"Unboxing Stations" have been set up in a couple of locations for gamers to be able to recycle unwanted packaging.

Last year's 50th anniversary was a sell-out, but Gen Con President David Hoppe says the conference continues to grow this year.

Child Advocates in Marion County is this year's Gen Con charity partner and hopes to spread awareness about the need for CASA volunteers.

Gen Con is one of the largest U.S. gamers conventions, with more than 200,000 tickets sold for the multi-day event each year.
