So let's talk seriously about scheduling ENWorlder games at GenCon...

[Henry]

A note for anyone going to Gencon and reading this thread:

Rel's Orcz! and Sky Galleons Games are two of the most fun convention games I've ever played in my life - hands down, including RPGA, D&D, and Arcana Unearthed. If you can get in on one of Rel's games, do it. NOW.

I won't be going to Gencon, but I'm wishing all you guys both a safe trip and some fun times.

= What if we did the Sky Galleons game on Saturday night?

What time are you thinking? An evening game after 8pm would work for me no problems. Of course, I'll have to eat at some point as well.

8:00 should work fine. That will give us some wiggle room and time for dinner after the Round Robin game. I'm going to get a sign up sheet going as soon as I can enlist some Mod help.

And thanks for the compliments, Henry. That means a lot coming from a GM who I respect and admire.

Sky Galleons has piqued my interest - I'd like to participate in that game as well.

Rel - d20 or d6 Star Wars?

d20. I never owned the d6 system, though I've heard it mentioned a lot.

I wish I was going. I'll get to GenCon before I die- I swear!

Jeez, you're not that far away. According to Google it's only 2.5 hours away. You could leave Saturday morning and drive up and spend most of the day there, and drive back that night. You could even sign up for a game or two. Or just call in sick on Friday if you're weekend is booked.

Distance has never been the issue. Time, money and a wife who thinks I shouldn't game let alone go to a convention are. I have a son who is 13 months now so that makes it even harder.

I went to Gen Con in '03 with a 3 month at home. It's just a day!!

Gas would cost you @ 25 mpg for 230 miles (there and back) around $19 (9.2 gallons). A 1 day badge (pre-ordered) is $23. You can buy lunch at the McDonalds nearby for say, $6.

23+19+6 = $48. So, if you don't buy anything in the dealer floor (it's fun to just look), you could get to Gen Con for less than $50. If you're wife loved you, she'd let you come.

I'm jealous. I'm flying to Gen Con, and getting a hotel room. I *wish* I could go to Gen Con for $50. Man.
