Well I'll be missing the Meet & Greet this year, step-daughters wedding in Oct so while we can't afford a hotel room for the four days, we'll be down Sat and Sun, staying with my stepson in the outskirts of Indy.

Just an FYI for folks, but right now me and a buddy have some extra sleep-space in our hotel room, especially on Friday and Saturday nights (another freelancer is crashin' with us Wed-Thu, but then he's got to jet back home for the weekend).
So if anyone's looking for a spot, and is cool with a rollaway bed or a couch or something to crash on, just holler. We're at the Fairfield Inn (by Marriott), which is pretty close to the action, but the more the merrier, to defray the room costs a bit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

Just remember to keep me in the loop about any SR games you sign up for. I want to be able to say "I was there when CanRay got to play," and tell my grandchildren about the glory of the slung dice. |

I would totally have taken you up on that Critias, about 8 years ago, but for some reason my wife has strange ideas of sharing a hotel room with strange people. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif)

Doesn't look like I'll be making it this year. :/ I'll have to start saving for next year's festivities.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif) Well, we don't want an uncomfortable wife! At any rate, I think we're all booked up at this point...I've got four people there the first two nights, and three of us the last two, so I'm not sure we wanna cram in too many more. I get the hotel cost defrayed a little bit, and other gamers get a roof over their head instead of trying to sleep in hallways or something. Everyone wins. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

Hotel room for the wife and I are booked as well. Looking forward to a meet up and several good days of gaming. Anyone running a pickup game on Wednesday?

Got to wait and find out when I'm running official demos.I think I'll only be doing pick-up games this year. Not sure how well I'll handle GenCon. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dead.gif) |

Count us in for two... Would that convincing need food, drink or begging?

Y'all know I'm game, too. My plane lands around 4:00, so I should be in the clear by an hour or so after that. Just lemme know when, where, and what bribes to bring. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I'm looking forward to my fifth year of missions and the scramble and my second year of the tournament! This also marks the first year of the girlfriend attending Gen Con with me...lets see if I finally scare her away! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
I should be up by dinner time Wednesday and probably be looking to play in something, I'll at least stop in at Claddagh! |

I'm down for a quick game, I've no suggestions for location though. Also as I'm not sure when I'm getting in Wednesday (or at this point how I'm getting there) I can't promise to make it at this point.
And on a somewhat related note, if anyone heading to Gen Con is driving from, or passing through, Kansas City I'm looking for a ride if you've got extra passenger space. |

The Meet & Greet location should have game-type tables, and I sincerely doubt anything will be running in there Wednesday night after we're done. So that might be an option. People use open space like that all the time, especially on Wednesdays when there's no regular gaming going on.
And if nothing else, the M&G may be a good "gathering place" for everyone regardless. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Never played it (regular 3.5 is the closest I've gotten), but heard decent things about it. SR would take precedence, but half the reason I dig GenCon so much is the chance to try new stuff, too. |
