    Worst DM Quotes at Gencon

    Re: Re: Worst DM Quotes at Gencon I think I was in that game... At one point, when I rolled very badly on a Spot Hidden check, the GM said: "Thank you so much for waisting part of my life to witness that roll." That kind of thing makes a player feel unloved :(

    So what is the new "Safe House"?

    Did anyone get to the Slippery Noodle south of Circle Centre Mall and Union Station? They frequently have great live blues (and other music), and the food isn't bad either. The only downside is that it can be hard to talk over the noise.

    [OT] Who are YOU and what do you DO?

    I'm a white male, 31 years old (born on Friday, August 13th). I have lived all my life in Indiana, and currently work as a web developer and computer programmer for the Indianapolis public library. It's a great job... I do what I enjoy while helping people. (Now if I could just figure out how...

    Worst Case Scenario at GenCon

    Indy only has one area code: 317 But there is a 219 area code in northwestern Indiana... I don't know where Newport, IN is but it could be either.

    [OT] To All Who Know Me ... Sad News

    AB, I don't know of anything that hasn't already been said, but just the same: I'm sorry to say that I don't know you personally, and I haven't interacted with you much on these boards (I'm a dyed-in-the-wool lurker)... but I've always enjoyed reading your posts, and I respect you very much...

    GEN CON and the Indianapolis Area

    Places to eat As a few others have said, Buca di Beppo's is a good place to eat, but bring your friends. It's family-style italian, and one entree will feed 3-5 people. Rock Bottom and Palomino are good also, and Houlihans is reliable. Also, Champps (located in Circle Center Mall) is a solid...

    GEN CON and the Indianapolis Area

    As far as the weather goes, I would expect mid 80F's as a high. It's been a very wet month so far, but July and August are usually dry. Expect high humidity, and be prepared for highs in the 90's. Intellicast 10 day forcast for Indianapolis weather.com Indianapolis area 10 day forecast

    Anyone else not have their GenCon badge?

    I registered for my badge back in early February, and I don't remember seeing any kind of "Will Call" vs "Mail" option. After getting the canned response from GenCon registration, I asked where this switch was located. Here is the response: Having saved all of the messages they sent...

    Anyone else not have their GenCon badge?

    I'm in the same situation. I don't recall selecting "Will Call", and I wouldn't have done so if I had a different option. If they did default it to "Will Call", this is (in my professional opinion as a web developer) a poor design choice.... not that I'm very impressed with the GenCon web site...

    GenCon Indy - Breakfast! - looking suggestions from an Indy local

    I would suggest Le Peep at 301 N. Illinois Street (about 4 or 5 blocks from the Convention center). They serve both breakfast and lunch, and have a number of vegetarian selections. For something faster, there is an Einstein Brothers Bagels at 47 S. Illinois Street.

    Best way to store miniatures?

    Army Transport My partner went all-out for a mini case: The Army Transport. We first ran across it on the Reaper web site, then found one at our local game store. http://www.reapermini.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=RM&Category_Code=ACC-ARMY We also looked at the Battle...

    [GenCon] "(more) Road Construction News!" (Scouting and Info Within)

    Yeah, it's great... when it works. I will try to find more accurate prices later this week... I have to go downtown tomorrow afternoon, so I will take a spin around the area.

    [GenCon] "(more) Road Construction News!" (Scouting and Info Within)

    Re: Parking at GenCon Unfortunately, the public transportation system in Indianapolis is not what I would call convenient. Indy doesn't have a light rail system at this point, and the bus system is notoriously slow. If you are planning on staying outside of the downtown area, you will...

    Space Shuttle Columbia lost?

    CBS news just had a correspondant on who was talking about some damage to the shuttle that occurred while it was in orbit. NASA decided not to alter the re-entry procedures because they believed that the damage was minimal. It's possible that the damage was more extensive than they first...

    Thanks to everyone for the good suggestions! Keep 'em coming :) Thanks for the correction. I did mean "chaste" rather than "celibate".
