[QUOTE="Buttercup, post: 2026713, member: 990"] Pretty quickly. But it doesn't matter, because see my response to number 3. Embassy Suites has a free breakfast buffet and happy hour every day, which can save you a bundle if you're a big eater and not too picky. If you're a foodie though, skip it because the vittles are mediocre at best. I strongly recommend staying close by rather than miles away. There are more than enough hotel rooms in walking distance from the convention center that this should be no problem. This is the best part. My recommendation is to plan a one-shot and post here to get a roster of players before you go. If enough of us prepare a game, we should all have plenty of options as players too! Share and share alike, eh? First off, don't be shy! If you think it would be fun to go to dinner with a bunch of EN World folks, don't wait for them to invite you, find a restaurant, pick a time and start asking the people whose company you want. This goes for gaming, sight-seeing and everything else too. You'll have the most fun if you take the initiative. Second, find out when WotC is having their party, and go get some swag! Last year they gave away nice posters, tote bags and t-shirts. Third, do not miss the dealer hall, and bring cash. The convention center charges vendors for every little thing, so many small publishers cannot afford to pay for the capability to accept credit cards. There are cash machines at the convention center, but these have been known to run out. [/QUOTE]
