In case you are going and want to plan out your gaming the listing of 9,000 events is now out.
Registration is this Sunday and promises to be just as hectic as the last couple of years. I worked out several alternate calendars to get everything in (scheduling for 4 is a pain).
Lots of Pathfinder, but not as much D&D as I would have liked.
And I'll be honest, out side of a couple of token games, the OSR is really no where to be found. Ok to be fair there are a lot of DCC games, but it's that and Labyrinth Lord
The vendor map is also out now. So you can plan your shopping I guess.

The cool thing though is this is hot linked, so you can also go to the website of the vendors.
A couple of things jumped out at me.
First, Where is WotC?
Second, where is the group that sells all the OSR games? I know that in 2012 they had their own booth but other years had been sharing one.
I was reading somewhere, can't remember where now, but it was earlier in the week, that the number of events is actually down a little from last year.
My guess is that WotC will operate out of the adjoining hall (probably accessed from the left side of the X-Hall map and from the hall by the BattleMech simulators). If they drop 5E at gen Con, this could really help mitigate the crowds in the X-Hall itself.
ReplyDeleteThat makes much more sense.
