Moles, you still planning to do the goon game later? It's a nightmare picking events.

Nemesis Of Moles posted:Hey thats my event, gently caress yeah Which one? Those all look like Board Games or Talks, I must be missing it. I think I remember you saying a few pages ago you were running a Delta Green (?) game but can't find the post. You were a fun GM when I played in your goon DW game a couple years ago and I'd definitely try for a spot in your game (as long as "Never Played Before" is OK). If you run a non-official/goon DW game again I'd try to show up for that too and maybe bring a non-goon friend or two that I've been wanting to introduce to DW. Guessing that'll get organized on GroupMe later?

LLSix posted:My schedule Wed - Sunday so far. Am I doing it right? I think I may have scheduled too much time for eating and sleeping. 2. Have you done this before? People who go to Gen-Con for the first time assuming they need wall-to-wall events usually end up skipping all of them by the third day upon realizing there is too much else going on that they have been entirely missing. 3. Bears? Also Lawen hahaha at your fantastic avatar.

Its the IBM Infernal Bone Machine game. And yeah we'll do extra games through GroupMe, non-goons are totally welcome, but it'll probably be a trainwreck depending on how many people show up

I have never done the Wish List before and obviously the Gen-Con forums are not working since they run on the same server as the Wish List...uh...what happens now that it submitted it? Do hours pass and then I wake up and it is 1984? Edit: Am I supposed to have a number?

O.K. so after a few more minutes it finally was like O.K. GOOD JOB and I discovered I had more overlapping events than I expected. I am more than a little confused that I seem to have gotten tickets to both of the limited-to-15-people-world-famous-amazing events (Frank Mentzer tour, Jon Peterson tour) but so it goes. Yes Nesbit37 I WILL BE AT YOUR PANEL WOOOoOoOoO Edit: How do I know what order I was in? Is there no way?

Despite having pretty much no wait when I submitted, I missed all the YTCC events. I did get into that goon-run Trail of Cthulhu game, though, so I'll at least have some small dose of Eldritch nonsense. And my Saturday is completely free at the moment. I might peruse the list later for stuff to fill in there. I did get a session of Millennium Blades with the expansion (the only session in the database that I saw) and a session of CrossTalk (being billed as this year's Codenames). My session is pretty much first thing Thursday (ok, it's 11 AM, so I can watch the opening stampede and mosey over), so if it's good, I'll see if I can buy it and it can be our drunken party game of choice for the weekend.

Wow does this mean I was #1 or I imagine my number was just low enough that they did not bother showing it to me, then. And even with all that careful planning I somehow ended up with three events with overlapping times. And now I have no idea what they were since they are gone.

Whelp, I lost about half my events in wishlist processing. Oh well. More time for exploring Gen Con. Sadly Nemesis Of Moles, I didn't get into your non-goon IBM game. Your tickets sold out fast!Klungar posted:If something is in My Schedule, does that mean I got a ticket for it?

I DO wonder when the word "cosplay" was first written in an event... Also I take it Legend of the Five Rings is relaunching or something, given all this bizarre talk after what seems like a decade since I heard anyone mention it? No offense meant if I am 100000% wrong Edit: Wow yes people in the Facebook group are talking about skipping the convention entirely after being unable to get tickets to the Legend of the Five Rings thing, so I guess so.

Do you like burgers? Like real mother fuckin' burgers? Sometimes with spicy things? Do you like Metal Music so loud you can't hear your friends at times? Do you like 20+ rotating drafts? Do you like servers who don't treat you like a loving sunshine cupcake and are just knowledgeable and attentive?

I don't know what the deal was but the events seemed to go quite a bit faster this year, even with two of our group getting below 1000 on their wish list. This is the first year we actually didn't get everything we were going for, ended up having to out-source one event to other contacts.
