GenCan't

The Unconventional UnConvention.

[GenCan't @GenCant]

#GenCant is an UnConvention (or virtual convention) designed to bring some gaming fun & excitement to those who can't attend Gen Con. We give away games (generously donated by sponsors), hold cool contests, play games, and more.

We popped back from a hiatus year before, and we can do it again. It will very likely not be centered here though. We have a BGG guild that I largely only used for the photo contests. If you leave here - that's where to check GenCant news for now.

Hi Folks.
I will not be hosting/coordinating GenCant this year. I'm sorry. It's time consuming and expensive and I just couldn't pull it off on my own this year. And... to be frank... it's largely Twitter oriented and this platform has lost a lot of the community value it had.

[GenCan't @GenCant]

I'd love to keep GenCant going. I've poured hundreds of hours and dollars into it and I'm so proud of the fun and community we fostered over the years. Games like Tussie Mussie and Welcome to Dino World started here, ya know! And I think virtual events still have tons of value.

@425suzanne @RestorationGame @GenCant my raffle prize arrived today! So excited

[Devinitely Not Devin @ATheChariot1]

This little guy came in from the cold late last week, & now eagerly awaits opening.

Big shout out to @LederGames for generously supporting @GenCant & shipping games around the world to those who won the raffle. I cannot express how excited I was when FedEx stopped at my door.

I won Ahoy in the #GenCantRaffle. Many thanks @LederGames @GenCant #GenCant

@ImOblivion not at all. we want this to be correct too! i've alerted the donors and am going through everything with a fine tooth comb. I think when a spreadsheet was sorted a few cells shifted. the good thing is it's just a misalignment of email/address - very fixable.

[GenCan't @GenCant]

Wrapped up the raffle today. Apologies for the delay (it’s just one person juggling all the sorting and comms) but prizes will start shipping soon! I know you’re all eager and I’m grateful for your grace on the time it took this year to get it sorted.

[GenCan't @GenCant]

@ImOblivion did you email me about this? (I'm looking into it!)

[GenCan't @GenCant]

@robwinton @ImOblivion Thanks for your patience! We’re wrapping up the straggling draw this weekend. (I also was ill for a week and then had houseguests that ate up some extra time.)

[GenCan't @GenCant]

Pulling new winners today (for the prizes that are unclaimed by the original winner.) Happens every year. Make sure to sign up using an email you check!

[GenCan't @GenCant]

We’re wrapping up the straggling draw (we always have folks who don’t respond and have to redraw for prizes) and will get prize lists to donors this weekend. Thanks for your patience everyone! This always takes longer than I’d like but things are moving.

[GenCan't @GenCant]

Raffle winners are being emailed! We are using a new system so 1) we have one more email batch going tomorrow and 2) we can see that folks have received the email but haven't opened it!

email could come from gencant2014 gmail or suzanne at gencant email. check your spam.

[GenCan't @GenCant]

We had so much fun with the entries this year - we had to highlight a few runners up as well. @HaiKujo @Madbonna and @Boardgamefeast will get a GenCant prize for their fun and creative entries!

[GenCan't @GenCant]

Congrats @hornist_34 for taking the winning #GenCantPic this year!

Sorry for the delay folks. A helper who was going to parse the raffle data (regions for shipping etc) had to bail so we're doing it manually! So good news is - you still have a chance to win. Bad news is - we're a bit delayed.

[Dan Thurot @DanThurot]
