How did I forget to respond to this part when I started writing it first

I really have no idea how I have continually managed to miss this, considering it is a Goon Tradition(tm) AND I have been trying to go to Rathskeller's anyway for the entire time I have been going to Indianapolis for this nonsense. I am sure Captain Rat or Torrent might remember why we ended up doing something else last year.


I believe your excuse EVERY YEAR EVER (besides the year we all don't want to think about... the dark Quarex-less Con) had something to do with the Auction Dinner? Or was that on Tuesday and you just hate us.

I suppose I can, you know, contact the high priest in the usual methods to ascertain the location of the new restaurant, but where am I going to find a virgin in 2019? :(

There's this event happening around the same time absolutely FILLED TO THE BRIM with non sex havers. Maybe you've heard of it?

I remember one of the terms we used was a "trundle."

I believe that can be used for the majority of GenCon attendees, present company included.

I'm attending GenCon for the first time this year, which is cool. I guess everything big is sold out already, which is less cool. Is wandering around the booths something that I can send the whole time doing, or should I start figuring out what else in Indianapolis I want to do? :(

Get GroupMe. There are always goons looking to hangout and get a game in/drink

 its also handy for when your wifi signal shits the bed when 50,000 other people are trying to shitpost on facebook: you can switch it to SMS mode (i hope you are ready for the constant stream of phone notifications. Not usually recommended!)

The first two years we got our badges at Will Call. First year was Thursday morning, maybe a 2 minute wait. Last year, Wednesday night and at least a half hour wait. We're trying the mail option this year and between the two of us, hopefully, we don't forget. I still have to break the news to my boss that I'm taking that Thursday and Friday off, since someone else already requested the week.

Also, guess the location!

Also on the "potentially useful but obscure-ish things about Gen-Con" tip, here is a list of all the new vendors, all the vendors that attended in 2018 but are not returning, and all the vendors who changed their names in the past year. I always appreciate when someone else spends a little too long thinking about and working on projects of this kind of utility. R.I.P. Who North America even though I realize their actual store is, like, across town

Since gooncon presence is spread across a few different chat platforms here's a post for organizing games. I'm bringing the following and happy to teach/play any of them. Most of my afternoons/evenings are free so let me know what you want to play and we'll schedule it.

I just realized I have absolutely no idea if the pop-up Gen-Cons (Gens-Con) were successful. This probably means they were not as successful as hoped and they are discontinuing them, or they were precisely as successful as hoped and there is no need to overhype it now that they know it will work?

It also may mean some sort of third thing

Apparently Not:

Can’t make it to Indianapolis for Gen Con 2020?

Pop-Up Gen Con brings the convention experience to a store near you! We’ll ship exclusive demo copies of new games debuting at Gen Con to game stores across the United States (and possibly the UK and Canada), so you can play convention-released games before they hit the market!

In 2019, the pilot year of the program, we had over 40 stores participating, in 2020 we plan to double that! Gather with your local gaming community, try out hot new games before anyone else, and feel the excitement of The Best Four Days in Gaming™ — all from the comfort of your friendly local game store.

Stay tuned to this space which will be updated with information as to when Pop-Up Gen Con badge registration ($5) is available, what local stores will be participating, what Publishers and games will be part of the program, and much more! Gen Con 2020 will be held July 30-August 2, 2020.
