Bottom Liner posted:You really should have told the story of the punk band if you wanted to sell them on it Yeah okay so one of the things that really sold me on the game was listening to an actual play podcast of the game that you can find here: http://oneshotpodcast.com/podcasts/one-shot/150-red-markets-part-1/ See, in the half-apocalypse future, eccentric rich people/corporations who live in the nice parts of the world, often have crazy missions they want the poor people in the apocalypse to do. The one-shot I played at gencon was finding a rare autographed portrait of fat elvis for a mob boss. The podcast session features a popular punk band that, in their effort to be punk as gently caress, not only records their live albums in the zombie apocalypse, they also source their instruments and sound equipment from the apocalypse. So the PC's get hired (by the record company agent) to babysit a group of punks while they scavange a local high school for drums and guitars. They also have to provide security at their show for the inevitable "how is this punk band's live performance gonna gently caress us over", and boy oh boy does the punk band gently caress them over. It's great! The session is GM'd by the creator and its pretty funny and well edited. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys podcasts and RPGs.

LuiCypher posted:I gotta ask the real burning question that we're all dying to know about Gen Con 50: So I couldn't find anyone to go with me to that rpg so I skipped it. This turned out to be a good decision because the game was run by an organization called ConTessa which is "dedicated to increasing diverse representation by running events led entirely by marginalized people...we provide open, inclusive, and safe environments that diversify what a leader looks like in our hobby" (https://www.contessa.rocks) That is really awesome! It's also a terrible thing to goonrush with a bunch of cis het dudes. So it all turned out for the best!

Thinking like this is why my grocery store had halloween displays before gencon!! New thread in January/February sounds better, otherwise it'll just be all shitposted up instead of people getting hype about the imminent hotel lottery

I mean they also drastically increased the amount of con space with the stadium. It'll be interesting to see if the increased attendance from last year's anniversary falls off or maintains. Last year was the first year they sold out right?

Where was the no-room trade policy written? I didn’t see that. Seems like it just narrows the circle of room trades to people you trust with your last 4 digits cc and billing address?

nesbit37 posted:Thats exactly what it does. Thanks for digging those up for my lazy rear end, I appreciate it! Those changes don’t seem to affect much, unless there was some room scalping happening on reddit or something I don’t know about. E: and just general jerky behavior of sitting on a reservation till you know for sure if you can go or not instead of letting early birds have the good stuff as intended
