GaryCon '22 Planning

[Kannik]

This is just a post to self-remind to work check into attending and playing in a ENWorld special game! And perhaps with a friend in tow!

I'll work this out over the next week or so and be able to give a more set in stone answer.

Just got my badge! So count me in.

I will prod my friend and get back to you on that front soon...

 

[Sacrosanct]

Got my badge. Submitted my events. Crossing fingers

 

[Retreater]

Got my badge at noon. I didn't submit any events though.

 

[Sacrosanct]

I have three events submitted: a 4hr session where I will be GMing Chromatic Dungeons Fri, Sat, and Sunday. If you're familiar with TSR (the original TSR, not the nu-TSR) era D&D, you'll pick up the rules super fast. Pregens will be provided, so you can easily just step up to the table, roll some dice, and probably have your PC die

 

[Kannik]

I didn't submit any events; amazingly, despite playing for some 36+ years, and so wanting to go to Gencon back in those early years, this will be my first attended full-fledged gaming con. (I might also dart out of the convention for an afternoon to visit some architectural sites )

Hotels went up yesterday, and I snagged a room luckily. A few of my friends are deciding to come along as well.
I admit I'm nervous because of the Delta variant, but I'm hoping for the best.

Unfortunately and due to France's travel restrictions to<>from USA I will not be attending Garycon, that and due to some very urgent writing deadlines that came up as well. I wish you attenders all the best and hope that this settles out for next year. --- RJK

 

[Retreater]

Understandable, @Rob Kuntz . I'd love to meet some ENWorlders for a game, regardless.

 

[Ralif Redhammer]

I was surprised to snag a Grand Geneva hotel room. Fully expected the worst case scenario going into it.

I hope we're in a better place in six months' time, but considering how this year went, there's no guarantee of that. The announcement of mask and vaccination (though allowing for a negative covid test in lieu of that isn't my favorite thing) requirements this week is encouraging, at the least.

Awww, that's unfortunate. All the best and be well!

Here's hoping we can still get an ENWorld meetup/game of sorts going.

We ultimately decided to punt on it for 2022. We thought that the relative lack of accessibility for the resort would just make GaryCon 2022 too difficult for my long-haul COVID suffering wife.
Though we did decide to stop renting wheelchairs on one-off dates and just buy one for more flexibility. So that will help for some things and might facilitate a day drop-in on Saturday. Who knows?

Gonna focus on GameholeCon in the meantime. Signed up to run some of the Ravenloft-based Adventurer's League sessions.

Hey everybody. This weekend, I'm getting ready to register for events for myself and my two friends coming from Kentucky. Any ENWorlder plans? Anybody want to hook up for some gaming?

 

[Sacrosanct]

I would love to hook up for gaming. I've got my events still open for my Chromatic Dungeons sessions (Castle Amber using CD rules)

Great. I hope they're still open when events open for us this weekend

 

[MGibster]

When is Morrus-con and will he let us crash on his couch?

 

[darjr]

This is where I’m going to back out. My Son is coming home that weekend and I haven’t seen him in years. Apologies. I’m going to miss meeting y’all.

 

[Ralif Redhammer]

Event registration was relatively painless this weekend. I'm particularly excited for the following:

Reading the DMG Aloud, by the Plot Points podcast
Tegel Manor 1984, run by Jeff Goad of the Appendix N Book Club podcast on Thursday
Dark Souls: What Remains in the Fire (I forget which slot...there's about a thousand of them)
Chromatic Dungeons run by our very own @Sacrosanct on Saturday

After the pandemic scuppered my first attempt at Gary Con, I'm looking forward to finally getting to go...assuming some new terrible variant doesn't come up in the next month.

 

[Retreater]

Yeah, I got the cheap-o badge, so event registration hasn't opened for me yet, so I'll try to get what I can when it opens this weekend.

Wow! Good ones!

Ima gunna live vicariously through y’all.

I registered for events last week. I am a forever DM so I play only at GaryCon. Have a very nice mix of 5e, ASSH, DCC, Traveller and Call of Cthulhu games set up.

If you are a silver badge holder, I see the that there is space in some Empire of the Petal Throne games being run by players from the original campaign.

Lots of other quirky goodness still open.
