Getting ready for Gen Con

[@crosscutgames]

Yay! It would be great to see you there! I hope you have a terrific time with the big launch of your game! Your message here was terrific - thanks!

[@PamWallsGameDesign]

Thanks so much! And yes please say hi if you see me 👋

[@tommykerbow]

Thanks Pam! Great advice that I will be using. Doing my prototype backpack packing today. Safe travels and see you there!

[@PamWallsGameDesign]

Thanks Tommy! Good luck getting ready (hopefully you won’t leave everything to last minute like me 😅) and I’ll see you there!

Another great video. Safe drive. Looking forward to seeing Gen Con as I've never been and may go in the future. I like to see people's perspective before I go to something this big for the first time.

[@PamWallsGameDesign]

Sure thing, I’ll take you along with me 🙌

Safe travels!

[@PamWallsGameDesign]

Thanks Roberto! Heading to Iowa today 🌽

[@RobertoPanetta81]

Awesome. I fly out tommorow morning from Montréal. Hopefully we can connect in Indy!

[@s.digital_games]

Awesome, have a great time Pam! Also, it may be too late, but a mini portable printer could be a good idea if you need to print something in a pinch like more business cards or whatnot.

[@PamWallsGameDesign]

Thanks Seth! Yes I might need to invest in a portable printer… I need to update and print one of my sell sheets so now I have to find a Staples 😅 or see if gen con has a business center….

35 hours...that's dedication. I got such a horrible no water charlie horse in the lorcana line

[@PamWallsGameDesign]

Yeah it seemed like a good idea but now I have to drive all the way back 😭 Ha at least I love road trips and most of the drive is beautiful.

[@foyoGames]

@@PamWallsGameDesign 19 hours was too much for me. You enjoy, ...about 359 days til next year's.

I hope you have an amazing time, and I'm gonna be running around pitching my games but I hope to run into you by happenstance, if I see you I'll try to say hello. Thanks for all your content.

[@PamWallsGameDesign]

Thanks so much Andrew! Best of luck with your pitches and hope to see you there 🙌

[@PamWallsGameDesign]

Drinking game: take a drink every time I say “gen con” 😂 Also I forgot to say I am posting stories on my drive (currently in Montana) and will post during the convention as well on my Instagram if you want to follow along: instagram.com/pamwallsgamedesign

5 pitch meetings? When I went to gencon I felt lucky to have 1!

[@PamWallsGameDesign]

Last time I went, I had zero! But since then I’ve built up my relationships with publishers and am on several email lists where publishers send out their calendar for designers to book a meeting with them, and then a new publisher reached out to me after they saw one of my tweets about going to Gen Con. So getting pitch meetings gets way easier the more you network/build ongoing relationships with publishers.
