Easy. Follow the Balder's Gate III method. Important NPC allies and escort mission macguffan-folk set up at the party's base camp and aggressively hit on the PCs after several interactions. ;-)

Well I was in at exactly 12 noon Central and all 7 of the walking distance hotels on the mmxreservations site were already sold out.

WFRP 4e is set in the era of Karl Franz, pretty much same time period as 1e (this is a bit of inconsistency and retconning, 4e is set in 2501 whereas 1e was set around 2510-2512). The politics of this era feature heavily in The Enemy Within campaign books, which are an updated and added-to...

If you are willing to pay more, you can call the hotels directly. I was able to get a room at Home2 and use my Hilton Honors discount. Will be a suite instead of two rooms, so I'm getting one expensive one room for two couples (King bed and pull out queen) instead of two rooms. The price is...

Well that sucks. Gamehole Con said that the housing portal opens at noon. I go in exactly at noon, everything in walking distance is sold out. I refresh for a while, clear my cache and try again, try in another browser...all sold out. Either they already had the rooms for exhibiters etc., or by...

That's nice. Though, I would get a room when I went to Con of the North, even though I could drive home every evening if I wanted to. I like to be immersed in the con and stay up late and just walk to my room and go to bed. But Con of the North is held IN the hotel. At Gamehole Con, even most...

I chose a lot of options because the reasons have evolved over time. Initially, it was because my work caused me to move overseas, so it was the only way to keep playing with the group. That is still the case, but I came to like the features and functionality of VTTs for more battlemap focused...

Maybe not! https://www.completecompendium.com/appendix/grayphil/

Ah okay. Sorry, just moved here last spring. Only attended for the first time last year. Don't know much about its history or the organizers. But it was a goldilocks convention for me. Just the right size. Before that I only went to Con of the North, which I love, but it is small. Before 2014...

Looks like there are at least a few ENworlders who will be at Gamehole Con this year. I hope things work out for you to go. With the housing portal opening this weekend, I thought it was a good time to start a thread on Gamehole Con: https://www.enworld.org/threads/gamehole-con-2025-thread.712345

Yes, I love it when my failing memory can just be explained away by "well nobody knows for certain", "there are conflicting rumors", and the fact that it is more accurate that PCs would have a very limited, and often incorrect, understanding of history, wider politics, and distant cultures and...

Sorry, but who is Alex? I generally don't attend 5e games, but I've not played with the new rules, so I might sign up for at least one. My main problem with adventurer's league has been that I'm always playing a 1st-level character because I don't regularly play in AL games. I love the AL...

Anyone else hate the name "Gamehole" for a convention? :)

I should know better than to use the word "finally" in a post. Another thing I am wondering about are the recorded live plays. I attended a couple sessions last year. Some of them were very entertaining, but almost nobody attended them. I realize that most of their audience will be those...

For a serious post. Regarding housing, the hotels are all an easy walk to the con, some however require crossing very busy streets (very very busy during rush hours). If you have mobility issues, you can still drive and park and they are opening up a whole new parking lot this years, so...

Thought I I would start a thread here in the hopes other ENworlders attend Gamehole Con to discuss the con. Since the housing portal opens soon, I thought I would start this thread by recommending that everyone take it easy, sleep in late on Sunday, and be ready to book your rooms Sunday...

Just ordered a pineapple pizza to be delivered to my family, while I'm in a different state. The above sentence is likely to be interpreted very differently by different participants in this thread. 1. So sad. You didn't get any of that pineapple pizza. 2. How nice of you to arrange a tasty...

@Ruin Explorer and @el-remmen already covered in detail many of my feelings. I'll add that for me, personally, I can enjoy being a player in canon-heavy IP TTRPG. From my perspective as a player, it is no different than a GM who has a detailed world her or she created from scratch. Just let me...

Copacetic

Yep! Quite a few of us in rubber‑binder land. Although I now live a state over in the land of water bubblers, beer-cheese soup, and da turdy point buck.
