ScapeCon East: November 10-13, 2023
ScapeCon East: November 10-13, 2023 Holiday Inn Express Burlington/Mount Holly 18 Western Drive, Westampton, NJ 08060 United States ScapeCon East is a 4-day HeroScape convention brought to you by the organizers of ScapeCon. It is a smaller, cheaper convention in New Jersey, with a focus on approachability. Unlike ScapeCon, meals are not provided (although the hotel provides free breakfast and free water and coffee all day). Your badge covers all your gaming (and the cost of the prizes). The prizes will be ScapeCon 2023 dice and order markers. Rough Driving Distances: Boston: 5 hours 15 mins Philly: 45 minutes DC: 3 hours Player Cap: 30 players (we are getting the specifics of the room in the next week or so, but 30 players seems possible) Rooms: $102 a night with free breakfast (comes to $116 with tax all-in) You must book your room by 10/10/23 to get the group rate. I will post again when I have the group rate code. Hotel Cost for the Ballroom: None as long as our group books 10 hotel rooms a night. We need 10 booked each night (30 rooms total)! I think we should make this- we're at 9 already. For now, it should be fine for people to have more than 2 per room. However, if we can’t get 10 rooms booked, we will need to charge more to cover the cost of the room. Those who are not staying in the hotel, or who are staying in the hotel with more than 2 people per hotel room, will be charged a surcharge to cover the cost of the ballroom. At a maximum, this would be the cost of the additional hotel rooms we would need to rent (and this extra charge would still be less for each individual charged than if they had to get their own room). If necessary, we will try to negotiate down the price with the hotel. I hate having to police this, but this is the only fair way to do it. Badge cost: Full Badge: $40 1-Day Badge: $20 I'll post again when we are accepting payments (we'll accept payments once we have the hotel room group code). Refunds: I'd ask that you let us know as soon as you know you can no longer make it. We can issue refunds for your badge. EVENTS MAPS In The Area (maximum 7 minute drive from the hotel): Restaurants: Applebee’s Boston Market Burger King Calcarb Chick-Fil-A Christopher’s Deli and Caterers Cool Breeze Frozen Treats and Eats Cracker Barrel Dickey’s Barbeque Pit Dunkin’ IHop Jing’s Sushi House Marblehead Chowder House McDonald’s Papa Johns Pizza Pizza 541 Pizza Hut Pizza Village Recovery Sports Grill Sals Pizzeria Starbucks Subway Taco Bell TGI Fridays The Bagel Zone Villa Pizza Wendy’s Westampton Family Diner Wingstop Groceries/Essentials: Acme Markets CVS Lidl ShopRite Target Walmart Westampton Liquors Going: 1.

Not likely that I'd be able to make this...but I'll keep it in the back of my mind if I have another $1,000 randomly show up for travel haha

Re: ScapeCon East: November 10-13, 2023
I am interested in going, however, I am unsure I can stay the entire time. Would that be an issue with badges (I see there is only a Full and 1 Day badge option) or with hotel bookings through your rate?

More details in case we don't hit 30 rooms booked:
Hotel Cost for the Ballroom: None as long as our group books 10 hotel rooms a night. We need 10 booked each night (30 rooms total)! I think we should make this- we're at 9 already. For now, it should be fine for people to have more than 2 per room. However, if we can’t get 10 rooms booked, we will need to charge more to cover the cost of the room. Those who are not staying in the hotel, or who are staying in the hotel with more than 2 people per hotel room, will be charged a surcharge to cover the cost of the ballroom. At a maximum, this would be the cost of the additional hotel rooms we would need to rent (and this extra charge would still be less for each individual charged than if they had to get their own room). If necessary, we will try to negotiate down the price with the hotel. I hate having to police this, but this is the only fair way to do it. Edit: Also, we can refund badges- I forgot to put this in the OP. Casters of Valhalla: THE Competitive HeroScape Podcast!

Re: ScapeCon East: November 10-13, 2023
whoa...wait...putting this altogether...so this event would be $40 all-in? i.e. whatever it costs me to travel is obviously my own cost...but other than that, it'd be $40 to play all weekend AND include the Hotel + breakfast? (and obviously my own cost to feed myself for lunch/dinner)
If that's the case...that's awfully tempting. I may have to see if I can swing a small road trip Sir Heroscape's Content

The rate is really reasonable though- $116 a night after tax. Edit: I've clarified in the posts- sorry for the confusion Casters of Valhalla: THE Competitive HeroScape Podcast!

Not an issue! The full badge would cover all 2+ days you can attend. Hope you can make it!

If this goes well, and the interest is there to run it again in the future, it will be easier to negotiate once we have established a relationship with the hotel staff. As you might imagine, it is always an interesting conversation when I speak to a sales director or a general manager about a group of people renting meeting space to play a game. Not what the hotel staff is used to, but they look forward to having us in Indy every summer, and hopefully will want us back in Jersey. |
