Earlier today, my family and I took care of purchasing our badges for GenCon this year. Who all will be able to attend this year if all goes well? I'm excited to meet more of you if possible, and meet back up with my new friends from last yea!

| I'm planning on going (as is my friend who still hasn't carried out his threat of signing up here). I didn't realize tickets were on sale, though -- hadn't seen any notification. |

You'll have to hold his characters hostage if you DM for him!
I believe that the badges went on sale starting at 11 this morning Eastern Time. I tried posting links, but being on my tablet kind of throws that off, sadly...
I did find this link late last night, and I thought it rather interesting. Once you look it over, does this mean that Wizards won't be there this year at all? I'm rather looking forward to free items because of Curse of Strahd being released this March, and some of you know that I'm quite the Ravenloft fan. I was also looking forward to having my PHB signed by Mr. Mearls and Mr. Crawford.

Baldman Games will be there, just like last year, but I'm not crystal clear on whether Mearls or Crawford will be there.
I won't be able to go this year, sadly.  But I'll be there next year, unless something cataclysmic happens. Have fun, guys, and I'll miss seeing all of you. |

I'm sorry to hear that, my friend. Brynweir and I were looking forward to seeing you and your lady again at this year's GenCon. Our little girl is getting so big! A for 2017 if we make it, it'll only be for the weekend because of school. I really wish they could make the dates more school calendar friendly.
I'm hoping that they make it, but I'll be keeping an eye out as we get closer to the date. No sense bringing my books if I can't have them signed. I will look forward to having Curse of Strahd signed, though.  |

Very nice! Will you be running any events that we'll want to keep an eye out for? |

| I'm sorry to hear that, Ashe. The high point for me last year was getting to meet and spend time with you, Wooly, and Delwa. I hope to see you at next year's GenCon then, if I'm able to attend. The dates don't work out well for the first week of school where I am, sadly. If I'm able to attend, it will likely only be a weekend pass, but that's better than not going at all, right? |

If the theme for the CK seminar is indeed "villains" this year, I'll have to see what I can come up with for a handout ...

Definitely! And I am going to make it next year come hell or high water. 50th Anniversary of GenCon and the 30th of the Grey Box! |
I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

I'm running a couple sessions of my Mass Effect game, and I'll be on Writers Symposium panels, and I should really get on that Realms Modern campaign I've been meaning to run...

I'm also planning on going in the next year. 50th Anniversary of GenCon, the 30th of the Grey Box, and my 25th of (A)D&D.

Because I'd never signed up for the newsletter, I didn't get this news until after I'd secured a cheaper, non-downtown hotel:
They're not offering shuttle service this year.
It looks like the hotel is offering shuttle service, but I'm going to be double-checking that. |

| If it helps, the Holiday Inn Express in Greenwood, Indiana is a very nice place to stay, and they don't mind D&D sessions in the breakfast area at any time of the day. I saw many games ran there with different groups. It's also where we'll be staying again this year. :-) |

I had a choice of either going to Gencon this year, or going to Pennsic instead. It was a no-brainer for me; no-one I was interested in meeting with at Gencon, and two of my sons and my bro-in-law are fighting in the war.
I'll take live-action mayhem-ery over P&P games any day.
And to be honest, I really only go for the wenches... I do so love me some wenches. |

| When is it? It always falls during a time I can't go. Plus, I'd likely be going by myself, so... |

Got my ticket to the Candlekeep seminar!
We doing a bar gathering again? I liked that place last year -- I discovered pineapple cider there, and I've been drinking that and my regular Irish cider since then! |
