Gen Con 2008 was, all things considered, a pretty successful con for CGS. One of my hopes was that Hot War would outsell the first Gen Con sales of Cold City (53 copies in 2006). This was achieved, with 60 sales, 21 of which were on the IPR booth, the rest through the Play Collective booth.

Yes, at Gen Con Indy 08, we're back!
The Play Collective returns for its second year, a juggernaut of gaming goodness, enthusiasm and energy! And this time, we've brought a friend...
This year the Play Collective and the bold adventure that is the Ashcan Front have joined forces to grow our space together. You'll be able to browse the fine works on display in our half of the booth, then simply stroll a few feet to finger through the assembled ashcans offered by the Front.
