God I hate you all for being able to go to this. It has been far too long since my last Gen Con. Is the Indy sight that much better than the old one?

Drogos: Heh. Dunner covered the basics. For myself, I go to see folks, shop, hang out, and drink. Not necessarily in that order (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Really, the con is all about what you want out of it, and what you're willing to put into it. Doc: Yeah, I like Indy a lot better. Tons of places to eat within a block or two, many very reasonably priced. A lot more space. And a LOT more hotel space (Though close and decent hotel space space is usually sold out within 30 minutes of registration going live these days *sigh*). |

Well, as I said, I wil be going to an unrelated event in the city and will likely only spend a day there. Meet some new folks (maybe some of the nice ones on here) and geek out a little bit. I'm hoping the GF gets on the ball with her gaming...she's getting there, but I'm not sure if she's geek enough to handle GenCon. We shall see (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

Question from noobie GenCon first-timer -
I noticed that the event schedule is up. But I also read a reference on Dunner's CGL SR event schedule that registration will "go live" in late April. Does that mean what I think it means, that there is not yet any way to sign up for these events? And if it does open up in "late April", will there be some sort of warning bell on the GenCon site or something - some way for me to know exactly when it will start so I can be at my computer poised to get into the games I want? Sorry to ask silly questions - I am new at this, and organizationally challenged, to boot. |

Yeah I clearly recall commuting vast distances to get to the old Gen Con. I can't wait till I get back stateside. Has the Con gotten any bigger (as far as attendance) or is it about the same?

Ummm - okay - please ignore my question two posts above - overcame my panic at missing the beginning of registration enough to actually go to the Gencon site and have my question clearly answered -
sorry to be a neurotic pest. |

Don't sweat it. The Gencon site has a ton of information on it, and can be a little overwhelming to new visitors. It's a big-ass 'con!

...shoot, if it were still at its previous (pre 2003) location, I wouldn't have to worry about a hotel, and could even get a direct nonstop flight with comfy seating (yay Midwest Air). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif)

All four of my Dark Heresy sessions sold out in the first day of registration being open. |
