Chatty’s Gen Con (and contest update)

It’s done, I just purchased my plane tickets for Gen Con Indianapolis 2008.

I will be there mostly for one thing, and it’s meeting with fellow bloggers, readers and some industry people I’ve quipped and had fun with since I have been online (You better have those Electo-fluff cannons ready and buffed Mr. Baur).

I have been absolutely unable to tame the Gen Con reservation app so I decided that I would let others decide for me.

To that effect, I will therefore be a Season 0 Paizo Pathfinder Society GM for 4 sessions (Thursday morning and Afternoon, Friday morning and Afternoon). So maybe one of you (un)lucky readers will have to endure my horrendous French accent® while I gleefully walk you through one one the 4 scenarios.

On top of it all, they’re paying for my badge! Weeee!

I also registered to try RPGPundit’s Forward to Adventure game on Thursday night (ID: RPG01714). However, I’m still the only one who registered… so feel free to join me and I will pay a few drinks to any reader who joins me (or we’ll blow the game and go drinking with the GM who publishes Pundit’s game, see below).

On Saturday Morning, I will co-host a two-hour GM preparation Seminar with DNAPhil, Vicky Potter and Zach Houghton.

On Sunday morning, I’ll join the Stupid Ranger Crew to participate in some sort of crazy ass open-ended RPG.

I’m also up for a yet undisclosed RPG Blogger seminar.

If possible, I want in on an Industry party like Paizo’s or Wotc’s!!! (anyone connected enough to get me in?).

Also, I still hope to get an invite for the Ennies (I submitted the website, like I promised in my New Year’s goals) but I’m not banking on this too much.

So that leaves me with quite a lot of free time. I’d love to spend some meeting some of you, playing games and getting roaring drunk!

Here’s what I would like to do:

• Set up a D&D 4e game in my Hotel Room (the Hyatt) with some of my close online buddies. I’d love to DM an adventure of my own or whatever exclusive script someone would like to submit to me for playtesting.
• Go to dinner with the Stupid Ranger Crew as promised last year.
• Get to meet and greet people!
• Get free swag! (One can hope!)

I would love, love love to have a get together on one of the evenings! Friday night if I don’t make the Ennies would be great or Thursday.

Anyone available?

Contest Update:

Our latest contest is going strong (but I know it could be stronger). A lot of people are becoming interested in it.

In fact, James and Harry of Men with Pens/Capturing Fantasy/Escaping Reality have offered to join the action and add prizes of their own:

• 1 hardcover copy of White Wolf’s World of Darkness
• 1 copy of their ebook, “How to Get what you Want Out of RolePlaying”
• 1 copy of thier ebook, “How to Create a Believable Character”
• Maybe something else!

Now Harry is a hardcore World of Darkness fan and he’s got an army of fluff minions that could give us a run for our money. You guys need to throw in your lot massively before his crowd drowns us in creative writing-fueled characters!
