Anyone going to Gamehole Con?

I crit!
How does it compare to Gencon? I went to that pre-COVID, but it’s never as RPG-centric as I’d like (though there’s still a lot). Is it still fun if I’m not able to sign up for any games?
Very rpg centric. Mostly so. It at one point rivaled GenCon for number of seats at the AL epic. At the same time it feels like a small con.

Finally it’s one of the best places to network if you want to meet industry folk. At the same time it’s super casual.

It's much smaller than Gen Con, but that's to it's advantage: you get to talk with the old school folks because it's much smaller. I don't think that Gen Con is very approachable given the size. And Gamehole Con is growing, too. It may get to be too big to have fun in a few years at the rate it's going. As for what to do: I think you can still get into some events. I know I have a couple of open slots that I will fill with games if friends don't take up my time. But if you can do it, put this on the docket for next year. There are a ton of events.

I’m considering going - I’ve never been before, and I won’t have as much free time in the coming years where I’m confident I’ll be able to go again anytime soon.
Sounds like there's no time like the present. They put on a well-run convention, heavy on the RPGs. If you're local enough to come check it out for just part of the weekend, I think you'll like what you see.

If anything I’ll be there on Thursday (maybe Sunday’s possible…) - I hope there’s as much going on that day.

Picked up my badge and my official D6.

I checked in right after the guy who runs the Adventurers League events. We used to work together. It had been a while!
