I'm going to be there again, with my son.

I took a look through the event schedule. Not a lot for those of us stuck back in OD&D/AD&D first edition. Frank and Tim, are either of you looking to put together an Acaeum game?

I'm also up for the annual dinner Wednesday night.

Bracton,

I'll start a new thread about the annual dinner in the near future. I'm thinking about a change in venue.

I'll be there Thursday through Saturday (with the drive home Sunday). I had a hell of a time with pre registration yesterday (missed out on all my Dresden Files RPG games) hope everyone else had better luck.

Hi,

I'll be there, not sure exactly which day I'm arriving yet tho.

Hoping to fly via Chicago this time, rather than New York.

Cheers,
Malc

As a matter of fact, I have just formulated, in the last 48 hours, a new adventure; half outdoors (jungles) and half "underground" / lost temple settings. Is anyone interested in playing if I make one? I will have to get some art going and I already have a mapper working. It will all be old school map styles this time around.

As a frequent mooch, I'm all for a change of menu. Howinthehell do Germans live on that stuff? Day after day...ugh. Another reason to be glad we whipped the Nazis.

Hiya,

I'm up for it again, thanks Tim.

Actually, the Rathskeller serves "Americanized" German food, which is somewhat better than most of the "real" German food I've experienced

Cheers,

I'll be there - probably not 'til Thursday though - unless dbartman wants to leave on Wednesday night. My son will be along too.

Not that I've ever had the pleasure of attending the Acaeum dinner, but the couple times I was in Germany I couldn't find a bad meal. In fact I can rank them as some of the best meals I've ever eaten. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the meals I had while in the UK.

Considering going, but not sure. Have more vacation time and a whole lot of stuff to do... maybe I'll go again.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

Games were released today, got some tickets. Who all is coming? Lets get an updated list going

In only a few short months, my going to Gen Con this year has gone from 90% yes to 90% no. Which really sucks since there is going to be a lot of really nice, unique items from the Gygax estate this year. But my job is currently in flux so I dont know if I will even be employed next month or not.

Are any Brits going to Gencon this year, and if so would you be willing to buy stuff for me (and get it signed)?

Does anyone have news on any products being released at Gen Con?
