\nSynopsis: This was our best Gencon ever and we have a lot to show for it. We won best podcast at the Ennies this year! A very special thanks goes out to every fan that voted for us. This podcast wouldn’t be anything without the support of our fans. Thanks!\xa0 I also shot some video at Gencon this year, a special four part series called The Oregon Trail Question. All four episodes are online now and feature the following game designers and writers:
\nPart 1: Dennis Detwiller, Adam Scott Glancy from Pagan Publishing, and Jack Graham.
\nPart 2: Bob Arens, Tim Shaw, Brandon Aren and Wayne Smith.
\nPart 3: Kenneth Hite, Robin Laws, Shane Ivey, and Seth Larson.
\nPart 4: Steve Long, Jim Pinto, Brian Jelke, and Jolly Blackburn.
