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.

Each morning before the doors would open, Peter Adkisson would make announcements from this stage and roll dice to decide how much Gen Con would dfonate to charity that morning. This is the morning of Saturday the 4th and a 'Darth Vader' got to roll the dice along with the mayor of Induianapolis.

...Late Afternoon Saturday the 4th, then a bit of Sunday the 5th......

The signs on the street, Gen Con takes over every Hotel: [ATTACH=CONFIG]2836[/ATTACH]

For Reference or context, there are at least 4 to 5 hotels directly across the street from the Convention center: [ATTACH=CONFIG]2837[/ATTACH]

Me, back at the Hotel in the Steampunk outfit I wore on Saturday:[ATTACH=CONFIG]2838[/ATTACH]

Second shot, taken by Hotel staff. They liked Gen Con and all the costumes, but our Hotel was way too far from the convention center. It was a real pain on my legs: [ATTACH=CONFIG]2839[/ATTACH]
