Reynold posted:I was very annoyed with how they were handling lines to things like FFG and Forge World today. I was right at the exhibit hall entrance when the doors opened, and in the 45 seconds it took for me to walk over to FFG's booth and get in line, some hysterical FFG employee started shouting "WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING, THE LINE IS OVER BY THE WALL!" which was like a million people deep at that point. gently caress that. Also, Forge World didn't bring any of their event only models to this event. I got mine anyhow since I reserved them along with a bunch of other stuff, even though I was emailed back saying they couldn't guarantee they'd have any for me. They had no display and didn't bring much stuff this time, kind of a letdown. I'm not going to bother heading in early Thursday morning next year. They need to make that line go out the hall because I couldn't even get to other booths because of it. loving nuisance. They also sold completely out of their new product for the whole weekend, so zero point in waiting after the first hour.

Gutter Owl posted:FINAL ATTACK! open play again tomorrow. I'm looking at 6 or 7PM, but tomorrow is probably my most flexible workday. I'm intrigued, so sure. I'm free after 4, but if we're in the dinnering time, a bit later would be better, so 7, maybe 8?

I was hoping to snag an early release of Armada stuff, but as I understand it wasn't available anyhow, so no huge loss for me, but it was still a pain.

NSDM was kinda fun for the first hour or two. It's a bit of a drag now. Too many people too much insanity.

If you have PMed me about King of New York, follow up on that unless you are the one goon I have already arranged to meet. I have three copies left and I am a first come, first served human powered game delivery service. You know who you are. Snagged Code Words and air brush paint for a goddamn bargain. Yay for nerdvana!

Did my first ever True Dungeon(s) tonight. It was fun! Doing both back-to-back for 4 1/2 hours was too much though. One per day is saner. Also, the group you get makes a huge difference. First game was all newbs, we completed the puzzle track but it was kinda confusing and chaotic. Second game was a mix of newbs and veterans, one of whom busted out a huge token collection and buffed everyone up. It was still fairly chaotic but we completed it too and had more fun.pakman posted:Can anyone suggest a local coffee joint that isn't Starbucks that's decent? Also have a hankerin' for either ice cream or frozen yogurt. Bee Coffee Roasters is across the street from ICC (by the food trucks), really good, open 24 hours through the con, and doing a "buy 4 coffees during GenCon, get a d6" promo.

Could you expand on the true dungeon a bit? I was considering it, but $52 seems a little steep. Also my friend and I had to walk away from that MtG tournament, because it was 1 in the morning and it had been a long day. Plan is to demo a bunch of games on the floor tomorrow. Then try to find some of the Sentinels of the multiverse expansions.

Final attack trip report: we kick the ever loving poo poo out of the driller Robo beast. Never took an attack except in round eight (which trigger both primed evolutions), but had enough will to absorb 10 downed systems penalty with a couple to spare and about 10 leftover energy . Difficulty six.
