My fiancee and I are debating attending again this year, but August 8th is our wedding, so I think we may have to skip it :v:

So, first time registering for GenCon. I got a hotel room booked a couple months ago. But this event registration thing is bonkers. I'm totally clueless. I don't even know what I want to register for. If I miss out on this, will I be poo poo out of luck during the con? Wandering around looking at people having fun?

Also, there's no games events that aren't Pathfinder (blegh). How likely will I be to find someone running cool indie poo poo like Apocalypse World or something?

I wouldn't worry about it, a lot of smaller events and workshops sell out quickly because the demand is high (I got one out of three mini painting classes) but most of the large events usually have a few free seats and people drop out of full events all the time. I barely booked anything last year and just showed up to events with generic tickets and managed to weasel my way in.

So my wife and I were able to visit this year, and had a great time! We're both huge nerds so we knew we would, but we were able to see a lot of nerdy friends and fellow goon Trundel. Our art friend/D&D player had an artist booth this year, and brought my favourite picture of hers, the flower orc.

What did people think of the art show this year? This was the first year they did juried art show acceptance, and I'm wondering what people thought of the outcome.

My friend who entered won an award of some type so I think sh's quite happy with the outcome.
