My Gen Con Query

[Alcareru]

I must admit, after being a gamer geek and a Midwesterner, Ive never gone to Gen Con. I live in Indiana and now the chance to go seems like to good an opportunity to pass up. Indy is only 2 to 3 hours away. I dont feel I have an excuse. I almost went last year.

Then I heard and read the check in and reg nightmare stories.

So Gen Con vets-what are your opinions? I have several months to arrange vacation time and pre -reg, but do think it will be better? Was last year a hiccup or has Gen Con been in decline?

Opinions appreciated. Thanks.

If you pre-reg there is really no problem. The line and horror occured for those that didn't prereg.

To be honest, everything I've heard and seen indicates that the horrors of the neverending lines were a hiccup.

For one thing, it didn't really occur until around Saturday. I was in a few lines on Thursday and it wasn't all that bad.

Also, Peter Adkison wrote a post-con report which mentioned the lines and such, and admitted that this was an error on their part. Since it was the #1 complaint about the Con, he said it would be addressed this year, and I for one believe him.

I've loved every Gen Con I've been to. Last year was no exception, and I'm sure this one won't be either.

Pre register and you'll be fine. It was a great time and I expect this year to be even better.
