Funnybooks’ Wayne is our man-on-the-floor at this year’s GenCon currently rolling like exploding dice in Indianapolis. In the first of his GenCon Journals, he describes his experience as a first time GenCon attendee, he dives into True Dungeon, and even captures a special message from The Podge Cast’s Luke Meyer.
