Hi all, just wondering who is gonna hit some WI cons this year. For me, first of all is this coming weekend,
Evercon, January 6-8 in Wausau, WI. Bringing my kids to their first con, should be fun.
Gary Con, March 23-26, a good time and I will be there, event registration starts soon.
Gamehole Con, Nov. 2-5, had a BLAST last year and will do this again.
Any other HJ folk gonna be at these?

I'm going to try really hard to make an appearance at Gamehole this year. Depending on how things go on my little project, I might even unleash the Grindhouse Arena 2.0 on the unsuspecting masses there...

I really wanted to try for Gamehole Con, but couldn't make it happen. I'm just over WI's northern border, so these are just at the edge of what I can manage for a drive.

Cool! I am playing in seven different games there and running something off the grid. I plan to run at Gamehole with systems I haven't seen in their games lineup before. Again, if you attend the con and if you are there Wed. night, try to attend Frank Mentzer's house party that night. Always a blast.
In other news, the kids and I had an awesome time at Evercon a couple weeks ago. Gonna have to add that as a third con I attend and the most kid-friendly. I ran a 5E game for kids and they had a LARP group there all dressed up and such and the kids loved it along with practically every other kid that was there. Over 1,000 attended that and I may project 1,500 (total attendees) at Gary Con with Gamehole easily clearing 2,000+. I attended them all in 2016 and will repeat again as this year progresses. Should be a great time.

A Shadow of the Demon Lord game, D&D 5E, a board game, some 1E games and a Castles and Crusades game. I may also run an off grid Conan RPG depending on what friends may be up for that. How about you?
Edit 2/3/17 added an AS&SOH game.

I will be at GaryCon, it's my first Con and my first game outside of my group, in fact I have only played or GM'd a handfull of sessions ever, although I have been a Happy Jack's fan for years.

Well, say hello and have fun at the con! All of the guests are awesome people and it's a great time. Don't be intimidated in any way and be social. I don't know of many Happy Jacks listeners who attend Gary Con, but it's a great way to meet and game with the people who worked on the early stuff as well as try new things. Lots to see and do there!

Gonna try for Gamehole, it's the best con I've ever been too, but it's about 50/50 right now.
