SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

This year I'm going to get to go to GenCon for the first time.  Aside from Sat where I won't be there, are there any things people can suggest that I totally need to do while there?  I'm already signed up for True Dungeon with some friends, though they are going to GC with an emphasis on the MTG tournaments while I'm looking more for games/seminars.

Others heading over this year? Any of the pub's on the board running demos of their games that I need to be looking for? (the lists of events is huge so it's a lot to wade through)

Take care Nothingland. You were always one of the most ridiculously good-looking sites on the internets, and the web too. I\'ll miss you.  -"Derek Zoolander MD" at a site long gone.

I'm running a Microlite74 game on Saturday, along with the 2010 GM's Jam seminar, which is nothing as much as a GM's brainstorm session and support group.

I would give yourself plenty of time in the dealer room.  Do a little research beforehand and use a Pocketmod or something to write down where the booths you want to hit are.  A lot of them will have booth demos or a list of demos of their games.  You can just buy generic tickets--the trick is not to overplan.  Pick a list of games you'd "like" to play in, and you'd be surprised how often you can get in with generics.

Check out the Tower of Gygax once there's more info. They run it 24/7, and Frank Mentzer and Tim Kask were our DMs last year.

Ooooo, I must check that one out indeed.  Great advice which I plan to follow indeed.  I'd love to snag a spot for microlight were it not on Sat. :(
