Now that the 2011 AGOT Regional Championships season is over half way through, who plans to play in the 2011 AGOT World Championship at GenCon Indy this August?

I myself most definitely will be attending.

From DC, it looks like we will have three others: Corey, Dan 2.0, Steve. I think Jack is likely to come as well, so make it four.

From WI, I know that we will have at least two others from my old gaming crew (possibly up to five), and I expect that number to be higher once we survey the rest of the crew.

Dan 1.0/twn2dn from NYC will want to chime in for himself, but at this point I know it's near certain that he'll be making his first GenCon appearance as well. I know Anthony/FATMOUSE have expressed interest in coming as well, but I have my doubts that he'll put forth the effort/money to show up this year.

Ulrich from Germany will be staying in our hotel rooms this year, making the tournament truly international and adding one to the count for both days.

And Rick from NC and his brother Michael also are staying in our rooms and planning on playing in Worlds -- another +2.

So counting Dan/twn2dn, as few as 11 players will be coming from those various crews, and as high as 14-15 or more. This is up from four in the melee last year, and two in the joust -- this kind of growth is ridiculously exciting!

Based on hotel reservations and pre-planning, we should have 10 from the Valar Midwestous meta, which is around the same number we had last year. I'm not sure if all of these people will play in all of the Thrones events, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of our newer meta-members make a surprise trip out there, bumping our numbers up.

I'm doing my best to come down from where I reside north of the wall in the land of always winter (ie. Canada) but it could really go either way.

I'm definitely planning to make it this year - will be my first GenCon. I believe that Bloodycelt wants to go as well, but would be better to confirm him on here rather than going on my word.

What CP sets will all be out by the time it rolls around? All of them for this cycle?

Once Jay realizes that my the extra bye that I would have received for the NYC regional passes down to him because I already had one from DC, I think he'll be inclined to make another GenCon appearance this year.

Going by the current release schedule, it seems like we'll have only the first four chapter packs for the tourneys at GenCon.

The Cincinnati Meta has doubled in size so far from last year. Six of us are planning on competing at GenCon by my count. Unfortunately, Mike Pateras has retired from aGoT to play Rift full time

I'll have confirmed names closer to the event. Todd, Dave, and Sandy will be back for sure, though. We look forward to donating our power to you all again

I will be making my first GenCon appearance this year playing in both melee and joust, slowly building a meta here in Indiana...

Sorry, I don't go this year to the Indy... May be next year. Or Not

Good luck for this "world"

No sarcasm... I really wish a "good luck" for all participant of the Indy

I'll be at Gencon this year, but I don't plan on playing in any of the AGoT events.

Should be 6-8 of the regulars from TN there, not counting any of the new players we can drag along. Not all of those will be playing in all of the Game of Thrones events.

Confirmed: Wade, Rob, Tony, Chris, Nathan, Nate, and myself.

Probables: John, Sean

We'll see if we can't talk some more into tagging along, however, among those the crew from middle TN that came to our Regionals!

I will definitely be attending GenCon this year, along with Chaos, DeathJester, and Chaos' brother from the CA Meta. I'm not sure who else from out meta is headed out there.

I am about 80% right now.

I'm 95% certain to be there and play in both Melee and Joust. Brian (goshdarnstud) isn't sure yet.

In... and actually playing both Joust & Melee this time. Can't speak for any more of Iowa yet, but I hope that I'll have at least broken the ice to see a groupd drive down I-74.

~I'm just an old guy who's trying to re-learn this game after three years away. If I can figure out what I'm doing....I'll try to stop by.

Well, if you don't participate... I think the victor's gonna have to take an asterisk...

I pre registered, for both joust and meele. (Last year the day everyone else was playing meele, I was just plain bored... so might was well do something.)

I noticed no highlander?

I still have to put in the v/c time in at work (which may take some convincing since we have several apps going live that weekend this year).

I'll post here once the v/c is in their scheduler and hence I can book my hotels and what-not with impunity.

I'll be there as well. Some of my MTG friends are going so I will be able to come with them. As far as I know, I will be the only person from the FFG MN meta going if Nickler doesn't come.

Two from Nebraska again.

I will try not to dry heave on anyone's cards (oh, how I miss Tzumainn).

I've been thinking seriously about heading to GenCon (from MN) this year.

I'd like to play in both AGoT and W:I. I wonder what sort of overlap there is... time to go check the schedules and do some pre-registering.

Can't promise anything regarding dry heaving on anyone's cards (sounds like an interesting story though).

Papa

May be attending this year with one or two from the Ottawa Canada area.

I'm hoping I can make it. If my wife is willing to watch our what is then 4 week old. *crosses fingers*
