Is there a way to get a day by day schedule of the events you signed up for at gen con? I could put my events into a spreadsheet, but I'm looking for something more automated (to double check my spreadsheet against since its been months since I picked events).

Anyone have any experience with adopting a puppy and hiring someone else to pet it at Gen-Con?

Most of my friends agree with the spreadsheet hatin' crowd but I like being able to visualize everything at a glance. In the past I've also made auction spreadsheets and packing spreadsheets, but I have not done so this year.

You can use the highprogrammer site to generate calendar entries for your events, but as far as I know you still need to do it one-by-one (though you can search by event ID which makes it not terrible).

So, packed my games, here's what I actually am bringing: Lisboa Lignum Wildcatters Trickerion Container Arkwright 1856 (mostly because I'm gonna try for the 18XX events) Indonesia Food Chain Magnate Keyflower Smaller games like Arboretum, Bling Bling Gemstone, Skull, and Gravwell are also in my bags. Hit me up for playing some of these; I'll be camping in the game library unless otherwise noted. I'll be on Groupme.

I think on the gencon website you can check your event order history and all the info is there for each event. Then just spend 5 minutes typing up google calendar events or other calendar app whatever

I have one four hour event each day, and the rest of the time will be spent waiting in lines to spend stupid amounts of money

My schedule is pretty front loaded. I even have some overlapping stuff, which I thought GenCon wouldn't let you sign up for.

Which I found out the hard way when one friend registered me for a conan rpg and another tried to sign me up for true dungeon, and true dungeon got denied  .

Can someone post the parking lot finder site again? Trying to determine if parking or ubering will be easier.

Nemesis Of Moles posted:At this point I think everything is basically sold out, going to have to figure out my parking when I get there I spent the whole con 2015 driving in and parking at the stadium. Flat rate for the whole day, tons of space. Edit: it doesn't show on parkwiz, but http://www.downtownindy.org/get-around-downtown/park/?&lm=vd shows that it's 5 bucks a day to park there. I imagine for the event it is more like 15? but that's hard to beat. Carteret fucked around with this message at 01:54 on Aug 16, 2017 |

I just park in the underground ramp right in front of the main doors. No one knows it's there. I'm going to try Uber / Lyft first though. THey both have weekly specials of $5/10 off per ride. I'm only 7 miles away.

No poo poo, they made more Archenemy decks? Is it a box with other decks too? That was my favorite version of MTG.

I'm going to Gencon for the first time every this year. It was kind of sudden and unexpected. I probably won't have the same experience as most people because I'm actually working as a contractor for a large company demoing games and judging tournaments. I'm pretty amped up about it because I'm going to Gencon pretty much all expenses paid and will get paid while I'm there and then probably give about twice that amount of money back to the company paying me.

If you're not afraid of a bit of a walk, it's unlikely that either the zoo or Circle Center mall parking will fill up also.

Speaking of transport, anyone else staying at the Super 8 in Indy (4033 East Southport Rd)? Wanna see if anyone wants to split taxi or Uber/Lyft fares to and from the convention center.

DONT FORGET YOUR BADGE E: also if you are flying in, there is a $10 shuttle bus to downtown. They don't take cash and you can reserve a seat online ahead of time for priority boarding http://goexpresstravel.com/indy_express Fellis fucked around with this message at 13:02 on Aug 16, 2017 |
