Hotel Secured (You Owe Me Money)

OK. I now have the Hotel info.

We are once again staying at the HILTON INDIANAPOLIS (120 West Market Street, Indianapolis, IN 46204). The pictures of the room look the same as the one we had last year.

Originally the reservation was for 6 nights (Tuesday - Monday) with a total of $1509.30. I adjusted the reservation, changing it to 5 nights (Wednesday - Monday). The new total came out to $1257.75. Since there are only four of us going that will be $314.44 EACH.

I modified the registration to put my name, contact info and credit card on it. As far as I know, we are all set.

Hotel Update

I heard back from Jeff. Here is what he had to say:

The good news is that I requested a room for you and your buddies in the exhibitor block, but it had to be in the same hotel as the other Studio 2 rooms. They're not letting us split rooms like before, but that means I've requested a room in the Embassy Suites or Hilton Downtown Suites (120 Market St.). I haven't gotten confirmation on that yet, but I'm fairly optimistic, since Studio 2 has been getting rooms in the Hilton without a problem for several years.

I am confident that we will get a room. I asked for two queens and a pull out couch.

We have stayed at the Embassy Suites before. The elevators were really the only issues. The hotel has just been remodeled as seen by last year's construction so it may be greatly improved. The Hilton is where we stayed last year. I thought it was a nice hotel and it was close to the convention center. Neither is terrible but they are not quite as spacious as the Staybridge.

Are we good with going this route or do folks want to take other action? Who is planning on going this year? Are we still looking at Bruce, Dave, Steve, David and myself?

This is the Pathfinder stuff I was talking about

New Pathfinder Module: Heroes For Highdelve

To celebrate Gen Con 50, show Co-Sponsor Paizo, licensee Games & Gears, and Gen Con have teamed up to provide a new Pathfinder adventure, featuring Gen Con’s Ranger, Orc, Dwarf, and Sorcerer characters. The story takes place in Pathfinder's world of Golarion, and features these characters in an engaging story where players create their own path. This story takes place in a part of the world that fully fits into the Pathfinder canon, and is one you won’t want to miss! This module is appropriate for new players, as well as seasoned veterans, and was written by Paizo’s Amanda Hamon Kunz.

   

To enhance the module, Paizo has produced a new flip-mat “Cavernous Lair” featuring a 24” x 30” dungeon map, and Games & Gears has produced Gen Con Legends Miniatures.

Find Heroes For Highdelve and the Cavernous Lair flip-mat in Paizo Booth #103, or any of these and the miniatures in Games & Gears Booth #2402!

The other Tamale Place

Have we tried the new Tamale Place?  It's run by the same people (at least according to the pictures) and it's 3 blocks away from the hotel!
