This past summer, I hosted the Diana Jones Award ceremony and party at Gen Con, just as I’ve done for the past 17 years. We had a wonderful time, even though we were in a new, louder venue, and the winners gave fantastic, heartfelt speeches. This year, though, we did something new at Gen Con for the first time.
The next morning, we had the Diana Jones Award Morning After Report. This launched Gen Con’s brand-new Twitch stream, bringing us live to anyone who cared to watch at the time. This week, Gen Con also posted the video on YouTube for posterity. That means you can now watch it too.
Let me warn you, this was literally the morning after the party, which ran late into the night. Everyone there at the table is running on less than optimal sleep – and the adrenaline that comes with joining more than 60,000 other gamers at our annual geek-fest. Despite that, we managed to pack a lot of conversation and insights into our two hours.
I want to thank the massive number of guests who joined me, including Satine Phoenix, Ruty Rutenberg, Jim McClure, Dom Zook, Shelly Jones, Aaron Trammell, Evan Torner, Nicole Hunsicker, Peter Adkison, and Adrian Swartout. And anyone out there who manages to sit through the whole thing!
