Gen Con 2024 Roll Call

I thought there might have been a rush on buying GC badges after the announcement of events and FREE figure and lame t shirts
 
Planning on coming for Saturday. Super excited to play heroscape there again. When do the individual tickets for events go on sale? I have only gone to one Gencon (2019). Scapecon is the next weekend so cannot take a two-week vacation in Indiana!
 
Saturday is extremely busy and everyone is trying to get a game in.
I would reserve that as soon as possible. Good luck.
Do you take I69 to Indy? If you stay on that it takes you straight to Meridian.
 
This will be my first Gen Con.

I remember way back in 2005 (?) when they were giving away Nerak the Glacial Swog Rider and I thought "some day I'm going go to Gen Con to play in a tourney and get the Heroscape Exclusive!" :)

Well the years have flown but, and a few things have changed...but this is finally my year!
 
I'll be there!

Looks to me like it's not necessary to enter any prior event to enter the championship, so I'll probably just do that.

If they really get 128 people, they're going to have to get 5 rounds of play done in 4 hours to get a top 4, so that should be an interesting challenge.

300 point armies, and I assume it's "official units only", no C3V, though details are pretty sparse on that.
 
I assume that the pre-made are officials only as well. Can't be aoa since we will not have any yet. Would be great for CV, but I agree that they probably will not allow that. Battle box and not Master Set?
Interesting that the "championship" is also pre-made 300 points.
 
IMO Renegade has WAY over estimated the demand for some of their events.

Curious what makes you say that?

Build your own army event, 96 slots. Championship 128 slots. They are both 4 hour events. If my math is correct it would take 7 hours to get a 20th Anniversary Champ if all 128 slots were full.

And most HARDCORE FAN BOYZ are attend Scape Con III the following week.

Don't get me wrong its awesome they are running official events, something Hasbro nor WotC ever did.

Ultimately I think there is way too much headache involved in an official company event hosting armies with figures from other games, on top of them not having the accountability for the customs as part of their IP.

A lot of Gencon events are small introductory things that almost function as an extended demo, and I imagine that is the role the battle box tournaments are playing. New people coming in and getting a feel for the game based on playing a few rounds with the same 6 figures.
 
Yeah, I will be stunned if they fill up those slots when competing with ScapeCon.
Should be easy pickings for Zomies x5. :zombie:

ScapeCon IV, actually. :D
 
I'll be there, and so will Brad! Once known as KidScaper, 7 years old when we started in this hobby, and now he has a Masters in Engineering and a real job. Time flies.

As for Renegade, we'll see. Will my 'Scaping friends be there? I don't know. It's hard to feel motivated when I can go to local 'Scape events and play with my friends. I'll definitely check them out. I hope it's a hit.

edit: If I'm running Renegade's Scape events, I don't want any part of C3V or SoV or anything. Fantastic designs, but if I'm Renegade, I am looking to build my own brand. And the new designs are awesome.
 
I'm so excited to be going... I'm posting that i'm going twice! :)
