So will I, as well as my roomate, and possibly my brother and one of his friends.

Unfortunately, REAL LIFE has come along and will probably prevent me from going.

I enjoyed my time last year, but I'm moving and starting a new job at a different district, which means I have to attend all the annoying inservice stuff. Sigh...

One of the best card games I ever played. And from me, that isn't saying much, as one of my favorites is Blackjack.

I will not be making it this year, the days of Count Arioch having any form of disposable income is ending until I can finish college and start my career again.

Not I. I pretty much decided not to go when I let my VIG renewal expire in December. A lot of people were saying they were not going at the time. The VIG was a huge dissapointment last year and I was told that it was going to be rough this year since the space will be going through demolition and reconstruction of the old stadium so space will be a premium. Last and not least in my mind, 4E can go to hell for all I care.

Very Important Gamer. Pay big $$$ get good dibs at the hotel rooms, get in early to the exhibitions, get a room (yea it's just a room) with free coffee, swag (in theory), a special thing at the bash (that upper balcony weeeee) and a very boring dinner that was held at the same place and which was buffet.

Oh and a register at the room to get extra generic tickets.
Oh and the nicest people in the room you ever want to meet.
Did I mention the free coffee, because the room was right across the board gamers room.
Oh and I got a couple of Star Wars Celebration hats.

I will be at GenCon Indy, if anybody around these parts cares.

yes, this is a post intended to nudge the main index back into normalcy...

I may actually be able to make it to GenCon Indy this year. My uncle should hook us up with a room, and I have a summer job so should have the money for everything else. Not 100 percent, but a distinct possibility that I'm there.

This thread is pretty quiet for how near GenCon is looming. A sign of the crappy economy and the lack of 4e appeal perhaps...

I pre-registered on the last possible day when an out of town friend told me he was going so I figured what the hey. Not exactly certain what I'm gonna do there mostly though. I signed up to play some unfamiliar games (Aces & Eights and Wild Talents super hero RPG thingy), beyond that, I have no real schedule.
