I'm pretty sure you can still sign up for events, but it will be Will Call only.

This.

I forgot to order generic tickets, so I did it last night. I figure the Will Call window is shorter than the cash one.

I think its too late to sign up for things now. I mean, you can still do it when you are at Gen Con but since they started printing and shipping badges and tickets I don't think you add more to your account at this point till you're on site.

oh you can totally keep grabbing things off the event finder until practically the show starts. You just have to wait in the will-call line to get the tickets in a separate packet from your badge and earlier purchases. I know because I signed up for some things they put up after they mailed the badges.

You can still sign up! I found out the head writer of the secret world will be at gencon so I signed up a few seminars he is doing.

Oh, and while I'm here, I bought out a Chaosium Call of Cthulhu game thinking my regular group would go with me, but mistakes were made and everyone except me is busy at that time. So before I refund it, anyone want in?

It is Friday 5pm-7pm. 5 seats available. No experience necessary (I've never played it, I just heard it was good).

https://www.gencon.com/events/101363

edit: current list is:
1. saint
2. Fellis (maybe)
3. Goldmansack
4. Ego Trip

Also, Fordan points out that this is right before the goon TD run that starts at 7:13. I think there is probably time to do both if you leave right at 7 but TD is not real tolerant of latecomers.

I could be down for this. I'm free at this time and have a passing familiarity with CoC. (Also posting in the GroupMe)

Moles were you still planning on running a goon-only mad max gamma world?

I've gotten so many messages about this, but yeah, gently caress it, I can do that.

It'll have to be either late on Thursday or late on Saturday. Its a 3 hour~ game. Lets say Saturday at 10PM start. If you're interested, PM me or post in here, first 5(ish) people.

edit: if you promise to buy me food i'll let you in the group regardless of how many people are already signed up. i am easily bribable.

You can get into the game library/pick up and play room with generics. I kinda doubt capacity is much of an issue.

This isn't exactly 100% true. Capacity is actually an issue around peak times in the early evening until around 9-10pm. During that period, they only let people in who have tickets specifically for the game library and they don't accept generics.

saint gerald posted:

Short version is there's shitloads of space all over town for games to break out in spontaneous fashion and personally I would not bother with the game library.

But this is pretty much 100% true. I think the games library is actually a great idea if you're roving around with a medium-sized band of people who have enough players to play just about any game optimally without needing extra people to fill in. I think it's a great idea if you want to play something completely random that you might not find in the dealer's hall because it's old. From experience though, I don't think it's a great option for 1-3 people - you don't have enough people to be able to play most games by yourself and you'll need pubbies to fill in. These people can vary wildly in terms of quality.

In other words, we have a GroupMe and there's plenty of space all throughout the building/in rooms. You probably don't need to pay the price to go into the games library when you can pretty much hit up random goons to get a game or two in.

You're basically not. It's cool, though.

I still remember the round of One-Night Resistance we played where I was a spy and got to look at someone else's ability. I saw you were an investigator and were seated next to me, so I knew I was hosed right out of the gate. Didn't even have to wait for the round to start.

Along these lines, I'll probably bring Rebellion (the bigger, modular version of Coup), maybe Stockpile (the game I bought last year about insider trading), and I'm hoping I'll be able to pick up a copy of Ponzi Scheme at the con. (I don't have particular taste in games or anything...)

My wife hates wasted space with games. So she tends to repack games that use a bigger box than is needed. When we got the Carcassone Big Box she got it down to a tiny wooden box and hand painted the scoring path on the top of the box.

Are there any RPG bloggers or podcasters here going to Gen Con? I've been talking to Jeff Barber, designer of Blue Planet, and he recently decided to come to Gen Con to playtest and promote his upcoming RPG, Upwind. If you want contact info for Jeff so you can demo the game and/or interview him, PM me for the details.

So, for somebody having to manage this all at the last minute (or, well, month), I thought I'd drop a line and see if anybody has any spare room. Camoseven and Len can vouch for me being decent and clean and not overtly goony (hopefully, just goony enough), I can sleep on the floor if necessary, and I'd be willing to pay whatever my share would be of any hotel fees up front.

If anybody can help out, I'd really appreciate it. Just let me know as soon as possible so I can start prep once I have certainty, been dealing with HR dragging their feet on my request until I got somebody to cover for me myself recently.
