Ok, this is my 39th year without a miss, including the online Covid year. Just curious.
Not bragging about # attended, but this is more to statethat in all these years my enthusiasm
to go has rarely waned. Especially now that we're so close. :-)
I almost made it work that I can just look at the last two digits of the year to see how many I have attended, but I did miss one for that whole "having a baby during the convention" thing so this will be 22 for me, haha. 1997 was my first time, and it really puts into perspective how much less bold I was as a late teenager that it took me 5 years to come back, considering this is my favorite time of the year!
Been going every year since 2008.
This year will be my 21st (in person). It just keeps getting better and better.
With the exception of the Covid 2021 year, every year since 2006. So 15.
This will be my 1st one!
Missed the Fall one because of sickness, but that is the only one since 2014.
Every year since 1996, so this will be my 28th year.
This year will be my thirteenth.
Which would sound ominous to some people. but I was born on the 13th of a month, so it doesn't scare me. Us thirteen babies are immune to that superstition (lol)
First in 1994
This will be my 21st (22nd if I can count one in SoCal)
This will be #31
3 in the 80's when it was at the University of Wisconsin and every one at Indy.
My first Gen Con was 1992. Since then, I've only missed one (2020).
Through 2022, 25. And this year will make 26!
This year will be 28 in a row for me, and 20 for the wife and kids.
This'll be my fourth in-person Gen Con since 2018, I couldn't make 2021 as our borders were closed
It's not the quantity: it's the quality of GenCons. For example:
2010: Worked the WOTC booth.
2012: Missed because I had a summer class that would fail me if I missed two classes.
2013: Brought nephew to GenCon.
2014: Brought nephew and niece to GenCon. Wow, kids are expensive!
2019: Demoed a game in the Playtest First Exposure Hall.
2020: Run 32 hours of online games.
There's been other years but these are the ones that stick out the most. I've lost count of GenCons and can't find all of the badges in my trade binder.
