EN World Gen Con Gathering??

[Negative Zero]

it occurs to me today that, since i'd only decided to go a few weeks ago, and only found out that i'd actually be able to go a few days ago, that i might have a problem with the badge. problem being that i don't have one. now i've seen on the website, that altho registration is currently closed, it'll reopen on the wednesday eve before the Con. but i'm not sure if i should be worried about availability.

can someone who knows more about this chime in, please? is there a finite number of badges that could "run out" before i make it there sometime thursday afternoon? am i garunteed to get in? or get left at the hotel? someone? anyone?

I'm pretty sure you'll be able to buy admission at the door; however, preregistering makes it a bit cheaper.

At least, that's what I THINK happens. This is my first GenCon too.

Morrus.. or indeed anyone else from teh UK flying over..
When are you flying over, myself and and buddy are going form Heathrow at about 10am on the Wednesday, anyone else the same?

Flying to New York the week before so that I can track Nemm down and stalk him. Then, after Gen Con, I'm going to Chicago so that I can track Mark down and stalk him. While actually at Gen Con, I intend to stalk Eric and PC. Eric won't be able to hear me creeping up on him because he accidentally stuck a tree branch in his ear today and ruptured an ear drum.

See i always knew Morrus was a nice guy.

Negative Zero, there should be no problem with badges. They have always had plenty, and expect to sell badges even on sunday. Your real problem may be hotel space, if you don't have a reservation yet.

I too will be there! My wonderful husband forgot to add my name to his post Oh what the heck, we've only been married for 9 years...I can't really expect him to remember my name...can I?

I'm married? Oops, forgot. (What? I have kids too!? Yikes...) The little gargoyles won't be going to this GenCon though. Maybe when their saving throws vs sleep, hunger and crankiness are a bit better I'll take them along.

thanks much Moridin and thalmin. that's a bit of a relief i've already got the hotel taken care of. (it's great to have generous friends! ) i've only seen the one price for the badges on the web site tho. i'd kinda expected there to be a higher price for not pre-registering ... or is the $60/4 day pass, the higher price?

Morrus,

Fortunately I know the facility fairly well. I think it would probably be easiest to just have everyone stay at the 3rd Floor stage outside the Exhibition Hall.

There are rooms nearby for open gaming (or were last year). Those might work out, but we might get some complains if 100 of us show up.

Any chance that you could ask Peter Adkison or someone with Gen Con for a large room?

 

[RodneyThompson]

I paid $52 or so for my 4-day pass, so I guess $60 is the higher price that you pay at the door.

very cool! thanks Moridin.
