Gen Con 2009

BobProbst · 13th April 2009, 07:29 PM

Registration is opening this weekend.

I'm interested in doing True Dungeon but am not interested enough to sit online for hours trying to register.

So, if anyone is interested in registering, I'm interested in attending. Right now, I'm wide open in terms of time so feel free to choose a time at will.

Any takers?

But I'm likely to be tied up with family stuff this weekend, alas, so I cannot wait by the Web site to register.

BobProbst · 14th April 2009, 02:44 PM

They've revised registration so maybe the servers will handle it better. If there's no other takers, I might try to get in and register but if the servers are busy, I'll bag it.

I'm checking with Josh to see if he's interested again this year. Mark/Vince -- if you plan on going you might really enjoy this . . .

True Dungeon - Real Dungeon. Real Props. Real Cool.

I'll handle it if you guys want me to. Was anyone able to find the link to the download catalog on their new website? It confuzors me.

Anyways, let me know how many TD tickets we need before Sunday. I can just go ahead and get an entire 8-man slot. Selling the extras will be super easy. Thoughts?

Don't count me in.

I'm in for whenever and if we can get Saturday or Sunday, the boy would love to go too.

I knew I'd read this somewhere, so I checked to be sure...

Bob, find out about Josh (or anyone else) and post here or call me.

Bah! My kid is bigger than I am (height, not width.) So I guess I would be in for anytime before Saturday/Sunday.

Did you get a link to the event catalog?
This should be it

BobProbst · 17th April 2009, 05:09 PM

Josh says he's in . . .

Fyrestryke · 19th April 2009, 06:12 PM

We're set my buddies!

Schedule all of your events around that time. Plan to be there around 10ish to get prepared (tokens ready, etc, get choice of characters before the other 3 players, etc. =) ). That covers me, Bob, Josh, John, and Chris.

You guys can wait to pay me back at GenCon with cash if you'd like. It'll give me some spending money.

Grimhelm · 19th April 2009, 06:14 PM

Hey, Chris, how are you? I called you the other day... Give me a ring, let me know how you are!

Mark

Fyrestryke · 19th April 2009, 09:36 PM

Well, that was incredibly easy this year. The system was slow, but it kept on working.

Plus there's the finals for the tournaments I'm in on Saturday:

Puerto Rico Semis at 5pm (2 hours)
Puerto Rico Finals at 7pm (2 hours)
Roborally Finals at 5pm (4 hours)
3D Robo Rally Finals at 6pm (2 hours)
Ticket to Ride Semis at 9pm (1 hour)
Ticket to Ride National Championship Finals at 10pm (however long it takes

)

So, depending on how I do, I may have some tough decisions to make on Saturday evening.

I'm missing out on Powergrid this year because I forgot about it when I registered us for True Dungeon. Oh well, TD is much more fun, 'specially with friends...

BobProbst · 20th April 2009, 05:50 PM

Thanks for taking care of this Chris. I'm really looking forward to it now!

thormagni · 20th April 2009, 08:00 PM

Homicide 101 (Bureau 13) Thursday 9 a.m.

GM: Freedom isn't Free (Mutants & Masterminds) Thursday 3 p.m.

Devils in the Details (Hunter: The Vigil) Friday 10 a.m.

GM: Freedom isn't Free (Mutants & Masterminds) Thursday 3 p.m.

Champions Offline! (Champions) Saturday 4 p.m.

Spies, Lies, Fire in the Skies (Star Wars RPG) Sunday 8 a.m.

I just submitted the two M&M games I hope to run, so I don't know if those will actually come to pass or not. If not, I think I will pick up a handful of generics and just try the first game I come across.

Fyrestryke · 20th April 2009, 09:14 PM

You're welcome Bob. I know what you mean. I'm so excited. August can't get here fast enough. =)

What if the first game you come across is a Barbie (tm) RPG or something like that??

Hey Grimhelm! Gimme another call. I'm gonna be busy bowlin' tonite so I won't be available tonite, but call me when you're free and hopefully I won't be too busy to talk for a bit.

Well, clearly it would depend on whether it was the D20 version of Barbie & Ken RPG or AB&K 2e. I always thought there were too many classes in AB&K 2e and it really got away from the core of the game system.

Plus they had all those extra Ability Scores. Everyone knows that the real B&K only uses Charisma. And there is no base attack bonus, 'cause GI Joe is always kicking Ken's AC.

On a serious note, I signed up for a Bureau 13 game, not realizing that the game hasn't been in print in like 17 years. I think they were coming out with a D20 version, but I believe that was PDF only.

I just got an e-mail tonight that my M&M events for Gen Con have been "accepted for consideration." So, no times or tables yet, but it looks like we are moving in the right direction. I asked for 3-7 p.m. slots on Thursday and Friday, but that isn't set in stone.

Sweet! Keep us posted. =)

I wrote my Gen Con preview story for today's paper, which was mostly a sidebar for a story about people playing more games 'cause the economy stinks. Here's a link to the story:
