GenCon Oz Cancelled!
Eventions Creative Event Managemant, the people that hold the licence to run the GenCon franchise in Australia, announced today that GenCon Oz would not be running in 2010. This was to be the third year the event ran in Australia, but as of this announcement the Brisbane Convention Centre will be devoid of girls dressed as their favourite manga characters and fat-bearded gentleman with satchels full of dice, come September 23rd. What this means for the future GenCon Oz and the Australian gaming scene in general is unclear.

I was wondering why news had been so lacking in regards to this. I mean they weren’t that forth coming in previous years either but damn it this year I was just going to game and not volunteer.
Thank god for Go Play Brisbane!
Thanks, Ray!
Wait… now I feel the pressure to make GPB as awesome as Gen Con would have been. O_O

AAAARRGG! dammit, I couldn’t go last year or the year before but this year I was going to go all four days. DAMMIT! I suppose with the recession it makes some sense. Still disappointing.
Ray when is “Go play Brisbane”?
P.S Ray is not my friend.
Keep your eyes on this site and The Stockade for a new event!
Fantastic, sounds great!
You missed it Tom it was on this weekend just gone.
DAMMIT!!! Ok please let me know about the next one sir.

Not this time but next time I plan too, it was great fun.
