rjderouin posted:Reminding people because this thread has a lot more traffic since last time I posted. If you come to the Japanime Games booth I will give you cool stuff as long as you identify as a goon. My name is Robert and I will be wearing an actual Japanime collared/bowling style shirt rather than a black Japanime T-Shirt. Just let me know you are a goon. These are the games we carry (https://www.japanimegames.com), if any of them are even passingly interesting to you come on by. I will for sure be stopping by to take a long, hard  look at your wares. Also, you don't have PMs which sucks, so would you be up for talking about a sponsorship for some events at GenCon? What's the best contact for that?

This will be my second year pretend-attending. Prettending? I'm running 31 hours of PFS so it doesn't really count as actually going to the convention, I guess.

Your actual event tickets include the location as well. Though if you're not familiar with which building is which and where the rooms are, it might be helpful to print out a map. I think there's one in the program book but last year the books were disappearing faster than they could restock them. There's also map kiosks and helpful staff around most of the time. As for buying stuff there, Pelgrane Press has done 4 for 3 deals in the past. I don't know if they'll be doing it this year. Otherwise, yeah, most things are MSRP. The dealer room is more a chance to grab the new hotness or grab a copy of a game that you just enjoyed than the most cost-effective way to get things - unless, as mentioned, you'd like to get something signed.

Yeah, I was just being a total OCD freak and filling out my Google Calendar with locations. Kinda related: are there open painting areas where you can just go and learn how to paint minis? All the events for that are full and I'd love some expert help. Edit: I think I'm looking for Paint + Take! Peas and Rice fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Jul 22, 2015 |

Trynant posted:I posted this more or less on the google doc, but if any of the board gaming goons want to play any of the longer games, I have a few in mind that I could bring. My packing space is limited so knowing if people want to try something before the Monday/Tuesday of would save me some grief. My collection is here. Count me in. I plan on meeting up with you for a game or two, nice collection! Indonesia is the main Splotter I have yet to play so I'd love to try that one. I'm happy to join in for R&B or Antiquity as well. Napoleons Triumph is another I've never had the opportunity to try, if you have any interest. Although your rating of Romolo y Remo at an 8 has me a bit worried. After 2 games I'm done with that one and will likely never play it again.

Seems like Hangouts would work just as well. Unless you can use it to join whole groups without adding all of the contacts. Just don't want to get another battery draining app if I can avoid it.

OtspIII posted:Due to some money issues I'm running a bit late on all of this, but I just bought all my plane/hotel/con tickets and am officially coming! I can't wait to bankrupt myself at the auction! Also, to see all the goonfriends I made at the con last time I came (2 years ago). ALL MONEY AT AUCTION SPEND ALL GOOD Indolent Bastard posted:How does the Gencon store and auction each work? (Never been to Gencon before). Lawen posted:Go here to download the app for your iOS/Android/Windows Phone. The Auction was already sort of explained and Alien Rope Burn linked the Auction page. Usually the weekend before is the last weekend to pre-register your items, saving both money and time, so that is a good idea. You have to sell stuff for at least $2? I believe these days to make any money, which is a little sad given how often things used to go on sale for $1 (though that still happens, extra-funny when someone actually buys it for $1--that means the seller brought an item to Gen-Con in order to give the Auction 75 cents to take it off their hands). If anyone wants a better write-up of the Auction...actually I probably already gave one somewhere else in the thread.

Peas and Rice posted:Similar question: I'm looking for some very specific older, OOP modules. Is there a list of what's in the auction and when it goes on sale, or is it more of a "come and see what you get" scenario?  wait hold on There we go. And well, I will be damned. They really DID used to do stuff on Sunday. Our memories we assumed were created by an inability to pay attention were driven by truth!!! The schedule is largely the same in the mornings and evenings, at least Thursday-Saturday, other than that Charity is now always the last thing Saturday. And T.O.V.A. has not been earlier than dinnertime for years. LuiCypher posted:Isn't it called the 3-2-1 rule?

What's the best way to sell games at the Con? I'll be there on Saturday and I'm hoping to get rid of Small World (+Cursed, Be Not Afraid, and Grand Dames expacs), Ticket to Ride and Tichu for some cash to spend on new releases. If anyone wants dibs shoot me a PM.

You can register with the auction online until the 26th. Fees are steeper if you register on-site. Otherwise, if you can arrange for a goon to buy your stuff, that's another possibility. If you're not making it Sunday, I believe you can have the check from the auction mailed to you. Edit: Come to think, an issue with the auction is that if you're only on Saturday, I don't know if you could put it on the block. It could go in the store, but bear in mind Saturday is the "cheap day" and you'd have buyers not expecting to pay a lot. YMMV.

Speaking of games to trade. I'd be willing to trade X Com or King of Tokyo + Powerup expansion. Turns out I really don't like press your luck dice games. I've only played X Com once. Should probably give it another chance, but I'd be willing to just trade it off if anyone wanted it.

Yeah, you bring the item and attach the printed tag and then pay for it on-site when you check your items in. Oh, and make sure you have your badge before you check your items in.

I finally found the link to all of the convention maps (here), so it's as good a time as any to remind people attending events that  The Marriott and the JW Marriott are two completely different buildingsJW Marriott = Big Blue Curved Glass Brick Marriott = Generic Looking Hotel Don't be a chump like Two Years Ago Haystack and get lost in the wrong building.
