[QUOTE="Pauper, post: 6854872, member: 17607"] Been going to GenCon for about 10 years straight now. My experience is that the wish-list building starts up about two weeks prior to actual event reg, so that event reg day is hundreds of people poised over their computers, waiting to click the 'submit wish list' button when it lights up at noon. I'm kind of hoping AL returns to the ballroom at the Marriott where LFR held its last year of events; the ballrooms on the second floor facing the convention center all seemed available for open gaming, so they should be available to be 'taken over'. One tip when mustering -- if you don't already have a full table of people to play a game you've signed up for at GenCon, be sure to show up to the mustering area 10-15 minutes before the event starts so that you can put a full table together. The more organized your group can be before you reach the table, the quicker and better your mustering will be. I've always been curious about running games at GenCon, but since I pay for all my other stuff (badge, room, etc.,) in advance, I don't know that running games would be very valuable to me other than for the experience. Not to mention that any game I run cuts into my gaming time, which since I typically DM locally, I tend to be very protective of when I'm traveling. I'll be at GenCon with two friends and my fiancee, and we plan to get in a healthy dose of Adventurers League, along with some True Dungeon and possibly a bit of board gaming around the edges. My fiancee is planning to hook up with some folks who will be running a Harry Potter CCG tournament as well. Looking forward to all of it! -- Pauper [/QUOTE]
