Show Map - WGPR 12 - Gen Con 2008

This is the August edition of my “all-music” show. This time we’re listening to the acts that were performing (And in a couple cases not) at Gen Con Indy 2008.

Keep in mind that my bit-rate is not really music quality, so if you enjoy the songs you might want to visit the artist’s website for a better copy of it. Or better yet buy the CD that the song is on so you can listen to all the other cool music on it. All the songs in this episode are available as MP3 downloads or streaming on the various artist’s websites. So honestly, go check them out.

This is one of the panels from Gen Con Trade Day, Wed. Aug. 13, 2008, on the topic of the titlewave of boardgames currently being released.

I’m sorry for the audio quality, but this is as good as I could get it in post-production. The acustics of the room and my little digital recorder conspired against me on this one. There’s some good content here if you can stand it long enough to get to it.

The panelists were: Bob Carty - Vice President of Mayfair Games, John Mansfield - Owner of Pendragon Games and Hobbies, Rich Waldbiesser - Owner of Six Feet Under Games and Laura Witten - Co-Owner of Gamestation.
