GenCon 2021 – We’re Not Going To Be There

Posted on September 13, 2021 in Conventions and Events, News

Gosh, we’d love to be at GenCon, breathing in and out and all over everyone, shaking hands, sharing swigs from bottles and generally engaging in the sort of behaviour that was perfectly fine before this wretched Coronavirus swept across the world and pinned us indoors for a good year and a half now – but unfortunately, given the global pandemic that we’re sure you don’t us to tell you about, we can’t legally travel into the United States. Seeing as GenCon is taking place in the United States, that really puts paid to our plans to shuffle over there and flog a metric tonne of books.

So: we’re not going to be there. Hopefully next year. In the meantime, please enjoy the following GenCon-themed benefits:

FREE SHIPPING

If you use the code GENCON2021 at checkout during the GenCon weekend, you’ll get free shipping on whatever you buy. It’s just like you’re shoving it directly in your bag after buying it off our stall except a) a postal worker will bring it to you and b) you don’t have to carry it around all day, so swings and roundabouts.

ENAMEL PINS

Pins! Enamel pins! We’ve got ’em, and you could have ’em too, after a few brief clicks and some money changing hands. On offer this year:

If you’ve always liked trains but wished that they were all haunted and that you could wear them as a sort of illegal power armour, you’ll love the Vermissian Knights. These ignoble paladins slash, kick and explode their way through the thrice-damned mass transit network of the Vermissian for fun and profit – and now you can wear their official logo wherever you like:

Bees! Everyone loves bees. If you love bees a bit too much then you could consider joining the Deep Apiarists, a sect of radical wizards who replace their fallible organs with waxy simulacra built, maintained and inhabited by strange glyph-marked bees. If you love bees a normal amount you can just buy the pin instead:

“Why would you sell an enamel pin of a perfectly normal-looking thief?” you ask – well, you’ve been fooled, because this is no ordinary thief. This is a bear in a cunning disguise. Leaping straight from the pages of Honey Heist, this charming little guy is ready to steal some honey – and your heart too:

HEARTSBLOOD EDITIONS

Heart: The City Beneath was nominated for eight (8) Ennie Awards, which is lovely. You’re free (indeed, encouraged) to purchase a regular edition of the book, or even a special edition (which comes cloth-and-faux-leather-bound and foil-printed) but – if you’re feeling especially fancy – we’re making a few of our leather-bound, hand-made, stamped-into-place-by-an-artisan Heartsblood Editions available. You can learn more about what’s gone into their production (and inhale sharply through your teeth when you see how expensive they are) here.
