Well, I mean, you don't -need- to sign up for a tour or whatever to see the museum, it's just going to be open to the public. Tours are more for people who want to have the items all explained to them. I'm sure most of the people on the site here could figure it out.

Then again, a lot of the stuff that we'll be showing from the later years of Gen Con I'll need to keep crib notes for I imagine.

Bracton wrote in Gen Con 50 -- 2017:Event registration opened up for Gen Con today at 12 noon ET.  I had my wishlist set, and as soon as the button went live, hit it . . . and was 3772 in line.  

I got three events I wanted (one of which is Hickman's Killer Breakfast, which is in a huge ballroom, so doesn't really count as much of an achievement).  So I had to backfill and find events to fill open blocks.  In the end, it's a pretty good mix.  A couple of Cthulhu events, a Shadows of the Demon Lord event, a Rolemaster event, and one 5th Edition D&D.

Needless to say, Friday evening is left open for the auction.  

Now, if Blackmoor got the True Dungeon tickets, I'm all set.  

Hey Bracton

I got all the games on my list, I was 1577 in line and it went quickly.  True dungeon is in for sure

I was 4486...

I signed up for Pathfinder for Friday and Saturday, and the Agricola Tournament on Thursday. Got all my events, even the high-level Pathfinder event!!!

4 day badges are sold out, only single day passes available. No badges will be sold onsite.

There are a few things that will be on display there that may be of interest to the community here, like maybe this:

Can someone with an iPhone post a virtual walk-through after the fact, or would that be verboten by copyright restrictions? I think it would be awesome to see!

Howdy All,

All Legends of Wargaming events for Gen Con 50 are now up and a few have already sold out! If you want a unique chance to play the games that lead to the creation of Dungeons & Dragons and played at the earliest Gen Cons, now is your chance! Just look under Host: Legends of Wargaming to find all of our events.

Futures Bright,

Paul
