a blast!
Looks like you had a great time! So cool to see Jeff and Jamie with you as well. It's always more fun traveling with friends. Can't wait to see what you brought back. Thanks for sharing!
It was so nice to have them as travel buddies and just as friends to hang out with throughout the weekend. They are wonderful. 🥰 I can't wait to share the haul!
It must have been an amazing (but exhausting) weekend! Looking forward to seeing the rest of your vlog!
It was absolutely amazing! Missing it already. Excited to upload Part 2 on Friday! 😊
Hey! I met you in the 3WS booth!
Mr. Cabbagehead's Garden! That's one that definitely caught my eye at my last GenCon (though I don't really solo game and it seems to be better that way). I love that you traveled with Jeff and Jaimie; was so sorry they didn't make it to LevelUp, but absolutely seem like folks I'd love to play a game with one day!
And you worked with Th3rd World Studios?!? (Did you reach out to them, or did they reach out to you?) I'd love to hear your opinion of The Stuff of Legend, if you end up doing a full review of the game (though your day-1 thoughts may cover that!); it was one of my first Kickstarters, hoping to table it this weekend.
Looking forward to the rest of the vlog, and as a fellow introvert, I hope you enjoyed the con despite the insane crowds! (Loved the music for day 2, so calm compared to what the con is generally like.)
Looks a lot quieter than other vlogs.
it's been great to see everyone's GenCon content.... wish I could've gone... I must have missed something... why were you working with/for TWS?
I hope you can go at some point! It was a great experience. 😊 I was actually working the 3WS booth because it helped me afford to go to Gen Con. Travelling from Canada gets pretty expensive so working a booth (the publisher will typically pay for your hotel) really helps with the cost.
@@TheBoardGameGarden ah, that's neat, I didn't know publishers did that... I wondered if what was a promotional thing, like come by the booth and see the fabulous Jenna! It would've got me to come by the booth!
Wow so great to hang out with you!!! Just subscribed!!! 🎉😂
It was so nice to meet and hangout with you Shannon! Miss ya! 😊
@@TheBoardGameGarden miss you 🥰
You do a good job of making it look like there's only about 700 people there. 😅
awesome! just found ur channel!! very cool!!😊😎
Thank you so much! 😊
Wait, was that Tim opposite you playing Root? I think I had my first case of RUclips instantiation watching his and your videos?
It was! We are good friends and I spent a lot of my time with him and Sam at the con. 😊 Was super fun. They are wonderful.
Garden With Wings ✈
YESSS! There we go!
What map did you use for Root???
It is a map that Sam made himself! He designed and illustrated it! 👏🏻
❤❤❤
Awh miss you guys already! 🥺💕 Hopefully I'll be able to join for PAX! 🤞🏻
Looks like you had a lot of fun!
I've wondered about going to gen con but after seeing videos of it, I think I'll pass. Not a fan of the segregation.
Lmao BIPOC lounge
So glad they have one.
The BIPOC lounge was wonderful! They are doing great things. 💕
@@TheBoardGameGarden Seems like racial segregation to me, but under a different name. My boyfriend and I have been attending Gen for many years and last year was the final straw. My boyfriend is white and I'm black and when he entered that space with me (because I wanted to see Eric Lang) the amount of dirty looks he got was insane. So this year we decided not to go to boycott the blatant racism of having segregated spaces. It's bad enough that I, as a black man, would be referred to as a "Person of color", which essentially just means "other" or "not white". Maybe I'm just old, but sadly I remember this term being used against me when I was a teenager . . . now suddenly it's back and oddly enough fully promoted primarily by white people. What a shame.
@@atgrandfathersknee3065 Sorry to hear that happened last year. I was in there a few times last year and it was enjoyable. Definitely saw a few white people come in and out. That sucks that your boyfriend got dirty looks though. I definitely don't think it's meant to segregate us but is meant as a place for us to make sure we meet one another, network, and encourage BIPOC voices reach everyone through the games we design.
