GenCon Pictures! (Part 1)
So, the first day is over, and a new day has begun... but something is different... we now have proof of what the trenches are truly like. Read on, but be careful -- some of the following content might not be suitable for small children.
First Things first... the booth chicks. Yes -- the booth chicks. I must say, the turn-out isn't incredible in this department, but... well, see what you think for yourselves.
And now, from our star photographer and official gaming buddy, Dennis Toprac - the Girls of GenCon, and their ammazing pearls of wisdom!
