Got a badge. Got an AirBnB (that I expect to get cancelled...). Now what? Waiting. Forever waiting from one GenCon to the next...

Dr. Quarex posted:Now I understand part of why you had a great time last year WerrWaaa. Frequent drinking with childhood friends is also a big part of it. Let's be honest-- I probably won't make it to any goon gaming this year, because there are lots of people I need to spend time with, BUT IT'S NOT BECAUSE YOU'RE WEIRD STRANGERS FROM THE INTERNET. I like that about you.

Modiphius just sent out an email offering $100 store credit for running a 4-hour session of any of their RPGs, if'n y'all were tryin' to get some of their products and happen to like running RPGs. (I'm strongly considering it just so I can buy a bunch of Vampire books.)

I think they are going to do a new print run that takes that specific flavor out of the Bruha but I also have limited understanding of recent WoD wads.

If singing to pregnant tummies is good for baby development than nerd herding in a con certainly must be. Also, Star Trek: will try to snap up a seat! I'd likely bite the bullet and run a game if Tales from the Loop was on their list

I don't know if this has ever been mentioned but I got some killer deals buying used board games from people on Facebook and picking them up at GenCon instead of shipping. A fringe benefit of a bajillion gamers all on the same city block from around the country. Keep an eye on those online buy-sell-trade groups as GC19 approaches.

What events seem to be the best use of your time? This thread has already mentioned the problems with tournament play, and your love for the auction. Do you do a lot of demos in the dealer hall? RPGs? Open game room stuff? Wandering aimlessly? Workshops and seminars? My inclination to learn toward a few RPGs I want to learn, one-off demo games, and wandering between the dealers and auction in my free/sober time.

Last year an entire group of L5R RPGers didn't show up to their table so my whole group got in on generics, and they didn't even both taking tickets for all of us. It was a blast.

I'm not packing but I am writing out my packing list. And my shopping list. Anyone have a link to a list of exclusives? Here are some relevant BGG links. Gen Con Math Trade RPG companies expected to have releases at Gen Con Promos you can get at GC '19 events New games releasing at GC '19 Sorry if I'm repeating something.

Gross. Also the store has the mug next to a nike football and I wonder where the cross over is between the people who support both of those things.
