| | GameSpy: GenCon 2005 |
 | | The name "GenCon" has been synonymous with gaming for over 35 years, ever since a group of tabletop wargaming fanatics starting meeting in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, for a couple of days of pushing metal miniatures and rolling unusually shaped dice. |
 | | Today, safely ensconced in its new home in the Indianapolis Convention Center, this year's GenCon is bigger than ever, with capacity crowds converging on the American Midwest for four days of LARPing, filking, costume competitions, and the brutal slaughter of thousands of imaginary monsters. |
 | | As a result, GenCon has been growing in importance for the last several years as a venue to get its wares in front of the people most likely to get excited and spread the word about the latest CRPGs and MMOs. |
