GenCon is the inferior spawn of Anthrocon and Otakon.

You've flipped history on its head. Now go listen to the Jim Power soundtrack (PCE version) and tell me what you think about it (this relates to another thread, not this one).

That looks like it could be fun, but a bit too far for my tastes. I think the MGC is enough for me :) .

Umm, Indianapolis is closer to Crete than Oconomowoc, actually.  Not that I am saying you should go.  It's not really a video game sort of thing.

Gen Con's dungeon is badass.

Hmm, I have been to Origins a few times and a few other gaming Cons, but I pretty much always stuck to the board gaming areas.... I should have ventured over to the electronic gaming areas...

No fears of people not showing for Gencon, the attendance grows every year!!  And besides, you want to come to play Guy's Betrayal at House on the Hill right?

Sorry to hear you can't come, Mathius.

TS, do you wanna play B@HoH on Saturday night, or Sunday?
Title: Re: anyone coming to Gen-Con?
Post by: _joshuaTurbo on July 22, 2011, 07:15:04 AM
It depends on the time Saturday, otherwise Sunday I think is wide open.   what times are you free, and what events are you penciled in for attending?
Title: Re: anyone coming to Gen-Con?
Post by: guyjin on July 22, 2011, 11:08:46 AM
I was gonna run it at midnight on Saturday and around 8:40 pm Sunday night. I already have some people scheduled to play those slots :)

I have a lot of games scheduled with friends; I'm only in 2 "official" events; the ENnies, and a Roborally game on Saturday.

Let me know your where's and what's that weekend Josh. I won't be able to go to the show, but after work I may drive down late one night just to say "Hi." No promises though. You coming out would rock, but my free time may be too late for some. Too bad the show isn't during the week. :(

If you are coming down I-65 from Chi-town into Indy make note of the Frankfort exit just south of Lafayette. Look soulfully at the sign as it leads to my hometown. :)
