Carteret posted: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 want to say the Auction dinner is on Tuesday which is why Quarex, and by association me as his equally-unhinged partner in Gen-Con crime, started spending the WHOLE WEEK OF GEN-CON IN INDY WOOOOOOOOO but that doesn't explain why neither of us went to Shots Wednesday, and I don't remember any other reason. GEN COOOOOOON Edit: my financial spreadsheet has, among other things, a tab for savings and how much of the whole account is devoted to what thing (one thing being Gen-Con, of course), long story short I have a countdown to Gen-Con in the sheet so I have a little reminder of just how soon it is coming. 186 days.

WerrWaaa posted:When will we be able to see an auction schedule? Generally it's not up until the con itself, since they figure out the time frames on Wednesday based on the amount of stuff people bring in. The only consistency is that TOVA is mid-afternoon on Saturday followed by the charity auction to close things out that evening.

I think this might be the year Quarex and I break from whatever we're doing during our Gen Con pilgrimage and actually go to Shots Wednesday; every year I feel like something else has come up although I don't remember what it ever is.

Dr. Quarex posted:And adding us to Shots Wednesday will likely in no way interfere with your ability to consume all the shots yourself, as I do not drink and I am not sure I have seen Captain Rat drink in like five years, but maybe he does sometimes??? I am basically teetotal at this point. Gen Con!

Hiro Protagonist posted:Gen con is expensive as gently caress, and I don't have anyone to go with, so I was probably just going to come one day and pick up some RPGs. Any new releases worth checking out? The only I know are Cyberpunk Red's starter set, and Shadowrun 6th Ed. You can probably save money by passing on Shadowrun 6th based on the Shadowrun thread.

Deviant posted:a) how the gently caress would they know anything about it? Mostly by reading the information on what's been released and inferring information from it. Of note is that the release schedule looks to be quite rushed with little-to-no time for proofreading, and given Catalyst's track record this doesn't really inspire confidence. Released rules changes sound like they're neutral-to-bad.

Dr. Quarex posted:Also if you missed T.O.V.A. this year, you missed me apparently inspiring* Jim who always does the Charity Auction to ask me to be his partner next year, meaning I could easily be auctioneering for like five-six hours on Saturday next year, ensuring my untimely demise. Also this is the year that convinced me to finally pull the trigger on volunteering for the auction, so I may be up on the stage for something (writing or running, at least) next year, and maybe even at the same time as Quarex!
