Got a room right across the street at the Marriott. I'm going to endeavor to play more demos and games with goons this year. Also not drink so much.

Don't rule out the waiting list, I got a room at JW Marriott last year from it. I think I had registered by this time though.

We definitely need to get some late night alcohol fueled games going this year. I threw some beers into a trash can with some ice and we had good times playing in one of the JW Marriott game rooms last year.

I had fun playing Sentintels at the JW Marriott and a bucket of beer last year. What will be the drunken game this year??

I added myself to the spreadsheet. I'm only signed up for Netrunner stuff so I'll be pretty free for whatever from Wed - Sunday. Thursday morning I'll of course be part of the herd rushing the doors.

Countblanc posted:Similarly, I don't think I'll be making it this year either. I have a place to stay but it isn't walking distance to the con and I really don't want to have to find parking every day. It also makes traveling back and forth between the con for late night gaming less viable. Maybe some random thing will happen to change that, but booooo this'll be my first time missing the con in four years. You could stay with us if you don't mind sleeping on the floor. We're at the Marriott across the street. I'll ask my buddy but I don't think he'd mind. The only problem would be extra keys - not sure how they handle that. I'm the dude that bought Mage Wars from you last year. Maybe we would even play it for a change! Kaddish fucked around with this message at 19:46 on Jul 14, 2014 |

saint gerald posted:What Netrunner stuff are you in for? There's a casual game session someone from Reddit is running on Friday at 5, as well as nationals. I'm doing the casuals and the tournament. I have no doubt I'll be knocked out in the first round but hell, why not.

saint gerald posted:Which flight for the tournament? Flight 1. Thursday 11:00AM. Kind of a crappy starting time since that takes away from dealer hall extravaganza but I really don't think I'll make it far in the tournament and I just want to pick up a couple of things in the beginning rush anyway.

Promo/Exclusive talk. Last year I sort of picked up random promos from just walking around. Fire Sneeze for Pathfinder Card Game, a card for Mage Wars that I don't remember, etc. What are some of the exclusives and promos you guys are looking forward to this year? I looked around for a list (I remember seeing one on BGG at some point) but I didn't find anything definitive.

SirFozzie posted:Have they started setting up have they have they hmm hmm hmm? Nope, there was absolutely no indication the place was about to inundated with tens of thousands of nerds two weeks later. It really made me realize how massive GenCon is though. The conference I attended took just a tiny fraction of the convention center and during GenCon the entire place is packed with people.

I guess Ignacy Trzewiczek will be chilling at the Czech Games booth all day as well as doing demos of his new Witcher game. Tempted to bring my copy of Robinson Crusoe for him to sign. If Witcher is there I'll be buying that anyway....

Mr.Trifecta posted:What is this about preordering doomtown? I was looking to pick up one there. The preorder was for the standard edition. I believe they stopped taking them on on July 20. You can still get Premium editions first come first serve which means if you aren't lined up at the doors on Thursday morning you probably won't get one. Even then, by the time the media people and VIGS are done who knows how many copies will be left.

You and I already have a Mage Wars and Netrunner date. We should get a game of Avalon together at some point. Preferably at a bar/hotel with alcohol.

Crackbone, thanks for the game of Witch's Brew. It was probably my favorite game of the con, very fun. Please let me give you money for a print like yours

Lawen posted:You guys are killing me with your loot photos. The 40lbs of games I shipped home won't show up until Thursday I met you briefly last year as well but you were a cool dude. I understand you may go to DiceTower con next year in Orlando - if so I'll probably see you there. But yeah every goon I've met at GenCon has been totally cool.

FuSchnick posted:Any of you lucky bastards who bought Shadowrun: Crossfire get to play it yet? I've gotten my hopes up for this one. I did. It's really loving hard but seems like it will be a lot of fun. It's basically a slightly more complex Pathfinder Card Game.
