No Cthulhu?

The Call didn't go through?
....bad connection maybe,

Koltar, that was awesome!
The RPG stats don't look right. I know Palladium is having a bunch of GMs coming and CoC games are always popular. Also, no White Wolf?
The DCC number is impressive.
Not sure of you are counting them. But note that some games will repeat over the week.
also. No Dragon Storm? Id think someone would be there GMing. Wish were me or Susan.
Wow, I knew that Star Wars d6 was seeing a resurgence in popularity but the number of games blows my mind.

I know when I went to DexCon in NJ they had a list of official games, but you could just go out and run whatever you wanted. Maybe Palladium just has a huge area that they're going to run games from that aren't officially scheduled?

Quality will prevail.
I'll add in CoC, Trail of Cthulu, White Wolf, Rifts, Battletech, and Shadowrun games after I get off work today and get a chance to get into the GenCon website events listing. I just did a quick runthru last night.
...any other games people here want registered game counts on?
Dropped Koltar off today right before lunch, There's already 10,000 gamers in downtown Indy.
He brought his camera, so if you ask nice, he might take some pictures and post them up here...
Sadly. I'll be surprised if you spot anyone playing Dragon Storm.
Quote from: Omega;984326Sadly. I'll be surprised if you spot anyone playing Dragon Storm.
I'd be even more surprised if they are playing DragonRaid.
Quote from: Dumarest;984368I'd be even more surprised if they are playing DragonRaid.
Yikes. It's been a while since I've thought about that Rpg. Had a friend back in high school who had it - and it was one of the few Rpgs his parents allowed him to own.
Quote from: K Peterson;984372Yikes. It's been a while since I've thought about that Rpg. Had a friend back in high school who had it - and it was one of the few Rpgs his parents allowed him to own.
Poor kid.
I have it. It isn't awful but I can't imagine ever playing it. I think it was acquired at a Goodwill or a yard sale just for the same sake of curiosity.

No Dragon Storm. I haven't seen
Susan Van Camp at any RPG shows for quite a while now.
Quote from: GameDaddy;984430No Dragon Storm. I haven't seen Susan Van Camp at any RPG shows for quite a while now.
After Mark died her online presence soon after pretty much ended as her own health deteriorated dramatically. I havent heard from Robin Wood either in ages. She was dropping out of art too for similar reasons. Ne-Ne Thomas though as of last check was still active. Some of the others Ive lost track of.
QuoteStar Frontiers: Alpha Dawn 1 Infamous Games
Who the hell is this? They werent trying to sell it were they? That could violate the agreement the SF site has with WOTC.
Quote from: Omega;985274Who the hell is this? They werent trying to sell it were they? That could violate the agreement the SF site has with WOTC.
Nah; this is a listing of games being run, not items sold. A Google search suggests Infamous Games is just an organization running some old-school games at GenCon--they've got this, a D&D game (probably B/X), and an Adventures in Fantasy game.
Interesting numbers. Thank you GameDaddy

Pics???
Quote from: Spinachcat;986332Pics???
Does a link to an article pictures count?
A local newspaper or TV station posted this one to the web. Turns out that I am in the picture rotation - look for in a top hat. Take a look: https://www.wthr.com/article/gen-con-sets-new-attendance-record

Whaaaa? Ah There you are! Great Cosplay Pics! Didn't any of the pics you took come out? Did you get any pics of games?
Quote from: GameDaddy;986507Whaaaa? Ah There you are! Great Cosplay Pics! Didn't any of the pics you took come out? Did you get any pics of games?
Yep, I have three disks' worth of pictures (over 666 pictures) including Frank Mentzer and Vincent Barker....
- Ed C.
Never seen a pic of Vincent. Is he Satan Himself?
Quote from: Voros;986520Never seen a pic of Vincent. Is he Satan Himself?
Well, he does have red hair - so he's got that ginger thing going on.
He's shorter than I am....
- Ed C.
Three whole pictures of people playing games.
Crom.

Just googled it because none of you can be bothered to post pics.
I see he has the required RPG designer ponytail/bun and beard.

Cute girls tend to be more popular than the backs of people's heads.

You will now notice that I DID start a thread of Gen Con photos.
The last one I posted before heading off to work this morning was Vincent Baker.
Now that Am home from work, I'll post some more pictures - including Frank Mentzer leading a tour group
