Logistically, I prefer Origins - it's closer, less crowded, and generally easier to book (though event registration always finds a new way to glitch out, every year). The applications always grind and groan under the load, and it can be stressful. However, as mentioned, things sell out super-quickly, and you have to really be on the ball for hotel and event registration. I've checked out shows from The Gamers, Hello from the Magic Tavern, and more. There's just that much stuff there.īeyond games, there's so much to do.
It's honestly overwhelming and exhausting, and should be divided into two different trips.
The dealers room is worth seeing, because there's nothing else like it. Want to work through a bunch of Adventurers League content? Want to check out the indies? Catch a new or old game run by the person that created it? Want to just wander around and demo games? Check out the cosplay or participate in the parade? You can do all of that as you see fit.
Having such a massive wealth of gaming options means you can customize your experience as much as you want. It's still way more crowded than I would feel comfortable with.īut prior (and presumably, at some point after), I would say that it was worth doing at least once, depending on what your costs and logistics for getting there are, unless you are particularly crowd-averse. Right now, I don't think I could countenance going to Gen Con - they're trying to de-densify it, but only to a point.
