I've not been to Gen Con for several years now, though when last I looked to attend I saw that they caved to the woke mob and had a vax and mask mandate to attend.
I'm sure that's dropped now, but I still am burned by it, and am boycotting them for a time. There are other cons that get my $.
Expecting wizards of the coast to not be a libtard cesspool is kinda hilarious to read on this site. The nerds I follow who are into their games paint a pretty clear picture on how much they despise their own player base. Hell they got mad when a guy was pointing out it might not be a good idea to let a pedo run official locals or something years ago lol.
Table top gaming used to be math nerds like Gary Gygax. The kind that didn't give a shit about social justice weenies because they didn't fit in elsewhere.
Once fantasy went mainstream when the Lord of the Rings movie came out, the fantasy fan sub-culture got slowly, like everywhere else, taken over by libtards. However, there are still a lot of players who are not libtards. Most of the subculture in fact.
The giant convention center in downtown Milwaukee was the most convenient, and nicest place in my opinion. The one in Indy is okay, but it was super cheap to get a room to stay at a vacant college dorm room in Milwaukee within walking distance of the con when it was there. You don't really have that option in Indy, which is partially why I've only gone twice since they moved.

Thanks for the offer though!
I also skipped the last 3 years due to the mandates, when my kind clearly was unwelcome. I'm hoping this year is a return to greatness.

where are they doing GenCon these days? or does it vary year to year?
Indianapolis, Indiana. Moved from Milwaukee in the early 2000s, and before that Lake Geneva, WI (thus the name Gen Con).
by the time i'd heard about it, '86, it was in Milw. grew up near there but never made it. iirc, they had it at UWParkside one year.
