Re: anime query

Does anyone know if the 24hour anime room is going to be in the convention center proper this year, or will it still be in one of the hotels? If so which hotel?

Checking up on that question, I got this response from someone at Hades Pro: "Hades Pro does intend to be at this year's Gen Con in Indianapolis
this summer. Final details about where we will be at the con and the like
are still being ironed out with the event's organizers. We now have a
website located at www.hadespro.org that will be updated when we have more
information about our involvement at Gen Con this year."

I have heard that an anime club based in Indianna aslo wants to have an anime room, so there will be even more anime this year!

I've added an "Events" section to the first post for links not directly to the GenCon site that will have information on events at the con.

Something for the first post

From the GenCon Indy site: Online event registration begins on April 14th


(Event submission deadline is Friday March7)

Unofficial tip: Event listings will be available for viewing sometime in the next two weeks, before event reg opens.

[March 27 edit: added listing viewing note]

Auction update

Just FYI, if anyone here plans to sell at the auction this year, all your info is available at http://www.weekendwarrior.com/gencon2003main.html

And for the costume contest: http://www.gencon.com/display.aspx?file=indy-costume-contest

Generally speaking, how many days before the Event Registration begins can we view a list of available options? I saw CaptainCalico's post saying that it would be within the next two weeks (dated 3/27), but that takes us almost right up to April 14th. Any chance we'll have more than three or four days to peruse the list?

One other question -- how fast do Events usually get filled?

 

[CaptainCalico]

The person I contacted at GCLLC could not give a more specific date - depends on the programmers. I do see that they are moving servers on the 3rd - that might bode well for the listing being up soon....

As to how fast events fill up - really depends on the event and whats "hot" this year.

Thanks for the extra insight CC. I'll start watching the GenCon website to see when the Events are posted.

Last year, some of the "Living Force" (RPGA Star Wars) filled up quite quickly. I think some were sold out on the first day.

If you're really hot to get into something, try to register the first day. Most stuff is open for at least a few days, but you never can tell.... I plan on registering the first day, but if I don't--no big deal. I'm going to have fun, and I'm sure whatever I play will be fun. Last year I played D&D, CoC, Kobolds Ate My Baby!, Deadlands, The End, and maybe one other game.... And none of them were sold out right away.

We should look for a CoC game to all play in together.
