Since you guys mentioned it, there ARE gonna be a handful of us Iowa Happy Jackers that will be going to Gamicon in Iowa City. Mark your calendars - Feb 10~12 2012 will be coming soon enough! I can guarantee that AzureTalon and I will be there, at least on the 11th. (We'll be running that insane Grindhouse thing I posted about on the old boards.) There'll probably be appearances by other Quad Cities gamers as well. Who's in??

god if i have a job and steady cash flow by then i might make it out there It's on the weekend, and it's an hour away! I think you might need like 5-10 bucks to get in, but other than that, just hitch a ride with BlueClaw and come, job or no!

Well I am actually from Illinois, so I think Nebraska is okay. Iowa City might be a bit of a drive for you though.
And yeah, obviously I'll be there since UTM meantioned I'm staffing the Grindhouse as the GM (Grind Master?)

I'll try to make one of those days, probably the 11th. It's only a few hours away. The only issue is it will be cutting into my slush fund for the Midwest Gaming Classic in Milwaukee in March. I get around dealer tables and my restraint begins to slip.

Title: The Grindhouse Game System: Pathfinder Description: THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE! Do YOU have the strength to take on all challengers?? Test your mettle in the FIRST ANNUAL GRINDHOUSE ARENA! This Pathfinder grand melee event will use pre-generated Player Characters so bring only your dice and your courage, but check your mercy at the door! This one-of-a-kind, trap-filled Arena of Spinning Death™ will pit Player Character against Player Character against Player Character in an all-day, enter-at-any-time King of the Mountain challenge unlike anything you’ve ever seen! Up to 12 players at a time, join in at any time during the 6-hour run GMs: Useless Trivia Man and AzureTalon Here's a crappy-cellphone-camera sneak peek from one of the earlier playtests:

"Cheeseburger fucker" will be in attendance too, so there is that added attraction.

Holy crap, Iowa is here!
I used to refer to Iowa as my "middle of nowhere" metaphor.
Now it seems that it has become RPG Mecca!

I dunno about a mecca (that's still Gen Con!). I mean, there is a pretty vocal group of Iowegians present on these boards, but we're no Indiana or anything. Legend tells that Muncie, IN is the center of the gaming universe. Can Snardflapple confirm whether there's any truth to this??
