So, did anybody manage to get tickets to the events they wanted? I sure didn't!

Man, I wish I was going to GenCon this year. I would be cool to meet my fellow RPPR'ers...

Is Tom running any games at GenCon this year?

YAh. Nope. Screwed out of soo many good games. I guess this means I have to run something next year and be a GM hero.

Tad and I were thinking about a pick-up game during the Con some time. Dunno what I'll run, maybe some gumshoe since I won't be playing any at all at GenCon otherwise.

Missed out on one Monsters game I wanted to play but other than that got every thing I wanted. I tend to play lesser known games I never get to play otherwise so it's not hard to get tickets for most of them. Monsters sold out rather quickly though.

I got nothing. Going to have to load up on generics and stalk stables waiting for no shows. Too bad too, I only wanted to play Eclipse Phase stuff this year, as far as booked games.

This is my first gencon, so of course i missed signing up for games. Still, I doubt I'll find a lack of things to do.

Yeah, there's a lot to do. If you buy some generics you can also wander around and have a good chance of sliding into a game because often they don't totally fill up (some games will even take extra).

This that there Thursday for them there meetup yeh?

Won't be making it, playing Hell is for Children.
Sad face.
If you're still derping about at 9:30 on the other hand...

Damn. Have fun for me Tad. Make sure to creep Tom, out for me too.

Edit: Boardgame Library. This is where my buddies and I will be spending some of our free time. You can get in using unspent tickets, they can be generics or 0$ seminar tickets.
Look for an M-51 Engineer's Bag if you want to play with us.

You go out the Noth-Eastern corner of the convention hall into the parking complex it conjoins and use the skybridge to get into the Hyatt.

From there you go down the stairs, into the lobby, and out the North-East corner entrance. Cross the street heading North, then turn back West and look for a narrow, tall opening in the buildings with a long brick path of stairs. That's the entrance into Embassy Suites.

Follow the brick path up the entry road to the front doors then take the escalator directly ahead of you up to the lobby and then back your way to the restaurants area (not the dimly lit bar). You should see alot of people and mixed into them will be a few with RPPR buttons. If Aaron or I have arrived you'll see one or two big dudes in hawaiian shirts.

I'm going to try to have a sign of some kind as well.


If you think you'll have trouble finding it make sure to pick up a guide (they'll be laying around the Con after a few hours) because that'll have more maps in it.

Also, if you think you'll be especially confused I'll be happy to meet you, personally, at something closer to the main hall and show you the way over myself.
