The GenCon Twitter account posted last night looking for convention and visitors bureaus who want to be part of their RFP process. I don't know if that's customary 5 years out from the end of a contract but it certainly seems to me they're exploring their options.

Ugh. I've already seen one gamer on Facebook who was disappointed by Gen Con for not immediately pulling out of Indy.

Yeah I've had someone call me a coward for not canceling my trip. I'm sure the moral high ground would make up for the couple hundred dollars I'd be out if I bailed at this point, and that my refusal to go would make the governor immediately change his stance.

One of the guys I'm going to GenCon with is having a birthday while we're there. Any recommendations of something in the area to do? We'll have a car so getting away from the immediate area around the convention center won't be a problem.

Thanks folks. Steak, martinis and cigars sounds just about perfect.

Someone is running an Archer game using DC Heroes. I feel like this is specifically targeted for me.

I have not but the one Saturday at 12am is a thing I have in my wish list.

Same, although it will be after the birthday dinner/drinks at St Elmo's as recommended by this thread. What better time for a Doomsday Scenario!

Although I have a Warmachine tournament at 9am on Saturday and I'm Old so this may be a Very Bad Idea.

Double posting but how does Thursday at 8pm sound for that NSDM goon event?

Thursday at 8 sounds good. I'm also putting in for the 12am Saturday one because why not.

You can also just walk away if you start to play something and it turns terrible. I've faked an emergency phone call from my wife many times when it became clear the next 4 hours were going to be insufferable.

Also when you get there go to the Games on Demand room. They'll have a crapload of cool indie games that are, um, on demand. Here's what they're planning on offering. They won't be running all of that at every time slot but that's what they will have available.

Who all got into that NSDM on Thursday? And what should we do that's less awful than the "Do you have stairs?" to identify each other for maximum COLLUSION purposes?


I'll be there with 1d6+1 of my non-goon buddies.

We should raise our chalices and shout "For the Lady!"

Also if you just click on your name (might need to click twice, once opens the drop down) on the GenCon homepage you will get your events in chronological order.

I just bought a rusty toolbox full of lovely terrain and double wide masking tape at the auction because it was described as a "murder hobo starter kit" and so how could I not? GenCon Auction Best Auction.
