I'm on my plane heading to Indy for GenCon. I will be posting updates on my blog throughout the con. I'll post the links here in this thread.

I'm hoping to get some info on the Corellian Conflict and should have coverage of the tournament. Let me know if there are questions that you want asked.

You have a plane ?

Private jet. With a stripper pole, like Tony Stark. Or maybe it was Ned Stark? Can't remember.

Looking forward to more spoilers about the new objectives, as well as the new objective type, myself

thx, much appreciated!

Wish I could be there, but Shmitty live color commentary will get me through my work week!

I'm sure Shmitty will do a wonderful job......

....

I've just heard enough about GenCon already and its depressing me.

Same reason I am: we aren't going and we're bothered by it (also, the exclusivity is a thing).

Ah that makes sense. I am in the same boat with the "What the crap with all these things going on in the middle of the week so I can't go" stuff, but I was thrown off by the "heard enough" comment, since other than the general "I can't go" problem I have heard literally nothing about the event. Wanted to make sure there wasn't some additional crap going on that I somehow missed.

I am with Dras and FoaS on this. The swag and such can be maddening

Totally. How would one know say 3-6 months ago that one should have paid super attention to this Con to attend? One doesn't just jump into a car and drive to GenCon.

Sure GenCon is GEN-FRIGGIN-CON, still.

Not everyone can attend this, nor can they hit NOVA or other ones like this. Some might just be able to afford one trip or such.

...and some might live in a forgotten corner of Europe...dreaming of going...but never making it...such a sad story.

Used to work at an airfield that did a lot of heavy maintenance of airliners, there was one that sat on the tarmac for a while that had been owned by some uber-wealthy Arab guy - the cabin was basically plated with gold, it cost more than the actual aircraft.

I wished I'd picked ridiculously wealthy as an option now, instead of public servant, I to could have jetted to Gen con in my gold plated, pole dancer decked flying pleasure palace....... Oohhhh welllllll........

Just got to find the right public. I'm doing pretty darn well, making about double the average national rate of my position.

Oh, so you're that Saudi prince with the gold-plated jet. I'm not certain the term public "servant" really applies to that government.

Lol no really I work for a certain major west coast city. Most of them pay at our near the very top of the industry. Cops and firefighters just out of basic start around $90k forexample. I work in a communications field and I'm trying to get into emergency service dispatch.

Cost of living is pretty high, but there's nothing preventing you from commuting from somewhere cheaper. I'm just living relatively frugal and using spare cash for gaming.

So apart from shmitty's flight habits... are there any updates?

Not yet.

I'm in line for my press badge. The exhibit hall opens in a couple of hours and the tournament check in an hour after that.

I'm watching them put the Armada prizes in the case.

Wow, the glossy plastic VSD I card is amazing.

Pics on the blog soon.

Not many people around yet. And i'm watching the respawn of the prizes as well
