So who isn't going to GenCon?

Is anyone out there having a local event for those poor saps (myself included) that aren't attending GenCon? I'm traveling this week and coming weekend so I can't, but couldn't help but wonder if anyone was.

I know that at the very least I'll be furiously checking this site every chance I get starting on Wednesday evening.

No, I am not going to Gencon.

No, I am not hosting an event.

Yes, I am going to DragonCon.

I really wanted to go to Gencon but there was just no way of working it into my schedule.

That can only mean one thing. And I don't know what it is.

Nope - not going. Way too much of a hassle and expense, for gaming benefit.

Frankly, the NorCal Gamedays have reduced the large benefit of Gencon, since we can get together fairly locally and get some great HS gaming in (both friendly and competetive if we want).

Nope, no hosting, not going, but I will be crying,

However I'm now shooting for Anaheim,

I agree that the local DFW gamedays reduce my desire to go to GenCon too, reapersaurus. Getting to play monthly with a larger group fills that gaming need. The thing that is different for me this year is the fact that about half of the DFW faithful are going to be there.

If only I didn't have to go to San Diego.

I would like to be going, but am not nor will I be hosting anything but a Dora birthday party for my little one. To be honest the birthday party will be 10 times better than GenCon...wait who am I kidding?

Honestly, I would rather be with my little girl anyway.

Sadly, I am not attending GenCon Indy...

However, I think I will break out the tiles and 'Scape a bit this weekend, as we all revel in the awe and wonder that is the 'BIG NEWS' to be revealed, as foretold by the Comic-Con attendees.

Well, unless my wife has made plans I don't know about. In that case...

... NO 'SCAPE FOR HEX!

She will be two, much too young for a Heroscape party though...that one will come next year. The funny thing is someone posted a card about Dorascape and while I was taking down my last map she was moving her Dora figures across the hexes perfectly. The people are actually Heroscape size. I guess that is one way to get her started.

I wish both of you guys could make it so you could see that

Gen Con!

is about more than just HS. I bet I will be lucky is 10% of my gaming this week is HS. It's about so much more than that. I think it's great that you have such huge groups that can gather for some hard hitting, knock down Scape...but Gen Con! is about ALL gaming. If you can even go just once you will never forget this. My first game is We @ 3 PM and I don't plan on stopping until 7 PM sun night. I can't wait to play Bison or some of the other new games and oh the dealer room.

Come on guys can I pencil you in for '07?

After having planned to be at this years GenCon only to have a family crisis arise, in addition to moving to a different state, all within less than 7 months, I think pencilling myself in for next year is pretty safe.

Unless Arizona sinks into the ocean or something...
