GenCon Trip Report: We Had Access to VIPs | The Goblins and Growlers Podcast

In our efforts to become more pro, we sent Josh to GenCon as a correspondent because we were able to get invites to a bunch of industry networking events. It's a tale of long-haul driving, spaceship administration, and insomnia. Despite being a multi-year veteran of DragonCon, this was Josh's first trip to the Hoosier state for THE largest tabletop gaming convention.

Josh was able to chat with Jess Lanzillo, the head of D&D for Wizards of the Coast, and Kobold Press COO, Alexander Stangroom, to get some insight about D&D's plan for digital copies of books for print buyers and Kobold's Black Flag Resource Document.

Something to take note of: We had a TON to talk about from this trip and some of it is super in the weeds. We didn't want to spend weeks on the main feed downloading from GenCon, so we've got four other videos that are like 15-20 minutes or so a piece. We've been planning to reboot our Patreon and breathe some new life into it after some COVID- and general stress-related neglect, so those coming out on our Patreon over the next few weeks.
