So how are people transporting games during the con? Just carry them around all day in a backpack or is there somewhere you can drop things off that will be there when you return? Sorry, first time to go to Gencon and not exactly sure how far our hotel will be from the con. Dungeon Lords is another game I'd like to play, but the box is pretty huge.

I only bring games I can easily package in a gallon freezer bag and fits into a messenger bag.

Heyo GenGoons, this will be my 4th GenCon, but I had a lot of fun reading the thread last year and would like to try the nerd trivia at Colts Grill. Will there be some way of identifying which group is the goon group? I doubt 'find the table that looks like it's full of goons' is going to be a viable option at a gaming convention. I would also be down to play some Splotter games (I have played Indonesia, Antiquity and Greed Inc) or Die Macher. I love the NSDM and am in the Doomsday game (Saturday at midnight). Unfortunately I am super cheap and only have a flip-phone, is there any non-app way to coordinate gaming activities? I am pumped for the Con, hope to meet some of you there.

What up, fellow angry burnt-out Netrunner player! I'm purposely not bringing Netrunner decks as a statement to someone. We can get together and rant in front of the newbies to show them what they are in for a couple hundred games later.

I'll have LotR and Conquest decks though.

Alright, for anybody who wants to play Argent, I'm going to be free from 5pm onward Friday, and all day Saturday except 4-6pm.

4 players max, no AP dudes, and if you really want to play try to peruse the manual beforehand.

Hey fellow goonbros! If you aren't in the groupme, I have room in my hotel if you were surfing someones floor. Sofa bed!Regular showers are required! Own transportation is a plus: its at the Clarion Inn and Suites Northwest of you want to map it out. Pretty sure the shuttle hits there or nearby if transportation would be an issue for you.

It is surprisingly easy to find the Goon group even so, at least assuming the ongoing trend holds and we are the largest group in the bar (about 14-20 at any point, I think?). I think we also do a pretty good job of asking anyone wandering around scrutinizing the groups as though "knowing yet not knowing" as to who we are.

Plus if my past behavior is any indication I will be standing and talking to different parts of the table rather than sitting and eating, so look for a Viking Cherub(tm) and you will have found us.

Got two other last minute additions, for the auction and not the store. Bear in mind I'm pricing more aggressively than I did last year, since I'm not just trying to dump trash. Which, thankfully, turned out to everybody else's treasure last year, but I'm nervous with stuff like the CCGs which are impossible to objectively price. Either they go for nearly nothing or crazy dollars, and not much inbetween.

But I added:

Blue Planet Bundle (player's guide, moderator's guide)
Munchkin d20 Complete Bundle

Hello, i would like to do games with goons like netrunner as my nights are pretty much free, but I don't have a smartphone for this groupme thinger. As I'm staying in the JW, hopefully I can catch what's going on with the internet in the lobby/bar because I'm not paying to have internet in the room.

I have a bunch of netrunner expansions I bought ages ago, but I have only played, like, 4 total games since it came out. I love the setting and such and the mechanics, but never got around to actually playing more than a few times on OCTGN.

I just realized that I have a large backpack that's much too big to carry around in a crowded area and a small bag that is only big enough to hold my tablet and various small items. Any recommendations for a good convention bag? Big enough to hold some brought or bought games, but not massive? I do have some of those cloth bags with strings for carrying swag around, but they're pretty small.
