Alright. Who's going to GenCon?
Who'd be able to post pics and diaries of the going-ons at the con here on the board this year?
Hoping Zachary goes, but it'd be nice if we had several gamers here covering the con each from their own vantage point. :)
Any takers?

I'm going, and I'm going to be busy showing my son and nephew - both their first time to Gen Con, and my nephews first game convention ever.

Any chance you could take some pics and whatnot and upload them later for us to see?
I'm going, but I'm really not that into industry events. If you want to know about cool games with my peeps, I might be able to cover you. :)

Is the world really your oyster?
heh. Here's the email thread. I stuck as much stuff from the song in as I thought I could get away with.

Good Morning,
I don't play at any ordinary level, so I'd like to request a character ahead of time.
A character appropriate to a tuxedo would be great if you have one. I'm a bit older (42.)

I'll try to take pictures, sure.
And hey, Bryce. I'm in the Chess larp, too. I didn't specify a character in advance.

How has Dominion worked for the wee set? That's got me curious.
Sorry, it's a no-go for me this year, guys. I'd love to cover it, but can't make it happen between work and funding this year. :(

Oh man, I tried to match 'Chess, in concert' last night to prep for the game. Ouch! I'm going to settle for the (VERY extensive) wikipedia on it. I did come away with swapping out my white shirt for a black one though.
Any chance someone going can ask FFG when Only War will release (along with the million other books they keep announcing), and why they are so crap at editing and proofreading. Thanks.

Isn't this a sign of the Apocalypse?
If Zach can't make it to Gen Con or cover it in a thread again - then the universe must be imploding.

Yeah that's too bad. This place is my go to site for all things gen con due to Zachary's posts. Gonna miss it. :(
Unfortunately, I won't be going either... So... the RPGSite will need another photographer to cover the show.

That's tragic! I'd almost rather you went than me, if I had to choose; you deserve it for all the great coverage you've provided to this site. Plus, I don't know what I'm missing.
