The Dice Monkey GenCon Schedule
Yes, that’s right! We’re going to tell you exactly where we’ll be!
(Note there are a lot of board games here. We actually play a lot of board games here at home, so we’re happy to get out there and play some we’ve never tried before.)
Let’s start with Friday, our first day there. We’re assuming I’m going to be able to get that Friday off work to drive down.
FRIDAY
11:00: “I’m Wil Wheaton, and I’m a Gamer“: We’re going to go see my “Wil Save” himself, Bridget’s old pen pal. I’m really looking forward to the opportunity to talk to him.
12:00: Mouse Guard: Winter 1152: This is my Mouse Guard game I’ll be running. If you’re interested, contact me on Twitter. My handle is @markmeredith. This will run for a couple of hours.
3:00: Warhammer Fantasy RP 3e: This is the Warhammer game I’ll be running. Again, if you’re interested, etc. We’ve already got a few people interested.
And that’s it for my scheduled stuff. Bridget and I are going to go on a date that night, since we don’t have much time to when we’ve got the munchkin in tow. That evening, we’ll be milling about, so if you’re interested in hanging out, I’ll be on Twitter all weekend.
SATURDAY
10:00: Guillotine: We’re excited to play some Guillotine, one of our favorite card games.
2:00: Ticket to Ride with Europa 1912 Expansion: Bridget’s never played, so we’ll be using this to occupy our time until…
4:00: GM’s Jam: I’ll be on this panel with Zach from RPG Blog II and a few others. We’ll be talking about RPGs and how to be a better GM.
6:00: Atlantis: This is a board game we’ll be playing. Neither of us have played, and we’re interested in seeing how it turns out.
8:00: Media Meet & Greet: We’ll be here to chat with anyone about blogging and podcasting. We really look forward to seeing all the RPG Bloggers there!
After that, we’re pretty much free! I’ll have my phone synched with Twitter to get any @’s.
SUNDAY
Sunday we’ve only got two events planned.
10:00: Hey, That’s My Fish: This is another board game we’ve been interested in playing.
12:00: The Adventurers: This game by AEG looks pretty awesome.
And beyond that, we’ll be free for other activities.
We’re looking at hitting up some other events in our free time: Tower of Gygax, WotC’s Lair of the Dread Witch, Dark Sun, some free painting, perhaps one of the HirstArts seminars, and the MechWarrior Simulators.
I look forward to seeing a lot of people there, including some game designers and the guys from Fear the Boot. And getting some interviews and an episode recorded for RPG Circus, of course.
If there are any events we’re missing that are going to be big, let us know! If you want us to play in your games, let us know!
