How do I love GenCon? Let me count the ways!

[Crothian]

Pickup games are free. A game that you would sign up for on the Gen Con website will cost $1.50/ticket (unless it's something like D&D for cash or True Dungeon).

so I should give back all the money I earned???

 

[Crothian]

True Dungeon is - without a doubt - worth your $20/ticket. It is an aboslute BLAST.

Or not. I don't think it was worth 20 bucks

It probably depends on who you do it with. How many people make up a group? If it's you and 4 strangers, that would suck. But if was you and 4 friends and a bottle of Jack, it would be a blast.

I don't think I'll be signing up for any official games next year. I think I'd have a lot more fun with pick-ups. Especially after this year.

Agreed. Why game with strangers, who might smell/act any which way, when you could game with cool people you know?

I'm already planning my pick-up game for next year now... I'll be writing to the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce for a set of maps tomorrow.

I was paid 50 bux a week for 6 weeks one summer to run a 2 hour/week session for a bunch of kids at a summer school program. That rawked. Just a 2 hour hack'n'slash where they had to learn to rely on each other or have the monsters eat their heads. EZ money.

Wizards pays me in product to run games for kids and newbies at my local FLGS.

Of course this may have something to do with the olfactory qualities of the fellow with whom you were forced to work.

7 people. I had to deal with stupid 10 year old and a smelly gamer.

You're supposed to have 7 in a group. Fighter, Paladin, Bard, Wizard, Cleric, Ranger, and Rogue. I've never done it without at least a few friends, and that definately adds to the fun factor.

We went through both dungeons this year and it was awesome (possibly made moreso because we survived through the second one... Saturday night there was a 7% survival rate. We rock!)

Sweet! We should get a group or two of just EN Worlders together for next year. Let the bickering begin!
