Shame on that other table! I am full of unimportant information like that... Maybe I'll see about attending and dragging my non-goon friends along.

It's a shame I will be joining friends for a group dinner that evening. I have just gone through my schedule and holy hell I have no idea what's going on. I also added myself to the spreadsheet.

SciFunk posted:Agricola is one of my favorite games, everyone who hasn't played it yet should volunteer to try it out with you. Forget Agricola, it's all sad and boring. Caverna is where it's at. It's basically Agricola, but with dwarves and less depressing poverty.

Goons! Any last minute ideas for panels and talks to attend and the like? I'm trying to take in a few more panels about writing this year. For my own recommendation I recommend the panel about historical food, the gent who runs it is really laid back and really knows his stuff.

I will be canceling a ticket for Worldbuilding: Religion and Mythology on Saturday morning, and although it sounds fantastic, I really want to play some Fate Core over the con, and that's my best opportunity it seems.

THE GOON BEER TOUR AND GENERAL INDY BEER INFO

On the doc. Working the Mayfair booth during ExHall hours, but free for boardgaming most evenings.Trynant posted:Some stuff I'd like to bring but really will want an interest check before I start lugging them around: I am so in for some COIN. I've only played Cuba Libre, and Andean Abyss has been crying out from my shelf. Also, I'd love to learn High Frontier, so I can actually teach my copy to my local group.

That is correct! You have discovered my sinister plot to strand goons one block north of the Con! Or I'm just an idiot. Either way, let's all meet at CAPITOL AND MARYLAND!

We just made the panel members public: Director, Anthony Savini; Producer, Cecily Tyler; Co-Producer, Matt Shoemaker; Executive Producer and author, Jon Peterson; and writer, Tim Kask. If you are only interested in writing fantasy it might not be much use to you but writing and laying out a narrative for history (text or film) is certainly a complex thing.

I'd really like to get the new Doomtown (Deadlands) game, but I didn't realize you needed to preorder and may have already missed out. I'll be picking up Argent and 13 True Ways, but both of those are just Kickstarter pickups. Uh... I'll be glad to pick up the 13th Age Bestiary, I suppose? Hard to say what's finally going to hit there or not.

You can still get Premium editions first come first serve which means if you aren't lined up at the doors on Thursday morning you probably won't get one. Even then, by the time the media people and VIGS are done who knows how many copies will be left.

Even then, by the time the media people and VIGS are done who knows how many copies will be left. They're supposed to have standard editions for purchase there as well. From what I understand, their plan is to bring the usual how ever many for sale and then the preorders + tournament copies on top of that amount. I think they've also said they're only allowing one per customer if you buy at the booth (who knows how the hell they're going to track it), so maybe there's a chance even if you're not lined up when it opens. I wouldn't hold your breath for a premium copy though.

Anyone know if there's any scuttlebutt about Shadowrun Crossfire being on sale there? I want to get my hands on it if it exists but don't feel like waiting in a line for no real reason. I also want to try and demo the new Flying Frog game because I like their games but $100 is steep to just buy randomly.

What was the name? I left work stoked to be gone for a week, said my goodbyes to folks and had packaged everything up for people to take care of next week, set my outlook out of office messages, etc. Then had to drive back because I realized my badge was still stuck to my cube wall  Flying out to the midwest tomorrow to see friends and so fuckin' stoked to GenCon it up!

Sarx posted:I forgot about that trivia. We will have to hit that up again since I can't imagine Trade Day being that exciting late into the evening. Trade day is dead after lunch. It's sad, really, I think a lot of the attendees for it use it to get a badge free from work or justify the vacation or something because most of the trade day panels have been lightly populated after lunch. When I do a panel there I definitely try to get slotted in the morning because of it. I wouldn't bother going to the trade day evening demos unless you are curious and want to just check it out for five minutes. The businesses there in the past clearly only care if you are a retailer and they want you to stock their game and despite promises of freebies I haven't seen anything more than a game card given out in the past.

Nice, didn't see that there was a goon thread until now. First time going to GenCon for me so no idea what to expect (expect long lines, maybe?) Not really doing any scheduled events, up for pretty much anything. Reading through the thread, most of the games that folks have mentioned are ones I'm up for playing or learning (Tash Kalar, the COIN games, Splotter games, any of the FFG LCGs, Battlecon). I could bring along an MTG Peasant Cube if there are any MTG players around. Looking to do some Netrunner drafting as well.

Would anyone play or learn Yomi if I brought it? It's pretty portable, but I'd still rather know if there's interest since car space will be limited. Also I'll totally play anyone at Project M or Melee who wants to get bopped.

Just thought I would pop in and say hi - joined the groupme, and will put myself in the google doc as soon as I'm not on my phone. Second time going to GenCon, and I'm local to Indy as well. Most of my days have events from noon on, but I will have downtime at some point, I'm sure.
