It's not too early to start talking about Gamicon, is it? This year will be my fourth annual running of the Grindhouse Arena. I'll also be re-running the other two events that I unleashed upon XenoCon last month: Walt's Angels 2: Inglorious Bitches (Savage Worlds) - Sequel to last year's Charlie's Angels/Disney ex-Princesses mash-up! (No prior experience needed.) World War Mouse caught the entire globe by surprise, and things aren't going well for the Allies battling against the Mouseketeers. Time for Walt's Angels to take down the House of Mouse! Terror in Paradise (Dread RPG) - Two weeks on the most secluded island getaway in the entire world sounded like a fantastic idea. No cell phones, no internet, totally off-the-grid. This should be the most peaceful two weeks you've ever had... So why are people screaming?? Come try out the Dread RPG, where hands trembling with fear are actually hazardous to your character's health! Anybody else gonna brave the Iowegian winter for some great gaming?

Oh man, Iowa is close enough that I might be able to make this. Either way, the games look rad

C'mon out and meet the C Team! And this year it's being held in an actual hotel, making it much easier on out-of-town attendees.

Aw man, it's only 3 hours away... I'll see if I can drum up some support with my group to see if anyone wants to try and fit five people in a hotel room. And badges are cheap.

I may be able to get into an earlier game on Friday than before now that I work in Iowa City. My boss will likely be sympathetic to getting out early for a convention given that he'll likely attend as well.

I should be there Friday and Saturday. We'll see about Sunday. I'm only running one game this year due to being a busy, busy man. However, I'll be running a promotional game for my podcast Shadowvane set in the world of our current story. Should be very, very interesting.
Can't wait to see the C-Teamers and anyone other HJ douchebags!

So I'm heading out with members of my gaming group. We're making the long long trek from Chicago.
Planning on running Star Wars Traveller, Super Hero Savage Worlds, and a DND 5e one shots. Maybe a Shadowrun game if I'm feeling foolish.
Hope to see some friendly faces.

Signing up for stuff now. Anyone else finding the process lacking compared to last year? I can remember being able to at least be able to limit what I'm looking at based on game type. Seems like now I have to first look at an hour, click on it, see a list of game names and then look at each individual one before I know if I'm looking at an RPG, board game or whatever else.

Yeah, this is pretty clunky, plus my games didn't get listed in time. If any jackers are looking for RPGs I'm on the errata for event listing
Friday 3pm - You want us to kill HOW MANY Kobolds? (DnD 5e) Saturday, 7pm - Super League of Good Doing: Attack of the Sinister Dr. Cay Nein (Savage Worlds) Sunday, 10am - A New New Hope (Star Wars Traveller)
All four hour games. All waiting for Jackers to come and *cough* improve the experience.

lowkeyoh I don't know how early I'll be able to get out from work on Friday, but I am interested in your 3pm game. Hey uselesstriviaman when's your Dread game? I didn't see it and I've never tried Dread so I'm interested.

Thanks man. I may have just missed checking that hour. Registration worked out well enough. I've now got 3 events that day and two 2 hour gaps for food or possibly a quick run in the grind house. Fairly sure I can manage a short game there.
