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

[Majoru Oakheart]

Well, I am heading to GenCon as well, for the first time ever. I'm sure I'd love to run into some people. Although, I'm not really sure what I'm doing there, I'm trying to get into a couple Living Greyhawk games, but I'm planning my con schedule within the next couple of days, so nows the time to tell me stuff I'm supposed to play in.

*grin*

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.

I've done the math before. Many times. And I would buy stuff and probably spend money getting event tickets. So, it would definitely reach closer to $100 than to $50. It will happen, just not this year. Thanks for the moral support though!

Yes, but you're posting in the pick-up games thread. These games are free!

Wouldn't that just be awesome! Here I was excited to get tickets for The_Universe and I for less than $400.

I'm glad that we're both gamers...

Also - Rel - though I can't say anything for certain, I may be up for Star Wars depending on when it's being played. Mmmm... Star Wars.

Scheduling? IME, GenCon games need to be a bit more fluid.

Still, I need to settle on a few things like which games I actually will run...

I'm not trying (or encouraging) to plot out an intenerary for every moment of my trip. But I am trying (and sort of encouraging) scheduling a few games here and there as a way of sorting out what time I have free for true pickup games, cruising the convention halls and helping out with the booth.

For those already in the mix, I've added a schedule to the first post. Feel free to post about games you wish to run or play.

Queen_Dopplepopolis, is there a time in particular in which you would prefer to play Star Wars? So far, I'm wide open for Thursday and Friday.

i have no idea when i'll be available. keep me in mind for last minute pickup games and such!

I'd love to actually play some games this year while I am at Gen Con. The Sky Galleon sounds very cool. I'd also be willing to run a couple of pick-up games. I can run a session or two of Where Dark Elves Rule: The Director's Cut along with a session of one of my campaigns that I run at work called Taken by the Storm. Buttercup plays in that one and she can tell you what a blast it can be (both figuratively and literally).

While scenario details are still fluid, I'm going to be running a session of Barsoomcore's Gun-Fu minigame, probably later on Thursday, about 6ish. If possible I'd like to find time to run a CoC d20 scenario.

Also count me in on Sky Galleons of Mars, and der_kluge's round robin game.
