Haystack posted:I got 12:15pm! Thinking about it, would it be possible for me to reserve a room and then transfer it to some deserving goon? At bare minimum, I could just reserve the room and cancel it at some prearranged time.

The credit card thing makes it a bit tricky. I'm not 100% sure what the safest way to go about transferring the room would be. Probably calling them (at 800-529-EXPO).

Someone compiled the list of the most underserved games at Gencon this year. I'm surprised that CoC still tops the list, given that a ton of additional games got added this year.

nesbit37 posted:I need to do at least one more interview for this Gen Con project and I need someone who has been going for a few years mainly for cosplay type stuff. I was hoping to interview Mudcrab Merchant for this (and still totally will if she can) but I know she's been really busy and scheduling hasn't worked very well. Any of you here know someone suitable or know of someone in the general Gen Con community I should reach out to that might be good for this? Try contacting folks from And Sewing is Half the Battle. It's the most active cosplay group in the region, as far as I know.

RocknRollaAyatollah posted:There's honestly no reason to buy anything at Gencon that you can't get at your FLGS unless it's a crazy good deal, which is rare, or exclusive to GenCon, which is also rare. The big exception being if you want to get something signed.

Thankfully the lines have been incredibly fast the last few years. I don't think I've stood in one for more than 30 minutes.

I'm set for events this year, but I still like trawling through the database and seeing what interesting games are still available. Here's the ones that caught my eye:

Admiral Joeslop posted:How worried should I be about parking? I'm driving to and from the event on all the days. Are there ample garages? What kind of dosh are we looking at here? I've always used Parkwiz and just reserved a spot somewhere. Everything that's left is a bit of a walk (or a shuttle ride), but knowing in advance where you're parking is worth it imo.

Dhaba Indy is legit excellent and does not have a poo poo can afaik. It's also like a 30 minute drive from downtown so, uhh, that kind of has zero relevance on 95% of you

Fellis posted: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) This post was a bit of a roller coaster, let me tell you

Fellis posted: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? Yeah, it was the first sell out. They've been coy with the actual numbers, though, so there's speculation that they capped attendance at 2016 levels. Maybe due to fire marshall concerns, maybe for some other reason.
