Last year there was an indian curry place that had a buffet, was cheap, had tons of room and was delicious. Anyone got the name?

Fellis posted:I think one round of shots wednesday was the single largest purchase i made at gencon. Thankfully it was offset by the incredibly generous friends that Deviant and I made during True Dungeon and bought dinner/drinks for both of us and we didnt even get murdered for my super rare loot chip Shot Wednesday was a pretty cool introduction to gencon. We need a new placcard for the group ( Old one was make america D20 again).

Dr. Quarex posted:Here is a surprisingly good and incredibly long write-up of Gen-Con advice from one of dozens of people going by "the Angry/Furious/Frustrated/Pilloried/Disappointed/Discombobulated/Antidisestablishmentarianistic [Noun]" on the Internet: "Angry GM posted:before you even start packing for your trip. After you found a successful podcast and get booted off by your co-creator over creative differences, whereafter he steals the show, erases you from its history, and runs it into the ground; spitefully start your own gaming blog and Twitter feed. Over the course of several years, build both up and become very successful. Network within the community, befriending other creators, doing guest appearances on podcasts and writing occasional pieces for other blogs. Maybe even do a little freelance work. Once you’re done with that, go to GenCon. It will be awesome. *backs away slowly and closes the door*

For Demos i generally will do a demo if 1) The table is deserted or if nobody is interested in playing it, 2) If i have a genuine interest in the game and want to see how the mechanics play out 3) If I want to try the game before I buy it #2 happens the most, with #3 being a close second. #1 rarely happens unless its a kid game or something like that.

Agrias120 posted:I'm going with a larger group than usual this year, and we've blocked out our schedule of events we want to do. We're all friends on the Gen Con site. Is the best way to wishlist the events for myself + all my friends, then when registration opens hope to make it through the floodgates and claim the tickets to the events? I seem to remember some problem last year with an event on both my friend and I's wishlist selling out, and then I couldn't buy a replacement event for him in the same timeslot because the expired event was still in his wishlist at that timeslot. I might be misremembering, though. Any tips are appreciated! Best bet would be to have one person add you all as "Friends" on the gencon webiste. Then have that one person sign up for the event and get tickets for everyone, then click the "Dont get tickets unless we can get tickets for everyone". That way you will be ensured you can all go to the event. If you want to play a little more loosey goosey than have everyone sign up for the event and mash the "process wishlish" key on the 28th. There is a chance that only 4/5 of you will get tickets. Or you could have one person get tickets, and the other people get replacement tickets that you refund if you get into the main event.

nesbit37 posted:Its worth doing at least once. Think of it as a haunted house only where you play quasi D&D inside. A lot of how good it is depends on the group you run with so if you can plan ahead and either go with friends or people that have run several times before. Bunch of goons in the groupme are organizing to do a run twice. From what i have heard its like an escape room, only good if you do it with goons and you can ignore the price.

nesbit37 posted:Does anyone have any events they highly recommend you try and get into this year? My overall list is pretty light other than the 50th anniversary special stuff. I think I may actually take Gen Con kind of easy this year, do my talk, get in a little D&D and a round of True Dungeon and then just chill for once. Its my second year so Im looking at all the nifty new things coming out of gencon, I expect to be dissapointed but... Hero Realms is doing some kind of coop campaign? Legend of the five rings is launching at gencon Infinity (miniature game) is releasing their new boardgame at gencon.

LLSix posted:Sounds good to me. I read somewhere that vendors will run free demo games too so we're thinking about not signing up for many board game events. True or False? Make sure to use groupme.com to chat with goons and organize board games. Also come out to Shot Wednsday

Lump Shaker posted:Yes, I lucked out and got a ticket. Also got into the Star Wars Destiny championships so I'm pretty pleased. Other than that, doing Two Rooms and a Boom, Wits & Wagers Gameshow and the BGG Hot Games Room. Haha! Want to teach me how to play? You in the groupme chat? It seems pretty interesting but im kind of nervous around tournaments (And Salty Mike may reveal himself in a tournament).

saint gerald posted:Gencon goons are a notoriously antisocial bunch and attempts to organize get-togethers have typically ended in awkwardness and early, excuse-making exits. For further proof of this you should go to our groupme and ask about Shot Wednesday, Fiasco, Camelot, or shamefur disprays. SHOT SATURDAY is also going to be a thing. The True Dungeon is at the end of this bottle of lagavulin!

Dr. Quarex posted:The other big exception being if you are in the Auction/Auction Store, as they specialize heavily in "crazy good deals" in huge numbers and, well, sort of "exclusive to Gen-Con" in the sense that your local game store is not going to have, say, a shrinkwrapped copy of a rare game from 1976. Buy whatever you want at gencon. I come from canada so furniture is out of the question. If you see a fancy game you might want, note it down and go back on Sunday and see if its there. I'd say you might be missing out on things if you go to gencon to just buy things. Go out to events or meetup with goons.

pubic works project posted:I just got two free 4-day passes through work. I've only been once before and I'm not a huge gamer. Is there anything that I absolutely have to check out? First off, come out to SHOT WEDNSDAY with the goons Check out the vendor hall and go to Games on Demand? (You show up and they make you do an RPG, someone else can explain this) Join Group me and meet up with goons. Do you have a favourite board game or Miniature game or RPG? GO to http://gencon.eventdb.us/index.php and search for that game, join a session of it! What do you want to do at gencon is the big question? Do you want to see new things and play new things? Do you want to play big mega games that would be hard to organize before hand? Do you want to talk about RPGS and games?

Chill la Chill posted:How easy is it to find and play a monster wargame at GenCon? Is it still a thing that happens or is it all about the normie games now? Assuming I have my GenCon history right, it was originally about wargames. I think that's what I'd like to do at GenCon as it'd be an awesome, rare treat. You can find info on new games easily and you'd be able to buy them cheaply a month or two afterwards anyway, so those don't really interest me. there was a ticketed event for World In Flames: Operation Barbarossa. That would fill you in for wargames Edit: LL6 you need to get into the groupme. You send a message and goons will tell you where to meet up and you play games and then they call you retarded. Can't be more welcoming than that! Exmond fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Aug 21, 2017 |
