So, events in my life have finally aligned so that I can attend GenCon this year. But, I didn't know it would work out until just recently and so I've missed all the pre-registration deadlines. Not that pre-registering might have mattered anyway since aside from getting into the Con I wouldn't know what I'd like to register for anyway!
To put it mildly- there's A LOT to do at GenCon and I haven't the slightest idea where to start. So I'm asking all the GenCon veterans out there to help me out. I know the basics of Con courtesy and survival- regular bathing, comfortable shoes, good backpack for loot, keep some snacks/water in backpack and that kind of thing, but what about everything else? What are the must-see events? What are the main things to avoid? What are the common noob mistakes? How should I plan out my time? What are the best non-convention events going on? Any and all advice, tips or guidelines to this effect would be most welcome and appreciated. Thanks!
