[GenCon] "(more) Road Construction News!" (Scouting and Info Within)

[RodneyThompson]

Alright, I've e-mailed them. Last year I had to be super shady to get online. One morning the free e-mail machines running Windows 2000 were down, so I unplugged the ethernet from one and into my laptop. DHCP worked, and I was able to download AOL (blech, regional ISP wasn't available in Milwaukee). If ICC is wireless capable, that would make my day. It would be SO much easier to update the site, check e-mail, etc. and keep in touch with others at the convention.

I sent a reply asking if there was a way to only view the new listings - otherwise it would be such a pain to try and sift through is all again.....

Update: Got a quick reply (guess folks are back from GCE) There will be something called a "Feature List) that will highlight these new additions............

Off topic, and I don't know if it's been posted. But I'm trying to spread the word to games

Construction in Indy this summer. Bascially all interstates downtown are closed/highly restricted.

Spread the word

Update

Well the seminars are up. Nice selection, filled in a lot of white space on my schedule I suggest using the seminar-only Excel file for ease of handling.

 

[RodneyThompson]

Hm, well, my schedule is now packed. It's interesting to note, though, that there still aren't a lot of WotC sponsored seminars, whereas last year they were almost ALL WotC sponsored. This year my ticket's full with Malhavoc and The Game Mechanics seminars.

Hey Mark!

Something for the first post - I have informal word from Z-man Games that will indeed be hosting another Hong Kong Action Theatre at GenCon this year. A notice should be up on their website soon.

So much to do, so little time......

we're bringing the gelflings!

Also, are any other dealers bringing their children? We are bringing our 1 and 2 year olds (and a sitter of course). It might be cool to have a kid play time for dealers and maybe event goers, too. Paladinwife

We're bringing our two daughters, ages 8 & almost-12.

duplicate post, sorry

I missed this when it got added by you. Must be slowing down in my dotage...! Got any more info like links and such? (Thanks, CC!)

Nothing major, but zmangames did update their website to include this:

Schedule of Events:

Hong Kong Action Movie Room! Our 4th annual screening of some of the best HK movies around. Due to last year's demand, Shaolin Soccer will be shown twice! For our Grave Robbers from Outer Space fans we will have a Saturday midnight showing of Army of Darkness. For Gaming fans, we will have several showings of The Gamers, a short film about an RPG group and their alter egos. Hilarious!
Here is a short list of the movie being shown (full list and schedule times will be posted in late June or early July)

Last Hero in China
