We have just let our Gen Con 2016 tour out of the bag and we are super pumped about it. We have the D6 Gen and Nerdherder podcast crews DMing Dungeons & Dragons for us! We have the crew from Osprey coming and a Hobby Challenge for their Frostgrave game… We have the designers of Descent and Warhammer Quest: The Card Game gaming with us AND we have Cool Mini or Not and Ninja Division leading us into their Dungeon Crawler games. To put icing on the cake Ronnie Renton from Mantic Games – the King Kahuna – himself leading us through Mantic’s Dungeon Saga….

You can see the full tour description here and you can book here but here is the blurb…

Geek Nation Tours is headed back to one of the largest and most prestigious gaming conventions in the world. That’s right – we are headed to Gen Con Indianapolis 2016! Gen Con has a long history of offering the very best in gaming conventions. Dive into every type of gaming imaginable – roleplaying games, card games, boardgames, tabletop games and computer games, just to mention just a few. They have even had Geek Speed Dating and a marathon…. Game to your heart’s content with old friends and the new ones you will meet.

Want to do some shopping or see what’s new in the gaming world? Are you interested in finding out about all the upcoming releases for the next year? Perhaps you would like to mingle with celebrities from the gaming world and see what they are working on. Maybe you want to pit your gaming skills against the best in the world or perhaps try out a few games that you have always wondered about. Gen Con is the best place in the world to do all these things. There will also be plenty of time to get some photos with cool Cosplay people or even wear a costume yourself!

Geek Nation Tours always makes sure there is plenty to do prior and during Gen Con, and 2016 will be no exception as we will continue to offer exclusive gaming opportunities. Each year our tour participants get to game with the people that design, develop and produce the games they love. In the past our tour participants have demanded “More Gaming” and this year we will supply just that! This year’s theme will be Dungeon Crawler games! So if you ever wanted to explore the depths of unknown caverns and pit your warrior’s skill or learned spell casting against those dwelling in the dungeons – this is the tour for you. We will focus on many Dungeon Crawler games with Mantic Games (Dungeon Saga), Cool Mini or Not (Arcadia Quest), Ninja Division (Super Dungeon Explore), Fantasy Flight Games (Descent & Warhammer Quest: The Adventure Card Game), Smirk and Dagger (Cutthroat Caverns) and S2’s Dungeon Dwellers. Many of these crews will join us to explain their game’s mechanics and to roll dice right alongside us. We will even be headed off to the infamous True Dungeon for a session or two.

The Kentucky Fried Gamers crew will also be a large part of our “Dungeon Crawl” extravaganza and as a matter of fact we will be joining them and their membership before Gen Con even starts. If you ever wanted to be a part of the Gen Con community, this is your chance! You are sure to leave the tour with new gaming friends from all around the world. And if all goes well we will be joining the KFG crew on a Pub Hop Tuesday night. This way you can “have a few” with members of the Gen Con community, game and talk to like-minded people that love games just like you.

“We want more Fantasy gaming goodness!” you say? Geek Nation Tours will be doing something special this year. We have a hobby challenge for any that want to pick up a brush. We will be highlighting the awesome new miniature wargame Frostgrave throughout the tour. We will be bringing some Frostgrave terrain (supplied by Armorcast and painted by Ironheart Artisans) and you will have the opportunity to explore the frozen land in search of magical treasure every day while on our tour. We might even have a special guest come by… more on that as we get closer to Gen Con proper….

Are you a Gen Con newbie or a veteran? Both will appreciate Geek Nation Tours ability to make the registration process easier for all. While your 4-day Gen Con badge is included in the tour package, you will still have to register for events. To that end, we will be arranging a pre-registration conference call via Skype to help expedite the registration process and to help everyone choose the events they want. Are you slightly overwhelmed by the registration procedure? Not sure what to register for when the cart opens? Worried that you might be missing the very best in seminars or gaming opportunities? Let Geek Nation Tours ease your mind. We will be joined by the D6 Generation crew for our Pre-Registration Conference call, which will take place in the spring of 2016. Even before we arrive in Indianapolis, Geek Nation Tours will endeavor to make the Gen Con experience exceptional…

We will also be hosting our traditional “Welcome and How to Get the Best out of Your Gen Con” dinner. This year we will be joined by the crew of the D6 Generation Podcast and the Nerdherders (both Gen Con Veterans) as well as the Mantic Games crew. All will give us tips on how to best experience our convention. Further, we are proud to announce that we will be again handing out our Gen Con badges and event tickets! That’s right, no ticket pickup lines and no delivery costs for any items that are pre-registered for prior to June 15th! We will deliver them right into your eager hands. Our welcome dinners are always informative and loads of fun. They are great for newbies and veterans alike, and you are sure to leave with a smile on your face, a full belly and all the information necessary to get the most out of your Gen Con experience.

What!? Want more Fantasy gaming? Well we have another first for you on our 2016 tour. The Nerdherders AND the crew from the D6 Generation Podcasts will be not only joining us for our Welcome Dinner but will be running sessions of Dungeons & Dragons! This is a great way to get to know your fellow tour participants and have bragging rights on how many Orcs you were able to dispatch….

Still want more? After many requests Geek Nation Tours will include a meal a night and have super cool special guests and exclusive gaming every single night we are at Gen Con! Take a look at what we have planned for you below and be sure you join us for “The Best Four Days of Gaming”
