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

[Buttercup]

So for someone like me who does not know what exactly that means, what exactly does that mean?

I'm not sure it means much of anything. GenCon is still fairly new to Indy, and Peter Adkison keeps trying new things every year. I certainly wouldn't assume there is any ulterior motive behind it.

Last year there were tables set up in the lobbies and common spaces of all the hotels which were near the convention center. Finding a place to play a pick-up game won't be all that difficult.

I'm going to have to pull out of all of my games. The exams for my Monday/Wendesday and Tuesday/Thursday night classes got pushed back to Wendesday and Thursday the week of the con so I won't be making it to Gencon.

I see. I'll go and remove your name from the Ennies booth volunteer list then. Glad I popped into this thread, or I wouldn't have known.

It just means that they sold the space to exhibitors, I'd wager. I doubt there'll be "game police" coming around to break up non-feepaying games or anything.

As others have said, this is nothing to worry about, and not an anti-free gaming conspiracy.

After all, it's not a conspiracy unless it involves obelisks on the moon and the Council on Foreign Relations.

I concur. Of course, I am wearing my tinfoil hat right now......

To Buttercup and CL...

Are we going to finish that sewage crawl?

I'm sorry about not cross-posting Buttercup. I'm not sure what was going through my mind.

I heard that putting the foil on your *lampshades* is actually the best way to deflect mind control rays. Seriously - I did hear that.

I love www.coasttocoastam.com .

Is anyone interested in my Sunday morning HARP game? If not, I may not bother to bring my HARP books. Trying to figure out what all I'm gonna take. (It's getting close!!)

Of course, I could just leave them in the room, versus wagging them around all over the place.

Is anyone even going to be there Sunday morning?

I'll definately be there that day but I'm minding the ENWorld Booth in the morning. I was leaving the afternoon open on the off chance that Piratecat might be running a game then...

Right. It just means there isn't extra space in the main Exhibit Hall itself. At least two years ago they had an entire extra room set aside for open gaming. Not sure about last year or this year, but I suspect there will be plenty of open tables here and there -- might still take some coordinating to make sure people meet up in the right spot
