Indie Games on Demand handout for Gen Con 2019As always we’ll be running games starting at 10am on Thursday and ending at 2pm on Sunday. For full details about the Gen Con show runs, see gamesondemand.github.io.

If you plan to join us at the show, or if you’re just a fan of Games on Demand and want to help out, we can always use donations to print materials and support our volunteers. You can send your contributions to paypal.me/GamesonDemand.

If you’d like to know what games we’ll be offering, feel free to check out our tabletop and larp menus. As in previous years, these PDF files are pretty large as they were made for printing, so be warned.

Calling on GenCon 2019

UPDATE: We’re pleased to be able to say that Gen Con has released an updated statement on their stance on abuse and harassment. Thank you to Peter and everyone on the Gen Con team!

We strongly urge GenCon to provide a stronger statement as quickly as possible that names abusers, and distinctly calls out action that will be taken against them so attendees feel like concerns and incidents are taken seriously and dealt with appropriately.
