Is Artemis even worth it now at Gencon? Seems like what few reports I heard the last two years were rather poor for the cost and time.

When I did it two years ago, they had a bunch of broken laptops on a card table without an actual scenario. They may have gotten their poo poo together, but it’s not worth the exorbitant cost to find out.

Received word from people in a Facebook Group that it is indeed no longer worth the cost. The scenarios are well done, when they work, but the staff is apparently rude and with rising costs it becomes a question of “this or literally anything else”

The year I got to do it, after a couple of years of my friends talking it up, apparently senior leadership behind the team had exploded the week before GenCon with some existential crisis and the C-Team got rolled out just to avoid having to refund the tickets. Zero immersion in the presentation, and the scenario was the laziest implementation of the Kobiyashi Meru that you could possibly have, which we somehow broke by just flying slightly under a “impenetrable” boundary of asteroids. Worst experience in my history at GenCon by a country mile.

We didn't go last year cuz we were saving for our honeymoon, and now we are unsure if we're gonna go this year. It's possible my wife will be pregnant and she isn't gonna want to be on her feet for the weekend.

Maybe I'll just get the Sunday badge or something so I can meander the remnants of the exhibition hall.

My wife was 7.5 months pregnant one year, the convention center let her borrow/use a wheelchair so she could stay off her feet. Whether that's worth it to her is another question, but the option is there.

Nothing can get as bad as that Indian place closing. First year at Gencon and I got to eat there, then never again.

I live in Ypsilanti so if you're in town this year I can show you around!

Nice! I live in the Novi area, I’ll have to check this out since I haven’t been able to get back to GenCon for a couple years now.
