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.

I will....

Not be going.

Life hath intruded and though, in theory, my lovely Wife suggested I drive down Friday night, play around Saturday, and come back late Saturday Night/Early Sunday morning, I'm doing the Dad-takes-one-for-the-kids-and-family-peace-with-my-brother thing and taking my kids to see the Chicago Air and Water Show.

So Doc will not be kidnapped by me, and I will not get to have my first space adverntuer in Hinterweslt's Nebuleon game, and I will not get to game with Zach and Clash and Klaxon, nor meet Abyssal Maw, nor any of you wonderful people who are going and with whom I'd love to have a beer (or club soda) and maybe even a game.

But my lovely Wife has made it her mission that I get to go for the duration next year, as well as other conventions, and supporting my gaming in every way she can (though she still refuses to play - I have got to get her to try Squirrel Attack!).

So have fun all!

Yow!! A hospital Bed?

 James J. S., I hope you're doing alright.

 Our group almost wasn't going to go - because our Leader in these GenCon adventures with the Jail has been in the Hospital for close to 3 months.  He is getting MUCH better now....talked with him on the phone and he is determined to be there to work the table .

I wish I could go.  Someday I'll make it there, and then probably get kicked out for smoking in a non-smoking area.
Ideally on a panel table, right in front of Nikchick. :D

If all goes well, I will actually be in India at the time of the con. So. . . probably not going ;)

James J.S., you'll be missed, pal. We'll hope to see you next year.

jdrakeh, sounds like you got the directions wrong.  It's in Indiana, not India. :p


I'm kicking around the idea of starting RPG Blog back up with Gen Con.  I was thinking about blogging exclusively from TRPGS, but the current blog system here doesn't quite seem up to all that I need for it.  Life has settled down a bit, and I think I can handle doing a regular blog again.  Coverage for the RPG Site will be sort of a dry run to test that, I think.

I'm hoping to pick up some d20/3/5 books pretty cheap at GCIndy somewhere.  That $5 booth was awesome last year--I hope that wasn't Titan Games!
