Gamehole Con 2021

[OGRE MAGE]

I can’t remember if this topic was started already, but I couldn’t find it in a search, so…

Who’s planning on attending this year?

What is everyone running?

Looking forward to a real live convention this fall!

Here are the 2 games I submitted, if anyone cares. https://www.gameholecon.com/events#conI ... tNew=false (the first 2, not the COC)

Big Shiny Entertainment?
Sounds familiar:D

[Rex]

Your games look like fun!

[Scott308]

I think I'll attend. Probably play a game or two.

I really wanted to play in your Metal Church game, but a friend from out of state is running Pendragon and they overlap. We played in a Pendragon campaign (a couple, actually) back when he lived in Madison, and I told him that was going to be my number one game, so I really can't NOT play it. If you run this at Gary Con, I'm probably only going to go on Saturday but would make this my number 1 priority if it doesn't sell out before I can register.

FIFY

I guess I can omit all the parts I designed specifically for you and whatever shirt you were wearing then.

Ron’s right! I looked at your schedule. You are a lunatic!

Thanks!

I hear Wisconsin is beautiful in October. If you fancy a lengthy trip, I could hold a seat for you.

Seriously? You actually designed parts of the adventure for me? If so, I HAVE to play this one. Dammit, Rob! Now I have to readjust my schedule. And I got my daughter to play Pendragon with me. She did mention your game, so she probably wouldn't mind switching. I can pick up another one of Ed's games earlier in the day, so that won't be too big a hassle. Figures- 2000 events, and three of the top 4 games I want to play overlap.

I am going to add another game on Sunday, just haven't figured out what I want to play yet. Besides, this is easy- I'm only playing for 17 straight hours at the most. Last Gamehole, I had a 40 hour stretch.

One of my brothers lives in Wisconsin, usually visit in November so we can hunt.

No, not really. (that's why I put the laughing emoji afterwards)

You don't need to switch anything around for my sake, but if you really are interested in playing in it, I will be running a play test at sometime before the con. Probably early October, if you think you could make that instead.

I didn't even know Ed moved out of the Madison area.

[Scott308]

Yeah, he retired earlier this year and moved back to Michigan. His mom's getting up there in years, so he moved in to help her out.

[Scott308]

I do want to play it. Maybe I'll have to see if I can drive up to play test it.

That works!

I will keep you posted when I get the possible dates figured out.

That's right. I thought I remembered you saying that you had ties here.

[Rex]

Yup, usually visit every year but Covid messed it up last year and work has this year.

[dmw71]

I'm still on the fence about whether I'll be actually attending the con this year. The idea of being crammed into a confined space with so many people, even with this:

Finally, this seems like a good time to restate our main Covid policy. Unless you are younger than 12 years old and therefore not eligible for the vaccine, you must be vaccinated or you cannot attend Gamehole Con. We hope that this has been made abundantly clear. We are not willing to put our younger attendees or anyone else at unnecessary or avoidable risk.

One of my biggest "complaints" about the first (and last) time I attended was how crowded it was. I only played in one game, but the room was PACKED with tables, and every table was fun.

While I'm probably worth more to my family dead than alive -- I'm only half-joking -- I'm still not sure how comfortable I am about willingly subjecting myself to that environment again. Not yet.

If anything, I'll probably explore the Virtual Gamehole Con options.

Rob runs an awesome game! Here and there.

I was able to spectate on one of his for maybe an hour or so in 2019 and his group definitely had fun.

Rob (or Scott, or anyone), are you familiar with the rooms where your games will be held?

Kegonsa - Table 195
Boardroom - Table 186

Schedule-wise, your Thursday game (Metal Church) works better for me.

Even though, as has been established, I would almost certainly fall into the "hairspray posers" category before I would "role-playing metalheads" group.

Weekends are tougher for me, but the description of your To Air is Human game sound really cool, too, though!

[OGRE MAGE]

Thanks for the kind words, Dave! I totally understand your situation and respect any decision you make. No shame in being cautious.

Kegonsa is right next to the room I ran the game you saw at the last con. 7-8 tables or so.

The Boardroom is the all glass room that overlooks the convention center, where the special guest games are run. Only 6 tables in there, I think.
