First GenCon thread of 2004

I'll be there, and actually the later date will help me a bit.

I'm running a Texas Holdem poker game where the players put up 50 dice each in stakes. Someone's gonna take home a boatload of dice.

I'm also thinking of running a D&D game but haven't decided what type of adventure to run. If anybody wants to play I'd be willing to take requests

Also thinking of running the Circus Imperium boardgame, though I bet someone else will as well.

The poker game sounds great! Is each die's value based on the numbers of sides, how cool it looks, or are they all equal in value when wagering?

I will be there again, and for me the change in dates is actually a good thing. Our family vacations around the 4th of July each year, and using time off from work two weeks apart doesn't go over very well...and puts me behind the Eight Ball heading into August.

It was great meeting so many friends from the Boards in person, and I look forward to some pick up games myself this time around!!

I'll be there as well, and this year, I want a spot in one of P-Kitty's games!

I want a spot as well! Piratecat owes me a Paranoia game that never happened!

Maybe he can run a "Library Folks" game?

I was suprised by the number of kids at Gen Con last year. That was my first time at Gen Con, so I don't know if it was always that way. Origins here in Columbus doesn't seem to have as many children percentage wise as Gen Con did.

it was always that way. well at least the ones i attended back in the 80's.

i've got your 50 lbs. of dice and i'll raise you 35 lbs. more.

sounds like just the game i want in on.

<making sure I have at least 3/4 cover before asking my questions....>

Ok, while I've RPGed for over 10 years, I've never made it to GenCon. Either funds were too low, I missed the date, or I lacked a babysitter (my beautiful children are evil enough to make Satan run in terror, so I wouldn't be wanting to wreak havoc on other people by bringing them).

Anyway, so forgive me for asking, but....what's the dates this year? And what is the website for it (I'm assuming such a big event has one)?

And, most importantly, if I come, how do I get in on that Poker game? I've been dying to play Poker forever, but no one likes to play cards where I live I wouldn't mind carrying an extra 100lbs of dice home with me
