Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dagger75" data-source="post: 934159" data-attributes="member: 539">Lets see for me last time I went to Dragon Con... Was unemployed so I had limited funds.   Stayed with Friends in hotel room, Cost about $100. The room was split 3 ways. Gas, had a Van 5 people drove up in it though, needed to fill up twice. But the driver got a speeding ticket. I gave $20 to help cover the cost. Preregsitered: Did that, Saved cash. $60 bucks sounds right. I did mine threw ticketmaster BTW and the line was hella shorter than the Dragon Site Pre reg. Your Milage may very here but Prepay. Food- I suffered and only ate 1 day.  That was like McDonalds or delivery to the hotel.  Say spent like $80 all weekend.  Again I was unemployed so I was used to not eating much.  Ohh I also bought Pop Tarts for breafast each morning and brought them to the con. I also played a lot of RPGA when there, at 2 bucks a pop this cost me like $40 by itslef.   I also bought the Manuel of Planes Aprrox $30 For me about $350 all weekend for an out of state con.  That sounds about right.  Thats what i usally spend going out of town for cons. Now advice: First for Dice- DO NOT BRING YOUR WHOLE DAMN COLLECTION!!!!!  Bring 1 complete set. Nothing I hate more than sitting at a table and some joker opens up a back pack full of dice.  The goes through the whole thing to look for a set that matches. Took him an hour.(I am not kidding, on person had 1 backpack for dice. Not a Dragon Con though)  Books if you aint running and just plan on playing 3e D&D. Travel light.  Just bring the 3 Core books..  Travel light. For RPGA events I had to bring a few more but I only brought what I knew I would use.  If you are going to play Shadowrun or what not just bring the one main book.  These are not campigns you will be playing in, they are oneshots.  Travel light.  Did I mention to travel light.  You don't need your whole RPG collection. TRY A DIFFERENT GAME!!!  Try something you would never buy in the store.  You like making fun of Mage Knight players but never actually played the game.  Go try it out.  Some of the most fun I have had at cons is trying the stuff I thought would be stupid. Well I hope this helps.</blockquote>
