Ok, this isn't a REAL program, but a copy of the events that went on that year at Gen Con taken from a gaming magazine in 1975. I figured with the 30 year anniverary of this Gen Con coming up this summer, everyone would enjoy a peek at the activities that would be going on there 30 years ago. So jump into the Wayback machine, you've got your best 70's outfit on, you just got back from seeing "Jaws" at the local theatre, you're trying to decide if you like this new "disco" music playing on your portable AM radio, or should you buy that new "punk" album by Patti Smith, and you have your three day ticket purchased for all the events (costing you a whopping $3.50!) at Lake Geneva this fine August weekend. You are looking forward to playing some games and maybe meeting this Gary Gygax dude who published that cool new game, Dungeons & Dragons...Let's party!
