Two of the people I usually go with may not go this year, and if that happens the entire thing might crumble. Hopefully that doesn't happen though because GenCon is a cool time.

My friends and I found a big thing of BreaKey in the trash the year it came out and spent the better part of an afternoon just burning through the bag. One of the keys managed to win like 35 matches before breaking, poo poo was hype as hell.

Mudcrab Merchant posted:You guys are all talking about gaming and I am always working! I wish I had the time to go do cool poo poo with you without the looming presence of my events and booth hanging over my head! It's so depressing! Just do it anyway. Doing events is lame and costs money, just play games with people after hours.

Len posted:Well the girlfriend thinks the figs look cute so definitely gonna be stopping by the booth. I'm slowly dragging her into the gaming hobby but I don't want to overwhelm her with rulebooks and unit options and all the other fun (to me) stuff that goes along with miniature games. I don't think Krosmaster is an AMAZING game, but it is a pretty simple one as far as minis games go, if she thinks it looks cute you should give it a chance.

fordan posted:First time at GenCon and I've completely ignored it so far other than getting a badge on a whim a couple months ago and a con-block hotel room so far away they don't even run a shuttle to it. There's a group me thing people run where anyone who wants to play games or meet up just posts "hey let's play [thing]" and generally people will be down. The free play area is a good bet too, people put up little flags by their table for stuff like players/teachers needed, just keep an eye out for that.

Yeah, and that's not even a terribly recent thing; We got our room two months ago and still have to drive 20-30 minutes to the hall. Which sucks real bad, if you've only stayed in walking distance you have no idea how worse it is to have to coordinate driving and curfews and poo poo

Carteret posted:....curfews? when you have two cars for 7 people and aren't in walking distance yeah you kinda need to do that unless you feel like doing taxi stuff. that's what I'm saying, it sucks to have to say "look unless you want to get a taxi you can't stay at the con any later because the rest of us need to get to sleep so we can play in a tournament at 8am tomorrow".

rjderouin posted:Reminding people because this thread has a lot more traffic since last time I posted. If you come to the Japanime Games booth I will give you cool stuff as long as you identify as a goon. My name is Robert and I will be wearing an actual Japanime collared/bowling style shirt rather than a black Japanime T-Shirt. Just let me know you are a goon. These are the games we carry (https://www.japanimegames.com), if any of them are even passingly interesting to you come on by. repost this gencon weekend or I'll forget. i'll stop by and talk to you about weiss schwarz and then be confused when you dont play it

The best stuff to buy at GenCon is old poo poo that isn't really collector's items. Every year my friends and I buy a box or three of some old dead tcg and play it, usually it's pretty cool and often it gives me some game design inspirations. Speaking of, if anyone sees any boxes of the Monster Rancher card game tell me, it's been my white whale for over a decade now.

I'd definitely play Archipelago and probably Argent too if there was time. I'd have to learn the latter though.

Crackbone posted:I only scheduled a couple events a day, and I'll be free all nights probably in the game library. Maybe we hash out some "official" times this weekend. Nights are probably my worst time fwiw, I'll probably need to be done playing any given thing by midnight for carpool reasons. But earlier in the evening will generally work, and most of my friends will be busy with card stuff on saturday.

Crackbone posted:Got a time preference? I'll be there by 10 (events for people I'm with start then) so any time after that is good. How long does a game take with some learning? I'm going through the manual like you said but I'm sure it'll still be a bit slower than fully learned people playing.

Crackbone posted:Final attack trip report: we kick the ever loving poo poo out of the driller Robo beast. Never took an attack except in round eight (which trigger both primed evolutions), but had enough will to absorb 10 downed systems penalty with a couple to spare and about 10 leftover energy . Difficulty six. Yeah we hosed that robot up. I want to play again tomorrow if there's a chance. Ideally somewhere quieter. I could bring my laptop if that'd help volume concerns.

I GM Pathfinder bi-weekly and have played 5e before, but outside of that I don't have a lot of exposure to other systems. I'm pretty open to anything that would be a good experience regardless of if it's "rules light", crunchy, etc. Strike

If you played it in the hallway that was me. Speaking of me, uh, I won't be able to attend this year because I'm moving to northeast Ohio next week which removes me from my usual carpool group. Have fun everyone!
