Hobocon was filmed at Gencon in 2008 and premiered the following year at Gencon 2009. It was the first documentary filmed at Gencon, the number on gaming convention on the planet.
Join three friends – Benny (Rob Couch), Doctor Boxcar (Jason Slingerland) and The Pixie (Wilhelm Rumpf) – as they live through the best worst idea of all time: A weekend at Gencon with no food, no money and nowhere to sleep. These brave fools decided to be hobos at the biggest gaming convention in the world. They hoped to survive three days through the kindness and compassion of their fellow gamers. But will they make it?
