I assume this is a long shot but would love if someone can find the answer out for me
The Plaid Hat Game Dead of Winter....when are they going to be shipping the next batch of the game out? I know they're accepting preorders after gencon but when the hell will those even be sent out?!?!?
If someone would be down, and if its not against any rules, I will happily paypal someone if they can get and send me a copy of the game from gencon!!

edit: on another note I'm stupidly excited for spoilers for any PP game that will help that forum tomorrow and one of these years
Hopefully within the next 2. I will be attending gencon myself

Day 0:

Flew in from Miami with a buddy from my gaming group. Plane was full of nerds. No rental cars left so I got a town& country which drives like a bus.

Did will-call which only took a few minutes. Got a swag bag (ha no swag inside) right as they started giving them out.

Ate at the Ram. 30 minute wait so we just sat at an empty table outside. It worked, got service.

Went to the beer garden, huge line, went around that to the side entrance - no line, got right in.

Headed to the Marriott thanks to timely twitter intel and got a 1 on 1 demo of the new d&d iPad app. Spotted Ed Greenwood there.

Went to a brewery near the airport, lots of locals, no gencon people, good beer. Passed out shortly after.

I'll definitely go if I'm done with retro dbz + I can find transportation back to my hotel room, which may be as easy as convincing my friends to not go back to the hotel room immediately after the tournament.

I'm our groups medicine chest. I always take Excedrin, tums and anti-diarrhea pills. The one year they made fun of me for the anti-diarrhea medicine and then someones Burger King disagreed with him and he begged to have some of my delicious medicine.

My friends also make fun of me for this, but gently caress them. The last thing I want is explosive diarrhea in a convention center stall.

We have one spare True Dungeon ticket for Flight of the Zephyr at 20:15, and one for Into the Viper's Pit at 22:15 on Friday. Cover the face price and they are yours. We have all 9 of the other slots filled, we bring the same team each year.

Expect a good atmosphere and group dynamic with plenty of laughs. We go in with the aim to have fun first but to make a serious crack at winning. Newbs very welcome.

Super pathetic request from a guy who can't be there:

I would think really highly of anyone who can get some details on the Star Wars Armada demo at the FFG booth.

I'd love to see snapshots of the cheat sheet text they have around the table, and I'd really love it if someone could get a closer look at the three different dice and what symbols they have (and how many of each!).

All so I can do some pathetic theorycrafting about the design of a game that isn't even out yet but I'm already planning to spend too much money on.

I was looking and did not see them demo Armada at all. Just lots of other stuffs. They had a lot of tables and it was very crowded, however. Anybody else get a glimpse that I might have missed?

TeamCovenant put up a video of Armada being demo'd a few hours ago. Lots of good info, but I'm hoping to find out more about some details that they glossed over.

If anyone is looking to get the DnD 5th Player's handbook it's only $35 at the CoolStuffInc booth.

So far all 3 games I was looking are gone- King of New York, Bang! Walking Dead and the Smash Up big geeky box :(. (Technically KoNY is around but only 50 a day and I have Feng Shui in the morn)

Day 1 summary: switched hotel to the omni from an airport hotel. Played an hour of Battletech, still as fun as I remember it. Played 4 hours of 5e d&d (wild mage,) picked up a phb and monster manual. Ran 4 hours of Dungeon World. Got drunk at the Ram.

If only Milliband had eaten a vegan sausage roll instead of a bacon sandwich, we wouldn't be in this mess.
Is there any way for someone not at Gen Con to find out if item X is in the auction? I figure I can persuade a friend to go bid on something for me, but not to hang around all day just in case something that might not be listed comes up.

Nah, though that guy (Dan I think?) is cool, he worked on Battlelords of the 23rd Century. My nametag says Quarex on it, and if ever described by a stranger the word "viking" is nearly always used.

A bunch of old MERP stuff I had got damaged and I'm trying to replace them without spending truly silly amounts of money on it all.

Thanks for offering to go check and hope the funeral goes as well as it can.

Thanks for the well-wishes. As for The Item, if that normally sells for a decent amount it would be in the collectibles section tonight at 8? and if not it would be up in RPGs tomorrow. Saying this to mean if it is there and it is valuable, it would sell before I get back, in all likelihood.

Places like Noble Knight list it for silly money, but it doesn't sell. On Ebay it tends to actually go for $50-60; so I have no idea where it'd get listed in the auction but thanks anyhows either way. I'm just crossing off options before I spend far too much on a book out of love of the maps (and then promptly scan them at 600dpi so I don't have to do it again).

It is most likely going to be in general rpg I think. Collectibles are largely for the rare and old such as 1st ed. Chain mail and brown box OD&D.
