    I'll be there. My standard "This is where my old college friends all get together every year and I tend to be busy with them" warning applies (and I've been worse than usual at even token appearances at the Playgrounder meetups the last few years). I tend to wear the playground-avatar badge that I got from Alarra several years ago on my lanyard, though, so feel free to say hi if you spot me wandering.

    In case anyone was unaware, event registration opened today, so get in on anything that you want that requires it.

    Also, anyone interested in doing a True Dungeon run? Tickets aren't sold out yet, though I wouldn't expect that to be true for too long.

    I failed to get in on early motels and they are now ridiculous in cost for GenCon.

    Since I have a few trips I have to figure out this year, my going is dependent on if someone here has room for two in their motel (of which I can pay for my two parts of).

    Don't feel too bad, Lex. I'm probably not going to go either. Combination of so many friends not going and a big family reunion thing the weekend before make me feel like I should give it a miss this year.

    I definitely wouldn't consider my self rich by any stretch. Proper accounting and responsibility over you finances is the single biggest factor.

    I can't speak for others, but living close by helps. A lot. Other than that, despite my not-at-all-impressive pay, I live well enough within my means that over the course of a year I've saved more than enough (without even specifically trying to save) to go, stay in a hotel, and buy whatever I want. It's pretty much my single biggest expense any given year.

    All things included, I spend around $600-$800 each time. Sometimes more.

    I will be there the whole time & Tyckspoon is trying to get off work. We recently moved into a two bedroom apartment so if anybody needs sleeping space, we could accommodate two or three people that don't mind a 30 minute drive to the convention center.

    Yeah, I am not seeing it. Maybe they just haven't posted it yet. I don't think it's hit the cutoff yet. If it's not going to happen, though, just one less reason for me to go this year.

    Feels wrong, not wanting to go. This year would be my ninth straight. That alone makes me want to go. But at the same time, intellectually, I know that's a terrible reason to want to go. There's still a couple months to go til then. Maybe something will come up that grabs my attention enough.

    I don't know about Uber, but the other one with the stupid pink mustaches on their cars is around. Never actually used it myself.

    For all those attending Gencon, you should check out the free event : the ENnies - it's the award ceremony for Gencon and all things RPG.

    I've been toying with the idea of just going on Saturday. However, the aforementioned family gathering is getting rescheduled to an as-yet-undetermined date because the cabin they rented was already taken and it took this long for anyone there to realize it. Depending on when they finally nail down the dates, I'll probably show up Saturday (and do the RDI tournament, of course).

    I wish it was in Milwaukee too. Not because I don't thoroughly enjoy Indianapolis, but because it'd give me an excuse to ride the ferry between Muskegon, MI and there.
