2024 Conventions - Meetups, Discussion, Etc.

Anyone here plan on going to any conventions this year? Might be a little late to ask this right before May, but several are still coming up including a couple of the big ones. Personally, I am going to Buckeye Game Fest down in Columbus this upcoming Saturday. I have no real gameplan, but I wanted to try out a smaller convention to see how things differ. Might bring Inis and see if I can't wrangle some passersby into a game.

I also plan on returning to GenCon this year. I am working with the some company as last year to do demos, this year being Dwellings of Eldervale which should be a blast.

I'm going to do Friday and Saturday at Gen Con this year, although I have yet to get a hotel room thanks to the housing block being gobbled up before my randomly assigned hotel registration time even occurred.

I want a room downtown so I keep checking, but no luck yet.

I think I'm going to skip GenCon this year and go to NashCon instead. August 15-18 Nashville, TN. Mostly historical miniatures but a lot of other gaming too.

My FLGS is throwing an inaugural "SonomaCon" here in Santa Rosa at the end of August. Not too much information yet, but I'll go to support if I can.

I bought an official Warcry Organized Play kit on eBay for 40 bucks a couple months ago, and it includes a nice engraved glass Store Champion trophy. I keep thinking about running an event locally for fun.

Y'all are welcome to visit my humble little convention in Southern Maryland. Better yet, host an event!

(and I'll see some of you at Gen Con and NOVA OPEN)

I'm finally filling out the trifecta: I'm doing WBC. Got an AirBNB on site that's cheaper than the hotel, and it's 500y from the front door basically. Allows me to have a full kitchen and cook my own meals which saves me a bunch and also prohibits me from getting food poisoning.

I don’t know of any AirBnB quite as close as 500 yards, but there are certainly tons within a few minutes drive . Many are at the top of the ski slope, so during certain hours you can ride the chairlift up and down .

I dunno, I think you can pull this off still.
