So, event registration for GenCon Indy opened today. Any fa/tg/uys besides me going? Anything in particular you guys are looking forward to this year?

I'd love to play some Atomic Highway, but it doesn't look like anyone's running it, according to the registration site.

Oh yeah, nothing better than 10 thousand fat stinking faggots to lust over space marines and 3.5 in between harassing and assaulting anything that might be female! I can't wait to go!

I'm considering it. Never been to one but it's only a 4 hour drive so why not.

It's a hell of a lot of fun. I'd recommend it. I'm only a 3-hour drive away myself, and I go every year. Don't listen to>>14776384

I live in the city. The cops deploy extra units to Gen-Con, *solely* for the purpose of protecting women there.

Think about that. Thousands of people show up with swords, buying swords, fighting with swords, and the cops show up to protect women from being harassed/raped by neckbeards.

>buying swords

Can I buy a katana at Gen Con? This is a dealbreaker for me.

There are usually several women in the group I go with, none of whom have ever had problems with guys being super creepy.

Anyway, I'll be going for my 4th time this year, if whatever job I end up with in the next few weeks allows for it. I spend a lot of time demoing and browsing in the dealer's room, and I'll probably play (win) a 40k tourney or two. I've gotten best general 2/3 of the Gencon tournaments I've been in so far, with my only loss occurring after I had tabled my opponent's army nearly twice in one game with stupid scenario rules.

Or maybe they deploy extra units because it's a fucking convention?

Bullshit. They deploy extra units because it's a fucking convention, you moron. As far as I'm aware, there has *never* been an assault on anyone at the convention. I go every year with a fairly large contingent of ca/tg/irls, and not one of them has ever been harassed more than someone politely asking "Can I take a photo of your costume?" Dipshit.

You can. You can also buy katana replicas for specific series or characters. And, you know, other swords that are cooler. Also some really fucking nice boffer weapons.

I'm excited about the release of Ultimate Combat for Pathfinder, a new edition of Savage Worlds, and (I fucking hope) the GM book for Mutants and Masterminds 3E.

I can't really go, but I'm excited for the release of Fantasy Craft's Spellbound book and possibly the Gear of Legends book, too.

Has this shit been confirmed or even implied? I have a huge boner for Crafty products, but their release schedule is a hatecrime. Gear for the Ages would be soooo legit, I could finally start using FC to run Iron Kingdoms.

I want to do the A Game of Thrones card game League but the only things posted so far are the tournaments.
