An Indy Insider’s Guide to Gen Con My friends over at The Illuminerdy asked me to write up a local guide to attractions, eateries, useful businesses, and how to get around Indianapolis. Here is the result: http://www.theilluminerdy.com/2015/07/28/an-indy-insiders-guide-to-gen-con/ I hope...

I can only speak for myself, but I had an absolute blast! Everyone at the table was "on" (in a good way), and The_Galaxy kept the pace wonderfully. Kudos to a great GM! I'll never look at a harpoon the same way again, after using it to hitch a ride on a hovercraft. Good times!

I really enjoyed playing this session. I feel like it was a good introduction to the Fate system, although I agree that not all of us understood or were able to apply the aspects as well as we probably could have. That comes with time and practice, I think.

Thanks for a great game, JC. I enjoyed it at least as much as the GenCon prequel. :D

Thanks to everyone for a great game day! It was certainly worth coming out for, and if time and money are right we plan to return.

Ben and I are confirming our spots, too. Thanks!

I would like a spot, please.

Curses! I have to miss the Sunday PM session to catch a flight home. :(

My partner and I are also interested.

So are we calling "dibs" yet? If we are, then "dibs!" ;)

My partner and I would like to attend.

One other bit of advice: If you're staying at a hotel that isn't connected to the Convention Center by the skywalks, you may want to bring an umbrella. Recent weather has been unpredictable, with pop-up showers and thunderstorms ranging from possible to likely.

This is very true. August in Indianapolis regularly brings temperatures above 30C (86F), and occasionally reaches 33C. However, the Convention Center and many hotels are very aggressively cooled. If you're sitting at a gaming table for 2-4 hours, you might get a bit chilly.

For those of you flying to Indy for GenCon, there is an alternative to the $30 taxi fare: The Green Line express. IndyGo.Net This bus service runs from the airport to a number of downtown hotels, and costs $7 each way.

We're up to 30 people so far. Please let me know soon if you would like to attend... the RSVP deadline is June 15th!

We've had a number of good responses, and it looks like we'll have at least 20 people this year, and probably more as we get closer to the RSVP deadline.

I believe that it's rather less costly than most easel pads, with the added benefit that you can have one continuous sheet rather than using 2 or more pad pages.

GLBT gamers (and our straight friends) are invited to attend the annual Gaymers Dinner on Thursday, August 5th. We will meet at the convention center around 6:30pm and walk to a nearby restaurant. For more information, you can join the Yahoo! Gaymers Group or send me a PM. If you plan on...
