So what are we playing in the car?

So what are we playing in the car? PFS? Something else?

Is Bruce going to run something as has become tradition or is someone else taking a turn?

In the same vein, what do we want to play for Wednesday night and Sunday night? Do we want to have something planned ahead of time or do we want to play it by ear?

Gen Con Schedule

Updated 5/20 after Soulless Ginger update.  This should be final.

Event registration is on 5/17/15

Event registration is on 5/17/15.


The only games I know that I want to play for sure are: 

#6-99 - True Dragons of Absalom (Saturday night 7:00 PM)

#6-98 - Serpents Rise (Sunday morning 9:00 AM)

 

These are the convention specials where you get to play pregen Kobold and Aspis characters.

Do we all want to play? Should I plan to get 5 tickets for each event?

Riding to Indy in Style

I tried to get us a Cadillac Escalade but was thwarted.

I was able to secure a Buick Enclave for our trip to Indy this year. I am not sure of the actual seating plan but it looks like it it comes in 7 and 8 passenger configurations. Also I am not sure if it will have a roof rack or not but the vehicle is surely bigger than my Terrain. I will bring my cartop carrier just in case. If there is no roof rack I just will leave it in my car.

I will need to pick the vehicle up in Warren on the Wednesday morning we are leaving. I can get it as early as 7:00 AM. I expect that means that I will pick up Steve on my way to get Bruce. From there we will pick up the vehicle and then head over to Dave's. Does David want to ride with us or does he plan to drive again? If we are picking him up, he will be the last stop before hitting the road.

What time do we want to plan to be on the road? It will likely take us 5.5 hours, give or take, including stops. Traffic and construction could also extend that. What time is check-in at the hotel?

I am not sure how this company car process works as I have not done it before. I am getting one for this Memorial Day so I will have been through the process once before Gen Con. I expect to have a better understanding in a few weeks. If anything I have laid out above will not work, we will adjust the plan at that point.

The only real downside is that I must be in the vehicle when it is driven. I can drive or be a passenger. Since we are staying within walking distance of the con this year, I do not see that as a huge issue.

Expenses will mostly be gas. Might cost more than my Terrain but if we only take one vehicle it should be less overall. Will also have to get a car wash before returning it and will be taxed some for the perk of having the vehicle. I expect that will be about $40. (Again I will have a better idea after I go through the process on Memorial Day.)
