Hilarious & slightly naughty skits from some of the funniest puppets around. This is an adult puppet show, so prepare yourself accordingly.
Description:
Quirky edgy puppet shows from quirky, edgy puppeteers! Puppeteers from around the country are converging on Gen Con for the best 4 days in gaming--and puppetry! But here's the best part: they're saving up just about all of their adult material just for this puppet slam! All of those things that we can't do in front of kids? We're going to do in front of you. (Okay maybe not *all*--but a bit of it!) Be prepared to laugh, to cry, to think, to gasp, to laugh again, to weep, and then laugh some more. You'll see beauty, you'll see talent, you'll see silliness, and you'll see hilarity.

Description:
Valerie Meiss (TinyWonder, Hellblinki) presents a unique musical performance, full of puppetry and stories of life's little tragedies and adventures, here and on the other side of the world: "Our heroine returns from a year of wandering: heart wide open, and guts spilling out. It’s been an incredible year, though: new places, new people, adventures, ghosts, mysteries, invisible cities, soulmates without words, transcendental telephones, and random bouts of laughing and crying with strangers. A collection of original music and puppet vignettes. Presented audibly and visually. Laughter and tears."
Come see some RPG Industry Professionals play a viciously fun D&D 5E session for charity! Not only does your ticket fee go to charity, but the audience gets to help during the game, too!
Description:
The DM, Players, and Audience members alike can each help, with their onsite donations during the game! Their funds can buy special bonuses, re-rolls, and even game shifting moments for the heroic PCs on their road to victory... or perhaps give a special sinister edge to the DM in order to make things a little more difficult for our intrepid heroes.
This is an event where the audience gets to help out the parts of the adventure they want to, and all the funds generated go to charity (through the charity office at GenCon).
