Gen Con - Good bad and ugly

[devilbat]

Oh, I forgot to post a couple of bads"

- White Castle. I like burger joints, but I have never eaten in a place that serves grey/pink meat hamburgers, and that makes one's belly both swell and complain immediately after consumption. I've waited years to try White Castle, after hearing it repeatedly mentioned in Beastie Boys songs. It was not worth the wait.

- Homeless looking dude trying to sell a four day badge. I regret not asking him how much he wanted for it, but I was too busy laughing when he approached me and asked if I was interested. I just kept picturing the poor nerd that was rolled for his badge by this guy.

There's a reason they are commonly called, "Sliders"...


(Personally, I don't care for onions and since they make everything on the same flat grill, I've never cared for White Castle.)

Woot! I'll add this to my Palm Pilot for next year. My biggest problem with GenCon thus far has been trying to eat well on a budget. This will be a bug help. Thanks!

Come for the free breakfast at the Embassy Suites -- they don't check to see if you're actually a guest. By the time I left, half of Gencon was eating breakfast there. Yeah -- the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced I need to run a Gamma World Escape From the Embassy Suites scenario at next year's con.

Can I play a mutated, bipedal, walking, talking alligator who, shall we say, "expels" radioactive gas? Pretty please!?!?!?!

Yah at the very least stop somewhere on the way to stock up on some goodies. I guess that the convention hall technically has a ban on outside food but I have never seen anyone get spoken to about it so the laws are pretty lax and unenforced. My guess is that there are enough people who are actually buying the food that it is not that big of a deal.

Oh, one thing that I wanted to pick up (but was too late for) was a set of tact-tiles. Though I got the website and can just order them at will, I suppose.

Or do like some of us do for Dragoncon: raid the local grocery store before you leave and take a cooler and microwave to save on food costs. It's usually cheaper too. And saves one from getting lost trying to find a grocery store there.

Why does everyone always wamt to play a mutant animal? Humanoids are more powerful.

This would be hysterical. Save a spot in your game for me!

Done! This should be an easy game. Outside of downtown, Indianapolis already seems a little post-apocalyptic.

 

[RangerWickett]

I'd be interested too.

The hardest part of the adventure will come when Stuart makes us navigate the IndyGo mass transit system. Clever of you to pick up those "DM Research Pamphlets" you were reading through at PKitty's game.

On Sunday I used the stairs up and down to the 13th floor more than once. The elevator motor burning up leaving them with only two main elevators (not counting the service elevator) didn't help matters at all.
