Tell Me About GENCON...

[Hand of Evil]

Quit apologizin' ya big lug! After all, I'm the one who is going to be gloating about getting to go to GenCon! Plus maybe I'll have some helpful tips to pass on to you next year since I'll be a "veteran" and all.

Trust me, you will not be a "veteran"

How about "non-newb"?

How many XP do I need to become a Veteran?

Very true HoE, it's my 6th GC, and I still feel like a n00b sometimes

Isn't Veteran the title you get as 3rd level fighter?

According to diaglo, "0".

For shame...

In '74 OD&D and 1E AD&D, the title is Swordsman
In '81 Moldvay Basic D&D it's Swordmaster (looks like the political correctness was already creaping in.)

My OD&D-fu is weak

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie-pop... Three.

The first one is the big city lights, it dazes you with its wonder and size, so much so that you either think it was the grandest thing or it rolls over you leaving you feeling lost (should not be a problem because you have guides).

The second one is the 'I know what to expect' but you notice all the things you missed the first time around, you learn the ins and outs.

The third one is the charm, you find your pace, you know what you want.

That was because of thes changes and them moving it to Indy.

Also this will be the first GC I try meeting up w/ online folks and socializing. The others were shopping and gaming.
