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.

It looks like a fun con. It's Andy Hopp's convention!

I likes the pictures here:

Let me know if anyone is going to this. I want to go, but I don't know if I can convince the usual suspects to come with me...

Also they had fun musical guests. Last year it was Worm Quartet. This year it will be Stratos. And lots of gamin'.

Hrm. Maaaaaybe!

My son wants to play in the Guitar Hero Eternal Jamnation. If I can work out transportation, we'll go. That's far, far from a given, though.
Employment Counselor: So what do you like to do outside of work?
Oblivious Gamer: I like to play games: wargames, role-playing games.
EC: My cousin killed himself because of role-playing games.
OG: Jesus, what was he playing? Rifts?

I'd love to.  That con seems really well-organized, with a great heart behind it and a nice range of fun activities for a wide range of gamers (and their kids).  Plus, their website kicks ass.  For me, though, it's the incredible quantity of Savage Worlds games they run, with some big players from Pinnacle that really makes me want to go.

I'd love to go to that one. Andy is always a super nice guy at GenCon every year. The darn con is even in my state and 3 to 4 hours driving time from where I live.

 BIG PROBLEM: Upper management is not allowing us vacation time days after October 1st till the end of the year, I'm also the store's assistant manager. Its holiday shopping season, its a retail store  - it kind of sucks...but I keep my job.

 Love to go .
Andy himself invited me directly when he & I talked at GenCon.

Only way it would work - if I left from Cincy just as my shift was ending on Saturday (mid-afternoon) I'd get there around 6 or 7pm, spend the night at the con...and hopefully have all day Sunday off.
I can't count on that tho.
