Well, unsurprisingly, there is apparently no Shadowrun Trading Card Game happening (officially) at GenCon.
But some of us still love the game. Myself and fellow DSer Jack Robustus will be playing SRTCG from Midnight on Friday night in my room at the Hilton. We'd love to have a larger game. If anyone else is interested in joining us, let me know. We will also have lots of spare decks (though if you are responding to this post, you probably don't need one). Editing time and location into this first post by request/for easy reference: Downtown Hilton Circle City 3 is the room. Friday night from 2300 to Saturday morning at 0700 - and if anyone actually stays up and plays that long I'll...well, I won't do anything cuz I will be in bed before then! The above information is CONFIRMED as of 8/12/08. This post has been edited by adamu: Aug 12 2008, 12:12 PM

I believe that I'd be down for this. We shoul dmove it to tables in some hotel or another though if there seems to be enough interest (I'll make Bull come along too... plus at least 1 more guy who plays in my local group might be down for this.)
I'll bring enough cards to build a few extra decks. |

A few of the peeps i'll be there with may be down as well. |

Died dead in its tracks right after the first booster series came out. I wept and gnashed my teeth, heart aching for the (planned) second series of cards. As I said, we will have many a deck to share. |

As I said, we'll be at the Hilton - it's my first GenCon - how amenable is the staff to giving us a space with tables in the wee hours after the official events are over? As for building extra decks - since the idea is not to start until Midnight, it might be better to have pre-built some extras, which we plan to do, just to save time! |

But if that is an invitation/challenge, PM me with how to get started... Not necessarily a challenge, as I've never actually played via computer, not to mention I haven't played the actual card game in about 8 years or so. But check this place out. It is a site that hosts all kinds of games, and with a little digging can tell you more than I could. Then get back to me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

We were playtesting Corp War and having a lot of fun with it when it got cancelled, and I'm really sad that I lost the playtest files for them years ago (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) |

My friend boost and I would like to play, at least for a while (we gm SR at 8am the next morning). I have many multiple decks, as well as instructions. And one of every card published.
It's a great game! I think it's as close to the tabletop game as a cardgame can be. Where exactly are we meeting at the Hilton? |

QUOTE (Alicia daughter of Alachia @ Apr 23 2008, 11:12 PM) Where exactly are we meeting at the Hilton? Well, it WAS going to be in my room, but judging by the response we have gotten so far on this thread, even if half of you get lured away to bars or other nefarious pursuits, we might have too many for that. I am currently looking into alternatives, such as Caine suggested. It's my first GenCon - if anyone is hip to tips on getting a small space with a table or two, do speak up. One way or another - Cards On! |

AND...He's back 15 minutes later with a big conference room reserved at the Hilton. I asked for three tables that seat six each for starters, but I can up that if I need to (doubt it'll come to that, but would hate to turn anyone away).
I'll have the exact room number up once the paperwork goes through, and it will also be listed publicly with the hotel. |

I'm surprised the hotel has conference rooms available.

Because of the enormous demand for events during peak hours, when you get off-peak, there's almost always space available.

Not unless GenCon LLC reaches out with some mysterious Orwellian hand and sucks me into its orbit. Just a couple guys who love SRTCG wanting to get a good multi-player game going. There will be a room to do it at the Hilton from around midnight on Friday. Details to follow, everyone welcome, decks provided, all free of charge. |

Yeah, if you're booking the rooms through the hotel, it's a private thing, and not a Gen Con thing.
Sounds good. I think I have a bunch of sealed packs kicking around from when StiggyBaby's was going out of business a couple years ago and selling boxes for like 10 bucks each (And I'm kicking myself hard for not buying a LOT more). I'll bring them along, maybe we can give em out as door prizes to folks who show, or maybe we can do a mini tourney or something. Fun fact... The way I got involved with running events for FASA and Shadowrun back in the day was running a SRTCG tourney at Origins. Prize was a complete set of cards with a card box decorated by Mike "Skuzzy" Nielson and a bunch of signed cards (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) If you can find out which conference room ahead of time,l that would be a big help. And I'm sure Caine and I can arrange for Bull's Rolling Bar & Grill to make an appearance. In fact, at Midnight on a Friday, I think it's mandatory! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) <grin> We should also make this the semi-official Dumpshock Meet & Greet, if that's cool. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Bull |

I wouldn't mind buying a few of 'em off ya, Bull, just to have my own deck (or whatever) to take home at the end of the day, and rub in my friend's noses.
I mean, just to have my own deck to take home at the end of the day, and cherish forever. |

Hrm won't be going to Gencon but about stiggybaby having SRTCG on sale they still do and I believe they got stock in. I picked up a box of starters, box of boosters from base set and then a box of underworld for $110 plus shipping to the UK but still was fairly cheap. Link spoilered below
