	Crack for gaming addicts.:-)

	Seriously, it's the biggest gaming convention in the universe, held every
August in lovely Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Every game company worthy of the
name is there, selling their latest and hottest wares--a lot of them
available for the first time anywhere.
	There are demos of games new and old, chances to meet their creators, as
well as other "genre celebrities", such as Steve Long's good friend Jeri
Ryan.;-)
	Plus, there are things that you only see at GenCon--like the time PEG had
a live execution at their booth. (Hey, anything to move those splatbooks!:-) )

	Best of all for PEG fans, there's the annual PEG Listserver Dinner, where
you can hang with all the too-cool-for-school folk who post on the various
lists. This includes the PEG Creatives: Shane, Hopler, Goff, Hal Mangold,
Steve Long, and yes, even me.

	Much as Muslim must go to Mecca, you owe yourself at least one pilgrimage
to GenCon if you're a gamer.
