I mean the problem, logical or not, is at least before people felt some sense of power over their place in the order. If you showed up and hit the button at 12PM you knew you'd done everything you could. Obviously that's inaccurate and it was practically just as random as this system but replacing that with a direct RNG makes people feel like its arbitrary. Which it is but it was before anyway so. People feel "cheated".

I'm annoyed that I just had literally 0 chance of ever getting a hotel within the state by my RNG roll but I've never gotten an early spot in any method so

[What do you have in your Gen-Con bag?]

A ventriloquist's dummy. Because I want to see how far people draw back when I use it for both role playing and interacting with people around the table for 4 hours. And also, because screw practical, this con's about having fun.
On one hand, purple monkey cheese; on the other, possible serial killer.

If this ever happened at a table I'd just straight walk away, no words, no comment, just out. I don't have time to get murdered by The Puppet Master when I'm trying to play pretend here

Basically all I do at GenCon is play in RPGs (something like 30~ hours of them last year), and mostly they're awesome and I have a good time, but big yikes to the game last year that involved two people just constantly telling my wife exactly what she can and can not do in the game, at one point stopping the game in its tracks to delineate what "roll to shoot" means in gruesome detail. Or the Numenara game that the GM flew off the handle for when we wouldn't be corralled into a room and canceled the game right there.

What is "Gen Con Presents"? Every event I submitted has been changed to add this to them and the same thing happened last year but nothing comes up when I search.

Which one? Those all look like Board Games or Talks, I must be missing it. I think I remember you saying a few pages ago you were running a Delta Green (?) game but can't find the post. You were a fun GM when I played in your goon DW game a couple years ago and I'd definitely try for a spot in your game (as long as "Never Played Before" is OK).

If you run a non-official/goon DW game again I'd try to show up for that too and maybe bring a non-goon friend or two that I've been wanting to introduce to DW. Guessing that'll get organized on GroupMe later?

Its the IBM Infernal Bone Machine game. And yeah we'll do extra games through GroupMe, non-goons are totally welcome, but it'll probably be a trainwreck depending on how many people show up

There's tons of nice bathrooms if you're not a scrub and know where to find them (its the hotels go to the hotels) but that particular one is in the vendor hall right next to the entrance and its easily the most trafficked one of the con and ends up a hellpit somewhere around 1PM on thursday

I vastly prefer the stealthy OOC solution: call for a Perception roll (or equivalent). Chuckle evilly at the results (whatever they are) and pull the problem player aside to "impart secret information." Once out of earshot of the other players, say, "OK, your character notices X important fact/clue/whatever. Also, dude, quit bein' a dick. Other people are trying to have fun here too, so please be respectful of that."

Most people will tone it down if explicitly called out. But if you have a determined cockbag, don't hesitate to jettison him or her. Your time is valuable too.

This is really good
