The competition is looking pretty stiff, exciting stuff!

Also, aren't you in France @Foudzing ? If so that's amazing you're making the trip!

I won't be able to secure the funds in time to come, sorry to have missed this.

Now that we are a little under 2 months away from Scapecon East, when can we expect to see the events/map pools?

[OEAO]

Maps and events will be posted by the end of the month (and earlier if they're ready)!

Hotel information and badge payments will open up this weekend. Everyone must sign-up on HeroScape.org so that I can quickly send information to everyone.

If you have not created an account, you will need to do so. Once you have, join the ScapeCon East convention here: https://heroscape.org/convention/?Convention=4.

One last note: we've cut the night event time slot, and are readjusting other time slots to allow for people to have adequate time to get food. Open gaming (both HeroScape and other games) at night.

Games will begin at 2PM on Friday, and we will finish all games on Monday by 1PM.

Map setup on Friday will probably be around noon or so. I'll organize a map thread once the pool is posted, and people can sign up to bring maps.

That's great! Noted.

[OEAO]

We're getting a few final things sorted out with the hotel, but we're good to go for ScapeCon East! We are currently full.

If you are no longer attending, please let me know ASAP so I'm not holding a spot for you. We are currently at capacity, but I'm happy to add anyone who wants to be added to a waitlist.

If you are attending, please sign up on the .org site ASAP. The hotel block will close on October 10, so you will need to book your room by then if you want to get the group rate (about $30 cheaper a night). I will send all payment information via the .org site (we're currently working out an issue regarding the group code). Do not book your room until I have the code- we have the rooms secured; the code just doesn't work right now.

Please do not add yourself to the .org list if you are not on the going list on heroscapers- you will be removed from the list. We are currently full. Again, I can add you to a waitlist on scapers.

Events and maps will be up by the end of the month.

My friend is now saying he'll only come for a day now (Nov 12th) and probably will not compete, is this okay? If so, should free up a spot on the attendee list!

We have worked out the issues with the room block and it is now live. I booked my room and OEAO/Hounds Rule's room today. OEAO will be sending out the code for the room block group rate and venmo info for badges tomorrow on heroscape.org.

Unlike the Indy hotel, there is no link for the room sign ups. You can either call the hotel (609-702-5800) and get transferred to a central reservation site and book your room or you can book online through the hotel's website or IHG.com. If you call, make sure you give the group code that OEAO is sending out. Otherwise we don't get credit towards our 10 room per night minimum and you will pay in the neighborhood of $160 after tax per night instead of $116 per night after tax.

If you book on line when it gives you the option for rates scroll down towards the bottom for group rate and enter the code. I booked online and for 3 nights each room came to about $350 total. We are coming in on Friday 11/10 and checking out on Monday 11/13. You can book at the same rate if you want to stay on Thursday night. Let me know (you can either post or pm me) if you have a problem with that or any other issues with booking rooms.

Please remember that you need to book by 10/9 to get the group rate.

Just booked my room.

For anyone else who books online through IHG.com, the way to use the group code is, when doing the room search, to change 'Best Available' rate to 'Group Rate', then you can enter the code OEAO emailed out. Took me 2 tries to get that right, so thought I'd share.
