I tried to watch one of those Geek & Sundry RPG productions but in 5 minutes it felt super obvious that everyone involved was there for a paycheck and not because they wanted to be. It was like sitting down with a bad GM at Gencon, basically

The photo thing is weird as a photographer because in a public space (even private events like Gencon are considered a public space) it's legally fine to take photos of anyone at any time as long as it's not something like upskirts or in a bathroom where they have a reasonable expectation of privacy. The Gencon User Agreement/Terms of Service don't even mention cosplay or consent of con-goers at all, interestingly enough. But of course anyone mad about cosplay is not consent is not concerned with that they're just being piss babies that can't respect social contracts enough to even wear deodorant, much less not be a loving creep. I'm all for the policy of no touching or being a creep and would tell anyone that's groped to immediately press charges in a heart beat, but I'm not sure if any convention could actually enforce the no photos without permission policy legally (and Gencon should really include cosplay is not consent in their terms of service to both enforce it and show more support beyond just words). EDIT: Holy poo poo the chuds on Facebook mad about Anita are sharing Jordan "Women Owe Men Sex" Peterson memes in their arguments, because of course they are.

Anyone planning any serious cosplay? I’m bringing my real camera and lights this year and want to take some cool portraits. You can see my portrait work here https://www.lightroomzen.com/portfolio

Philthy posted:They cater to different gamers. In years past, Origins is where the Grognards go to play all the wargames. You will find entire rooms filled with a map of the world and some 90 year olds pushing piles of chits from the Austrailia table over to the Africa table. WotC also has taken Origins as their premier con now 5e D&D to mirror Paizo taking GenCon as theirs for Pathfinder/Starfinder. GenCon is more generalist boardgaming funtimes. Origins is more hardcore nards talking WW2 with non-stop beard stroking. I was just making a joke about all the poop talk

Philthy posted:Wednesday is pretty vacant, so parking might be cheaper that day. Otherwise expect about 22-30 / day parking. Uber/Lyft ran about $20 each way from an airport hotel about 10 mins away? We just parked, it was cheaper. I snagged one of those $10 passes this year. It's too bad the Uber pricing isn't like Vegas, it's literally $5 to go anywhere. The lots around Lucas Oil are 10/day or you can get a weekend pass for $30-35 I think. These aren't the official lots but they are staffed and safe and it's 2 blocks to the vendor hall.

Anyone driving can also park at the Indianapolis Zoo for $8 a day until midnight. Less than a mile to the ICC and a nice secure lot for the cheapest rate I think.

That was a really good venue last year that closed way too early. Noise ordinance is dumb. We need more space than HV can give.

Junkie Disease posted:What's the codenames of this gencon. What new goon approved excellence do I need to find? Root is going to be the big one I think. It's loving great too. For small cheap games though Arboretum's reprint is going to be really popular, and it's also very good.

Clanpot Shake posted:I have some back-to-back events scheduled and only today bothered to check the map for where they are. I've got 2 separate ICC to Lucas Oil treks to make on Friday and Saturday. Does Gencon provide a way to contact event hosts so I can send them something like, "Hey I fully intend to be there but may be late for reasons"? One of them is a workshop and it probably won't matter too much but the other is a BSG game and I really don't want to miss it. It's a 2 minute walk from the vendor hall, ~5 mins from the tournament hall. Should be fine.

Meyers-Briggs Testicle posted:Yeah i understand how its played but people are busting nuts over how good it is, and based on my bad introduction it seems very fiddley. The bird people seem like they get destroyed by leader loss every time and according to our demoer that is very true The birds have a lot of potential to run away with the game if they program well and aren't put in check. They can do the most actions of any faction if they go aggressive and plan well. They are designed to ebb and flow with the turmoil system though, it doesn't make them weak, it gives an interesting tempo to their play.
