[QUOTE="Ralif Redhammer, post: 8531175, member: 30438"] Though Wizards doesn't have an official presence, you won't lack the opportunity to do D&D-related stuff. Adventurers League games are always available by the hundreds. I wouldn't neglect the seminars, and The Gamers Live is an absolute must. So funny. The dealers room is massive and overwhelming - if you can avoid doing so, schedule your time there across two days, rather than trying to do it all at once. Cosigned. Especially the shoes. Wear good sneakers or get some good insoles. My first Gen Con I did in plain old Converses and that was a learning experience, shall we say. If where you're staying has a refrigerator, I recommend bringing your own food so you don't have to eat out every meal. Something like a pasta (or some sort of grain - I go with quinoa for cons) salad that can be eaten cold and quickly. It'll be cheaper and sometimes you don't have the time to wait for food between events. Another life- (and penny-) saver for me is the Bobble, or its knockoffs.
