The Epic Gen Con 2014 Thread
Date: August 14-17th, 2014
Place: Indianapolis, Indiana
Why?: Because it's been years since we've got together and enjoyed some solid gaming with each other. Also, Gen Con, duh! Stock those funds and vacation days, because we're going to make this happen.
The plan:
Go to the Con of Cons, wandering the convention floor by day, and gaming our minds numb by night.
Lock and load, gentlefolk.
Confirmed Attendees
Drew
Squall
Marty
Scott
Tentative Attendees
Even more-Tentative Attendees
Beta Itinerary
Forthcoming.

Re: The (Tentative) Gen Con 2014 Thread
If we can get at least 3 people going (including myself), I'll go. I'll have no issue with having enough vacation days, I'll just have to reserve the days off well in advance because its peak season. The bigger questions are:
1) are we going to be there for all four days?
2) where to stay?
3) travel - do we meet up in DE/MD/DC/VA/NY and drive out in one car? do some of us fly?

Re: The (Tentative) Gen Con 2014 Thread
I'm a tentative go. It'll really depend on funds. The next year is going to be in flux for me, as I'm looking for a new job and moving to a new place.

Re: The (Tentative) Gen Con 2014 Thread
1. I'd like to go for all 4 days, but I won't cry if some other people can't. Ideally, I'd like arrive the day before the Con, but in the interest of saving money and vacation days, I'm down to arrive on the first day.
2. Probably in the Residence Inn at 350 West New York Street, it doesn't have a skybridge to the convention center, but its only a few blocks away and will be much nicer to our wallets.
3. Travel is the tricky thing. I'm happy to roadtrip it from MD. I think you'll have to compare your options, Marty and go whats best for you.

Re: The (Tentative) Gen Con 2014 Thread
Assuming I can go, I'd be happy to drive for the road trip. I have a RAV-4 with third row seating, so we should be able to fit a lot of us as well as our bags.

I shouldn't have trouble saving enough for that, money or time. Count me in.

I can get us 3 blocks away for $190ish/night. The Residence Inn appears to have no rooms left.

Re: The (Tentative) Gen Con 2014 Thread
Just as an update, I have a 2-queen bed suite (it also has a sleeper couch) on reserve at the Comfort Suites City Centre, walking directions to convention center are visible here: http://goo.gl/maps/EsFZ2
I've got until August 13th to cancel the reservation should we choose to go somewhere else or not go at all.
Cost is $199/night, estimated total cost of $935.95, which works out to $311.97 per person for 3 people or $233.98 for 4 people. PS: The room holds up to 6.

Re: The Gen Con 2014 Thread
Update:
So, one of our tentative attendees, Kat, is planning to try and table (be in the Art Show) at Gen Con. The price of tabling includes the cost of an extra badge so that person can help staff the table at the Show. So, if any of you would like to, or know someone would like to, hang out in the Art Show for a fair part of the Con, hit me up.
