Gen Con 2026 Postgame Report!
Gen Con is in the books, and Chris and Tim are breaking down the biggest news, announcements, and games coming out of another record-breaking year in Indianapolis. More than 74,000 gamers showed up and brought rain, leaking roofs, tornado warnings, and plenty of tabletop chaos with them.
We cover the growing presence of massive IPs like Dungeons & Dragons, World of Warcraft, Star Wars, Stormlight Archive, and Dungeon Crawler Carl before diving into the games that caught our attention, including Entropy, Gruntz, Drillers, Kokeshi, Layers, Three Witches, Thunder Road: Ignition, The Lord of the Rings: The King’s Gambit, and more.
Then it’s Roll for Review, with Tim hitting the table with Moon Colony Bloodbath, Finspan, and more.
The crowds were bigger, the announcements were louder, and somehow the cardboard survived. It’s our Gen Con 2026 Postgame Report!
