Make sure when you try to goonrush an awful sounding game that sounds like it�s going to encourage bad homosexual stereotypes, its not actually being run by a lbgtq-friendly organization trying to run inclusive games in a positive environment

A gremlin in a teemo hat. Last seen exiting onto the 4th floor of the Mariott Courtyard in the JW plaza, where of course, that horrible massacre occured.

This is a bit, we kept seeing this weird short dude all around the convention (he was briefly described to me and i somehow picked him out of a crowd about 10 min later) and then we discovered he was staying in the same hotel as us

Oh ok, you likely did meet me, I remember meeting llor I think. I was on the far end of the table at the sportsbar so i didnt hear names too well.

And later yeah, I was knee-deep in For-Ex and don�t remember much. That game owns though and if you are looking for weird indie gamer cred, I will happily play it. It�s not so much fun as it is an experience in trying to determine how the butterfly effect works (although I and a few others enjoy it). I got brutally owned by a very simple play I didn�t see last time I got it on the table and it was great.

To confirm for guide updates - they've closed the loophole where someone else can use an account that has an earlier lottery time to sign up for a room, correct?

No they haven�t, you just can�t transfer rooms anymore. You can still use someone else�s account and use your own card on their account, but they need to hold the reservation for the duration.

So both parties need to be comfortable with each other having real name/address. The credit card isn�t an issue because it only displays the last 4 digits anytime after the first entry.

All they did was prevent people from sitting on a room reservations and selling the booking to a complete stranger, its still really easy to do if you have a modicum of trust between the two parties, unless there�s something I�m not seeing.

Is there anything for a teetotaler goon to do with goons? I went in 2016 and also didn't see any goons and most of what I saw discussed was barhopping with some games involved. Either way I'll be there. You will know me by my No Fun shirt.

You could hang out with the goons who drink? Unless you don�t want to be around booze. We don�t get rowdy, its more casual and the barhopping is more only hanging out at one bar because its pretty quiet and they don�t mind us playing games there. People even played AFFO there, so its not just light stuff.

Like Deviant said, nobody throws down gencon money to just get drunk with goons. Except wednesday when we get irresponsible with buying shots, but even that was pretty sedate last year.

Bottom Liner, I�ve seen you post a lot about Spirit Island and I�d really like to try it at Gencon. IIRC you drive so its probably not an issue, but do you think you can bring it? The company has demos but they are all during the day.

I mean if I had the charisma, brand awareness, and willingness to whore myself AND my family�s interactions for money, I would milk that cow dry also.

I�m more surprised at the staying power, they�ve been doing it for like 5 years or something right? And afaik they don�t have any disgusting personal or political opinions/actions on the record, pretty impressive.

Although I assume that last bit will be corrected shortly.

Are there any Wisconsin/Illinois goons that are driving and have some spare room in their vehicle? My travel plans have changed significantly and it looks like I will be in the Madison/Northern Illinois area right before Gencon. I have family who would drive me 1-2 hours to get me to a carpool if necessary. PM me or hit me up on groupme?
