looks like I missed the star wars convention

NecroPhile · 07/27/2007, 04:45 PM

My 69 sided die are in the shop, so I'm going to have to sit this one out.

GenCon is the inferior spawn of Anthrocon and Otakon.

You've flipped history on its head. Now go listen to the Jim Power soundtrack (PCE version) and tell me what you think about it (this relates to another thread, not this one).

Keranu · 07/28/2007, 05:13 PM

That looks like it could be fun, but a bit too far for my tastes. I think the MGC is enough for me

Umm, Indianapolis is closer to Crete than Oconomowoc, actually. Not that I am saying you should go. It's not really a video game sort of thing.

Turbo D · 07/30/2007, 05:06 AM

looks like kerano missed the bus

Exactly, that's why I said a bit too far for my tastes.

guyjin · 07/30/2007, 06:24 PM

A couple of people from my D&D group are going, but I'm not. All the hotels nearby were booked months ago.

JoshTurboTrollX · 09/21/2007, 01:55 PM

well if anyone was interested in how it went.............

Heres a vid I made-Gen Con on Youtube!

Keranu · 09/21/2007, 07:02 PM

That video was really well put together!

JoshTurboTrollX · 05/26/2011, 05:00 PM

well, I know Guyjin has gone in the past, anyone else around here going to this years?!

Possible meet up/ hang out? maybe get a couple dudes together, pull out our Turbobs in the E-Arena and show off our OBEY to the masses!! LOL

here's what we're registered for thus far:

Going with the mrs. and some offspring!

Arkhan Asylum · 05/26/2011, 07:39 PM

I might be. I am not sure if I can swing a trip out there this year. I am going to Origins for sure though.

Gen Con's dungeon is badass.

blueraven · 05/26/2011, 09:26 PM

Maybe.

I remember when it was in Lake Geneva. lol. BITD.

BlueBMW · 05/26/2011, 10:02 PM

Hmm, I have been to Origins a few times and a few other gaming Cons, but I pretty much always stuck to the board gaming areas.... I should have ventured over to the electronic gaming areas...

Mathius · 05/27/2011, 01:23 AM

Well, seeing as how I LIVE IN INDIANA I might show. How much are tickets? Too lazy to google.

JoshTurboTrollX · 06/02/2011, 11:30 AM

Arkhan Asylum · 07/05/2011, 06:07 PM

I dunno if I feel like going now. Origins was a fucking letdown. there was like 1/3 as many people as last time.

No fears of people not showing for Gencon, the attendance grows every year!! And besides, you want to come to play Guy's Betrayal at House on the Hill right?

Agreed Ark! That's all anyone here in Indiana talks about in mid summer. It's huge!

I'm actually running 3 sessions of it for friends on another board. One is Friday starting at 9:40pm, another is Saturday at Midnight, and on Sunday at 8:40pm. Which one(s) do you want in?

guyjin · 07/17/2011, 04:57 PM

JoshTurboTrollX · 07/17/2011, 09:58 PM

I'm still checking daily to see what events I can find to sign up for!!

Unfortunately, we have crossed the deadline to request those days off work. Saddened.

JoshTurboTrollX · 07/20/2011, 10:10 PM

Quote from: Mathius on 07/20/2011, 11:27 PMHa ha! What is Guy's House on the Hill?

it's full of turbo goods... and trained attack cats.

Sorry to hear you can't come, Mathius.

TS, do you wanna play B@HoH on Saturday night, or Sunday?

JoshTurboTrollX · 07/22/2011, 02:15 PM

It depends on the time Saturday, otherwise Sunday I think is wide open. what times are you free, and what events are you penciled in for attending?

guyjin · 07/22/2011, 06:08 PM

I was gonna run it at midnight on Saturday and around 8:40 pm Sunday night. I already have some people scheduled to play those slots

I have a lot of games scheduled with friends; I'm only in 2 "official" events; the ENnies, and a Roborally game on Saturday.

Mathius · 07/22/2011, 11:37 PM

Let me know your where's and what's that weekend Josh. I won't be able to go to the show, but after work I may drive down late one night just to say "Hi." No promises though. You coming out would rock, but my free time may be too late for some. Too bad the show isn't during the week.

If you are coming down I-65 from Chi-town into Indy make note of the Frankfort exit just south of Lafayette. Look soulfully at the sign as it leads to my hometown.
