Who's going?

>>54887938
Missing it this year, too busy.

Literally on my way right now, can't wait!

Do we need a GenCon general for the duration?

>>54889947
Yes.

Will be here working. First time going with our store and I'm hyped as hell.

>>54893696
Some interesting announcements this year, like a new 40k RPG and White Wolf's plans for WoD.

Also, a map: https://www.gencon.com/map

I'm playing in the 40k tournament. If I make top table, expect a little "Sup /tg/" on a bit of paper

>>54887938
Sadly had to sell my tickets... again... fuck working Saturdays.

>>54887938
Do cool things usually get announced at this or is it generally just games and panels about design, etc.?

if only I could have gone but...

>>54894090
Who do you work for? What's the product? Share this shit with us, anon.

>>54887938
I'm leaving tomorrow.

>>54897276
Work for Warstore. We're selling a bit of everything

>>54897967
Do I get a discount if I mention I met you on /tg/? Always happy to support an anon.

>>54897967
Hot damn, I didn't know they'd be at GenCon. I'm going to have to stop by.

Someone hit me up with some cool shit they see, cause I can't go this year but have some cash stowed away for games

>>54900509
That sucks, friend.

What are you guys going to do?

>>54901655
I'm running 2 and 4 hour rpg sessions through games on demand. Feng Shui 2 and Into the Odd.

>>54901655
I've got a 40k tournament, a Guild Ball event, some Dropzone, and a whole lotta shopping for my friends.

>>54887938
Going, doing a bunch of MTG shit and some pickup board games as I come across them. Probably even better given I can sleep at home every night (based zionsville)

>>54902363
>I can sleep at home every night
Damn, That must be nice.

What booths are you guys hype for? I'm basically rushing to the Hawk Booth day 1 for those civilian vehicles.

The Will Call line is nuts right now

>>54903936
Last year on Wednesday night it was all the way across the convention center but still only took roughly half an hour to get the badge.

TI4 confirmed for sale at the FFG booth.

I wonder if they'll have the preorder hardback rulebooks along with it.

>>54887938
On my way right now. First time attendee. Any recommendations from veterans? Suggestions?

>>54904666
I hope you've got a badge already, Satan, cause if not... then I've got some bad news for you.

Otherwise, make sure to walk the dealer hall; just take a day and go up and down every single aisle. There's such a huge density of cool shit to see you can spend your whole con doing this, honestly, if you stop at demos and anything else that catches your eye.

>>54904666
Drink lots of water. Just buy a water bottle and keep it full 24/7. 90-95% of "con crud" is just people getting dehydrated by the extremely dry overly air-conditioned air and not noticing it because they're having too much fun.

I decided not to go this year and I'm already regretting it.

>>54902985
No shit. That's $500 I can spend on con goodies and not hotel bills.

>>54904666
Your badge is your literal lifeline, go NOWHERE without it, the con is sold out entirely and you will not be able to get a new one.

Pack light if you can, you're going to be bringing back a bunch of good stuff and if you jam it into an already full bag you're setting yourself up for a bad time.

True Dungeon is great for RPGfags but not everyone.

Have really good shoes and socks, you'll need to walk all over.

Stay FAR away from Maryland street, do not engage the /pol/fags

>>54904666
Water! Drink it Satan! Also, don't get overwhelmed, that's really easy for your first year. Find some fun games, and make friends, Gen-Con is easily one of my favorite conventions, the atmosphere is just amazing.

>>54905251
>True Dungeon is great for RPGfags but not everyone.
RPGfag who did it last here - eh. It's honestly probably better for people who like MMOs and stuff because that's basically what it is - an MMO raid with puzzles and test of personal skill (either shuffleboard or memory tests for attacks). It even has a loot treadmill like an MMO. This is not to undersell the puzzle aspect, though. The puzzles are fucking hard (I did the puzzle focused one, not the combat focused one).

It was okay but probably not something I'd do again, given how long it takes.

>>54887938
I am going to be a first time attendee. The current plan is to set-out early tomorrow morning with my one of my fellow group members and get there when the doors open.

>>54897294
Safe travels my fellow fa/tg/uy. How long will you be on the road?

>>54903009
Gonna hit-up the Studio 2 Publishing area's booths. I love Savage Worlds and want to get some nice bennies and maybe the current three copies of Savage Worlds Explorer.

>>54905251
>No shit. That's $500 I can spend on con goodies and not hotel bills.
I saved by getting a hotel 25 miles south of the con. Free hot breakfast for my party!
>Stay FAR away from Maryland street, do not engage the /pol/fags
What is the deal with Maryland Street?

>>54905609
Good plan! The opening speech and roll off is amazing.

>>54904666
Remember that anything you buy, you need to carry around all day. Don't spend all day in Artist alley.

Avoid the mall for lunch, it's always ridiculously packed and there isn't near enough seating. Brink snacks/lunch and water.

Pick up the guide book. There is a "quiet room" where you can take a nap, and there is a aid station thing with medics, they helped patch me up last year.

I suggest packing light, clothes/meds/essentials only. And make sure your shoes or inserts are good.

>>54905609
2-3 hour drive from Cincy.

>>54903009
I'm going to be checking out Warstore Anon's table.

>>54905741
why did you need patching up?

Long story short, I accidentally ate ginger, which my stomach can't handle, and I spent the rest of the day feeling like Superman whenever he sees Kryptonite.

It was bad, but they helped me out.

>>54906384
Oh no! I'm an EMT, and I carry my trauma, and Narcan kit with me to cons as my "just in case"

>>54906571
Now that's prepared.

Local here going for my 10th Gen Con. What are folks thoughts on doing a /tg/ meet-up?

Is anyone aware of any Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links events going on?

>>54905741
>2-3 hour drive from Cincy.
Looking at about the same except from Bloomington, IL.

missing out on the set of dice this year is the worst part, for me. (I know people that are going, but Ive been locked up in my house with terrible agoraphobia and a disability causing ankle injury for almost a year, so they have forgotten I exist)

>>54906829
I'd be down for it. We could have some fun posting about it over in /soc/ derailing their lewdness with the might of gaming even if for but a brief moment.

>>54906829
Wary, but cautiously optimistic.

I have a few events, so I could show up as long as I'm not paying for something.

>>54906964
I wouldn't want to do anything paid either. Something more like gathering around a few tables in the general play area.

Last year was around 60k attendance, which was a 2.5% increase from the previous year.
That year didn't 'sell out'.
Knowing the maximum occupancy of the convention center is supposedly 57k, excluding the main ballroom, and knowing that this year sold out, what do people think attendance will be like?
Probably just like....65k, right?
Not like 70? Surely not more?

They're stretched completely to capacity as it is.

Well regardless, I'll be there in a few hours for my 5th year in a row. Should be pretty fun.

>>54906829
Shit, I'd be down.

I was looking forward to trying Starfinder, but all the events for it sold out super fast. So, probably back to battletech for me.

What's really nuts to me is that hotel rooms for next year are already sold out.

>>54907020
Sorry, I meant I'd show up so long as I'm not already paying for an event.

I could be talked into doing an rpg or board games if we could find something, even if I have to pay a bit.

>>54907103
>>54907130
We'll have to start up a thread when the con starts for with a good spot to meant up. I'm all for talking about the shit we have/want to try as well as the shit we have/want to buy.

>>54906829
Not opposed to meeting up if there's nothing going on at the time, finding space might be tough?

>>54907186
On here or another board?

I'd be down to chill and chat/game.

>>54907249
I'm not sure about any open rooms, but I do know there are lesser used areas and halls we could appropriate, if it comes to that.

>>54907253>>54907249
If this thread is still up I'll post in it, if not I'll start a meet up thread.

>>54907270
Is right. There's generally extra space in the larger halls. Hopefully with Gen Con actually selling out this year it won't be to crazy.

Think Cubicle 7 will share any WFRP news there?

>>54907600
Probably an announcement, maybe a bit of an overview.

It's a bit early for details, I think.

On way to gencon.

Hype!

For anyone already in Indy, how's the will-call line looking?

>>54908715
Word is there long but not bad. The Westin is apparently handing out snacks to folks that are waiting which is pretty cool.

>>54897118
Depends on the genre.
Tabletop mostly have the announcement beforehand and let people play at their stands.
Cards I know off just shown off the plans (Some new info)
RPG can go either way as can Boardgames though Boardgames often have a demo.

>>54905609
>What is the deal with Maryland Street?
Supposed picket protesting the unfair treatment of the alt right in Charlottesville. And all they need is one large foam sword getting a tiny bit too close and then bullets are flying everywhere.

>>54887938
Mfw I didn't have to wait for my passes because somebody in my group is a vig

Anyone else going to the ITC 40k event tomorrow? If you see some dweeb in a Fez, come say hi.

>>54909075
Oh, Indiana. You truly are Chicago's toilet.

>>54910417
Hey, as a Chicagoan, I resent that - we've got enough shit to be our own toilet.

Tomorrow cannot get here fast enough.

>>54908715
Not bad at all

>>54905251
>>54905609
>>54909075
Damn, I should totally go there. I support anything that protests Antifa.

>>54906934
Does /soc/ have a thread up?

Also, can the mods merge the two Gencon threads here on /tg/? The other is here >>54909400

>>54912319
...ooooor you could not cause headaches for the people of Indiana like a considerate con-goer.

>>54900509

Starfinder! >>54910154

>>54904712
They've got free filtered water dispensers all through the Con and in the hotels.

Make sure you play Immigrant Song so that everyone knows where it's at.

>>54907035
It is the big golden anniversary. Probably a lot of people came. The max is probably 70k.

>>54912357
But I live here.

Anyone gonna be looking at onyx path stuff?

I'm so sorry

if only I could ask one of you guys in getting an L5R core... or three.

>>54887938
I'm going.

Time for L5R: the convention. I have an L5R tournament every single day. This will be a good GenCon.

>>54914342
I'm jealous.

>>54914342

Jelly af mate, enjoy and make sure you make a good decision on that story choice.

>>54914342
Not gonna lie, pretty jelly but I don't see what's all that great about the Heroes of Rokugan gubbins.

It's no more crowded than last year so far.

>>54920193
It's at capacity

Has anyone seen the guy who sells and buys used 40k?

Life sustaining bump.

First time going, but I started a thread before (way before) asking for food recommendations but forgot all of them.

Where is a legit good place to eat? Not fuckin' Chipolte.

>>54926133
If you've got the scratch, St Elmo's. Best cut of meat I've had in my life.

I lurk /pol/ because /tg/ got too tame.

Guy running character station at Paizo was a fa/tg/uy though.

The Rathskeller: Worth it?

>>54929343
Maybe it's not /tg/ becoming tamer, but you becoming edgier?

>>54930996
I wouldn't say I've gotten edgier... but /tg/ has definitely been in decline.
