Time to plug my own workplace.

For spouses or those who want to see more of the city Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana offers walking tours of downtown Indianapolis on Fridays and Saturdays.

http://www.historiclandmarks.org/things/Public.html

We also have the Morris-Butler House, a Victorian House Museum, on the north side of downtown for those interested.

[Edit could someone please either let me know how to get in touch with the keeper or forward this to him. I couldn't find a email address on his page.]

GenCon is Eye Time!

Mystic Eye Games will be at Gen Con in force with five new products, give aways, demos, and lots more.

We will be running several sessions/demos a day at our booth, alternating between Giant Monster Rampage (1 and 2) battles and the first sneak peak at our upcoming game FALL OF MAN which will highlight the great, nasty combat and all new character types and features of this product, coming out for Christmas. Don't miss sitting in on these mini-adventure sessions.

We also have a couple of official games running but they are all already full. We may try to get some pick up games going.

Some of the cool goodies you will be able to pick up ONLY at the con are:

Fall of Man T-shirts (They are very cool)
Fall of Man toxic dice sets
MEG dice sets
Fall of Man, waste disposal dice bags
Hunt: Rise of Evil dice bags
(Free) Fall of Man "wish you were here" postcards.

The five products that will hit the con before anywhere else are:

Siege on Ebonring Keep for Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed
Artificer's Handbook
Giant Monster Rampage 2: World War
Player's Archive (the first 3.5 character record sheet and Journal)
World of Whitethorne: Hamlet of Thumble by Ed Cha

So make sure to pop on by and check out our booth. We are right next to the autograph area. Booth 1245!!!

Still got a couple of vacant slots plus plenty of room at the others for folks who still want to volunteer for Bastion Press help. I need to place the T-shirt order, so I need folks to volunteer (and let me know their T-shirt size) as soon as possible.

Vacant Slots:
Slot 8: Fri. 3:00 - 5:00pm
Slot 11: Saturday 1:00 - 3:00pm

Remember, you get free stuff for helping out...

Sniktch · Jul 12, 2003

Ghostwind, I'd be free to pitch in from 3-5 Friday; I'm signed up for All Flesh Must be Eaten during the Saturday slot, though. Size L is good for a T-Shirt for me - what other information do you need? I can be reached at sniktch2000NO@SPAMyahoo.com.

Ghostwind · Jul 12, 2003

Sniktch, I tried to email you but it came back. Drop me an email at creech@bastionpress.com with your real name so I can add you to the schedule. Thanks for volunteering!

Ghostwind · Jul 15, 2003

*bump*

Volunteers are still welcome...

Coik · Jul 15, 2003

Well, I would volenteer, but I don't know a dern thing about the product you want demoed, and I doubt I could stay in one place for two hours...

General question: Does anyone know where and when the KoDT Live Reading will be? I forgot to copy it down before I threw out my copy of the event listing, and the link on Gen Con's page is broken. Just do a search for "Knights of the Dinner Table" and it should pop up...

CaptainCalico · Jul 16, 2003

KODT live!

The KODT Live Reading will be in the Marriott Ballroom : Sections 1-2 Saturday 7pm-9pm.

If you registered then you can get locations when you view your event listings (the feature was "lost" when they revamped the GC website, but they put it back.)

Thanks, CC! Another excellent Gencon Scoop for the top of the thread!

(Drop by my message boards and register when you get the chance, please...)

CaptainCalico · Jul 16, 2003

I did

(I think a little pre-GC shopping spree is in order)

Wow. I hit the road in a week.

Wow.

Do most vendors at GenCon take credit cards? I saw the Finder's Page o' Tips that suggested traveler's checks, but the cc is so much easier...

Thanks,
Jason

No, I don't do event pre-reg, so that's not available to me. Particularly not this year. Ick. I can see wanting to make it a PDF, but make it so it's a bloody size where we can a) read it and b) don't have to scroll to see the entire event listing. That's why I want to to have the pre-reg book reintroduced, even if it means an additional fee to cover printing and postage...

Depends on the company. Most of the big boys will gladly take your plastic, but I've known quite a few smaller companies who can't afford it. If you want to do it mostly on credit, you can, but carry some traveller's checks, cash, or personal checks (in that order, based on ease-of-use and likelihood of acceptance) for impulse buys and the like.

Good news. No road construction for GenCon. The Hyperfix project that closed I-65/I-70 in dowtown Indianapolis is finished ahead of shedule.

http://www.indystar.com/print/articles/7/058782-6237-092.html

By finishing 30 days early they will be getting a $3.6 million bonus and we will have clear roads for GenCon.
