and this year I think I just might actually pull the trigger and talk about the real-world and fantasy implementations/conceptualizations of eugenics. Sound like a fun topic for a gaming convention? I thought so!

Holy gently caress how do you process all the poo poo that's available on the event calendar? Can you export it to a spreadsheet or something?

Well, I missed event reg like a schmuck, but on the plus side that means I can just play games with random people and poo poo. And drink.

So, I missed all the event reg poo poo, and I have no tickets, not even generics. Are generics usable by anybody or are they tagged to a specific person?

So anybody got a few they want to sell? gently caress waiting in line on Thurs.

Of course I can just run the dealer hall and get wasted/play in the hotel lobby.

I should probably mention I'm totally going to be going to this. I only scheduled to play some 18XX stuff early to mid Thursday; other than that I'm hoping people will be around for GAMES.

I'm going to be stupid again and bring board games; hopefully some of you gents will be interested!

EDIT: And seriously if anyone is interested in a meetup for some slightly longer and/or more complicated board games there's a few on my shelf that are screaming to be played.

gently caress yeah dude, I'm pretty much free all weekend so I'm down. I rarely even get medium weight games to the table lately, I am so up for Archipelago.

Would anyone play or learn Yomi if I brought it? It's pretty portable, but I'd still rather know if there's interest since car space will be limited.

Also I'll totally play anyone at Project M or Melee who wants to get bopped.

I'd be down for Yomi. On the other side of Sirlin, I've got my custom card printed version of puzzle strike that doesn't get enough play. I'd be happy to bring along as well.

What's the deal with all the people with games and airport style name signs in the Wabash hallway?

Math trade. It's basically a big swap meet where a computer maximizes the number of trades.

Does anyone know if any retailers are selling Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective or if it's at the auction? The SO and I are really looking to buy a copy not on Amazon.

Basically if you see it on SU&SD, buy it immediately the review appears or it'll end up out of stock very quickly.
