GenCon Preparations

[Tadanori Oyama]

Yepm that's the A game of the con world for you. Rudy coding at it's finest. Speak of which, I should get on there...

[clockworkjoe]

I dont have a badge yet so i can't sign up for events

oh well

I'll just sign up for maybe 1 or 2 events

I got most of what I wanted.  Missed out on the Dresden Files and a Trail of Cthulhu that sounded cool.  Got a Road Trip ( Saturday ) and Tom's Bell Island on Thursday ( So Tom, move Divine Fire please! ).  Some CoC, Kerberos, Grim War, DRYH, Dread and the free National Security Decision Making Game Wednesday night ( I think there are still 40+ tickets available! ).

I missed out on basically everything I was interested in. I thought the registration was opening at noon and spent two hours trying to sign up for stuff. Around 2pm I was up and away from my screen for like 10 minutes. When I got back, most of the stuff I was watching had sold out. Missed out on Dresden Files, Trail of Cthulhu, the Wild Talents game and WoD game that we were most interested in, the savage worlds stuff....

Fuck you RUBI. You are the new BBEG.

I did get one ticket to Road Trip on Saturday (win) but I couldn't get one for Violet (fail). Likely will still go, if only so I can be internet famous when Ross posts the AP.

Also playing some Godlike (the far shore), WoD (Of Science and Steel), and Geist (The Baron's Daughter)

Looks like I'll need to plan on running some games. Anyone up for Nemesis? I've got a scenario I've been working on called "Death and Taxis" that might make for a fun con game.

EDIT: I guess the 2pm start time was planned? It would have been nice if that information had been... I dunno... on the registration info page?

I will let violet play - just get some generic tickets

I think it was set to 5 players max and I've run for 7 players before soo that won't be a problem

Ross. You rock.

[clockworkjoe]

oh yeah: if a game you really want to try out gets filled up, get some generic tickets and check it out right before it starts - if a registered player is a no show then you can usually join in as a player. I know several Arc Dream games last year had some no shows - including one of my games

Seriously? Someone skipped an RPPR game? I bet they skipped school on Free Pizza Day too...

I just noticed a Road trip ( RPG1010411 ) ticket showed up as available.  I think a lot of people got double tickets with all the reposting. 

There is also a CoC western ticket that was originally filled up   RPG1011285 ( CoC  Fastest Tentacle in the West )

[Tadanori Oyama]

I managed to snag what I wanted (and some stuff I didn't expect) except for a Road Trip official ticket so I'll be wandering around the table whenever Ross is about to get started with a few genertic tickets.

Got into two of the three scenarios being done by Wildfire with C-Tech (Tager game and Arcane Underground game, sweet). Also booked space in a few lectures (including "what's up with wildfire") and one of the foam weapon workshops, which looked like fun.

I'll play. I'm up for anything unofficial that forum members want to run. Got several of my own games I'm eager to give a shot.

Since Ross is a jackass and won't do it. Will someone run an unofficial playtest of Wasponia (in whatever form it is in, it'll change before August)?

[Tadanori Oyama]

I'll do it, provided some people will play it. I'll need an "official" final version by the end of July. Luckily the game doesn't really require a scenario in its current form, I just need to prepare visual describtions of places, people, and events.

Found an interesting event that I didn't even think about while browsing the Isle of Misfit Events.

ZED1016206      Amtgard Foam Fight Club      Amtgard      08/04/2010 09:00:00 PM $0.00

It's FREE. You get to hit people with FOAM. I plan for this to be my "stretch out after a long plane ride and a hard day of gaming" event. Other people from RPPR should sign up and take this shit over. Me and Violet will both be attending.

[Tadanori Oyama]

Free, foam, and hit are all buzz words for me. I'll look it up and be there (assuming it doesn't conflict with scheduled games).

[ArtfulShrapnel]

It occurs to me that GenCon has that nifty "friends" system setup. Ostensibly it is so that people can buy each other tickets, but it also allows us to view each others' schedules. I'd be willing to share my email with anyone on this thread who wants to hang out during the con.
