    It's my first time!

    You might want to call the hotel to make sure. I know that GenCon LLC isn't running shuttles out to the airport hotels this year, but I don't know about the individual hotels out there.

    Indianapolis Monthly Article on GenCon

    While killing time in line at the grocery last night, I scanned a copy of the August "Indianapolis Monthly" magazine. (It's a rather pretentious rag, but somewhat better than the tabloids.) There was a very long article about last year's GenCon, written by Tony Rehagen. A version of the...

    Newbie latecomer question

    You may be able to get into official events using Generic Tickets. IIRC, they're $1.50 per ticket. If there are no-shows, GMs running official events will take generic tickets from folks to fill their games.

    Hmmm... I've always found that reading ANYTHING in Call of Cthulhu is dangerous. (Particularly those volumns bound in exotic leather... eeeeeeeewwww!) But we'll see what we can do! ((Evil laughter fades away into an ominous silence. You are alone, or so you think.))

    Stocking an in-game library - give me cool titles and authors from your game!

    Noble Beasts of Khorvaire by Ellistan ir'Hevlan is a lavishly illustrated folio covering a selection of magical beasts and aberrations... unfortunately, the author included more myth and folklore than careful research, and is incorrect in many cases. One notable problem is the misidentification...

    How have you gotten rid of unwanted players?

    As a DM, I haven't had to eject a problem player from my games. As a player, there was one incident... and I'm not very proud of how it happened. The group in question was playing a very long-running 2nd edition D&D game, with a large number of players (at that time 9 + the DM, IIRC). One...
