Indi Gen Con 2007 Q&A

from Kharum1
Does anyone know what the cost of a booth is? I'm an illustrator and I might want to sell some artwork. If they have an artist area.
I do not know but Flynn might, or check the gencon sight. I'd check with either of them.

from Flynn:

BTW, guys, as I'm doing demo work for Avenger this year, the games will be run in CT. For those of you who do not know it, I can teach the basics in less than five minutes. It'll be fun.
That lightens the Load considerably. plop chucks the T20 book....

Presumably Books 1-3 only? If yes, great.
If not, which extras do I need to bring along?

I've been excercising a bit there; how to get by with only 2 low passenges after your muster. ;)
 
Hey just got my flight info, hotel, and con tickets. My first GenCon. I've always wanted to go. I'll wait on getting a booth for next year. However, if anyone wants character renders let me know.
 
Which is more accurate, the search form or the Excel document? As I have got some things like a GURPS Traveller game in the Excel document that does not appear on the Search Form.

I'm not sure. For the past 2 years, I've used the Excel file event codes when signing up for games.

For newbies some games get added to the on site catalog which aren't in the Excel file, but you can use generic tickets for events too.

Mmm, kinda back where I started. I assume that the database is pulling information from the Excel file...just guess I have to wait and see which is more accurate closer to the day, as they do say the Excel file is going through constant revision.

Next question how close is the convention centre to the airport, as I am trying to consider where is the best place to stay and a really small budget.
 
Still doesn't help orient myself...it is that freeway (as I don't play on renting a car) taht poses the most problems in terms of references. Instead, I will be relying upon public transit or walking and if GenCon will provide shuttle services (but those will probably for the big hotels downtown) are going to be my main modes of transport.
 
If you are staying downtown, you don't need a shuttle service: the hotels are within walking distance. One year, GenCon did provide shuttle service from the hotels near the airport.

Your best bet may be to go onto the GenCon forums and ask if there is anyone who has a hotel in the block and is willing to share a room. Otherwise, the hotels near downtown are probably all booked.

Another option might be to go to the IndyGo bus system website and compare the routes with hotels that you find on sites like hotels.com, Expedia, Travelocity, etc.

I am looking at a hotel/dive located 6850 East 21st Street (don't you love the American Grid system...). It states 11mi but using the freeway (and I will not have a car), how easy would it be to get to the Convention Centre.
 
Again, I suggest looking at the IndyGo bus system website to look at their fixed bus routes and compare them to whatever hotel that you are considering. My guess is that unless the hotel is on a bus route that can get you to the downtown area, getting from the hotel to the convention centre will be difficult.

Ron
 
They have the worst website that I have ever seen save for my own home city of Toronto. Where are the route planning tools?
 
Hasbro really has to get their act together...

Yahoo!!! I am off to GenCon and at two Traveller tables to boot.

Flynn, I will collect on those couple of pints that you owe after the first game. As the first night, I have nothing planned...save, maybe, check out the nightlife if such a thing exists in Indianapolis.

I even managed to get into one of Barton's Cthulhu games plus a Chaosium event!!!

IndyGo, has yet to reply to my email from Friday, enquiring about their routes...so it is official they are worst than the TTC...
 
Sorry... been scarce from the forums lately.

I'll be there. Too bad I see no T20 on the schedule.

There's at least even odds that I'll be running a T20 pickup. Stand by at the ENWorld GenCon forum if interested.
 
I couldn't get any of Flynn's games they're sold OUT :(

Psion, I'd be interested in a T20 game.

Mike
 
Don't forget people there are GT & Interstellar Wars demos...at least, when I was last looking.

So, Flynn, what are you suggest we bring to the table. I did not catch if you will be supplying Pregens and given that I am missing one of your games due to conflicting times, are they going to be run as a campaign or individually?
 
I guess the upside is that at least Traveller remains in someone's consciousness not merely the 8 or so of us who correspond on this forum.

It surprised me, as when I did a search for them using the form, they did not come up except by number, so it meant dedicated people did use and cross-reference with the excel document OR they could have upgraded things...good luck on the pick game and swing by the table to say "hi" and who knows there might be a cancellation.
