While At Gen Con 50, I had the chance to experience Hot Box Pizza, the makers of the Official Gen Con Pizza, and I have to let you know about it. When I first decided to try their pizza, I was in my hotel room and failed because I didn’t realize the pizza was only offered at the downtown location and on Georgia Street. So the next day I tried to get to the downtown location, but I just didn’t have enough time between interviews. On day three, I decided I would grab it on Georgia Street amidst the hustle and bustle of the food trucks.

Harry & Izzy’s Restaurant Review – Gen Con 50

I had the pleasure of sitting down for lunch at Harry and Izzy’s for lunch the first day of Gen Con 50.  This wasn’t my first visit, my prior visit was in 2010 I believe, and is one of my favorite dining experiences ever. The time I spent there with my wife, Lisa, has made me want to return ever since. Sadly, I ate alone on this adventure.

It was no surprise that I was greeted cheerfully and quickly.  The hostess sat me in the back, away from the street. It was nice and could easily have been romantic if it had been a date. The server greeted me promptly, but she seemed a little nervous – it turned out I was her first customer out of training. She was a blast, but asked to keep her name out of the review. She took care of my order, just as expected, and then we had a great conversation about Gen Con before my meal came.

3c6c05f4b9b113d27bdc6e85eb758f36_originalThis one is a little bit unusual, the game will not be at Gen Con for sale. What! Whoa! Let’s back up. Dropfleet  Commander was kickstarted by Hawk Wargames, the makers of Dropzone Commander, and it was a huge success. Of course it was, Dropzone Commander has a great community, one of the best, plus Hawk Wargames doesn’t seem to make mistakes.  I mean they put out great models, have good rules and they love their community even if they did make mistakes major mistakes they’d be forgiven. With that kind of support they shouldn’t have been surprised by the success – they were.

A cloud of dust rose over the land as they rushed to Indianapolis for great games and companionship.
