Capes at GenCon, Friday night!

This is an open call to everyone who will be at GenCon who wants Capes action.

Ok, I'm looking through the events at GenCon and I realize I am the ONLY person who has a Capes session scheduled.  ACK! 

However, I also have a Games on Demand (G.O.D.) session scheduled for Friday night, from 6 to 10 PM.

So, here are my suggestions:

1) Save my own session of scheduled Capes (from 8 to Noon) for newcomers to Capes.  Even if you would like to play in this session, hold off for a few days after registration opens, then see if it is still available.

2) If you want REAL Capes action, where lots of people who have played before will be playing, show up at the Independent Games Explostion G.O.D. area at 6 PM on Friday night with a generic ticket.  Then, lets play CAPES!   Conceivably, even after 10 PM (when the block officially ends) we can find other space to keep playing for as long as we want.

Personally, I think it would be cool as all get out if we had 2 or 3 tables worth of Capes going on at once, especially if Tony was around, so he could bask in the glory.

So again, save one generic ticket for Friday night, and come play!

Well, I'm certainly all for basking.  Sounds like an excellent plan to me.

I will also be doing Capes at GenCon for GoD.  I'm doing Capes for GOD!  How badass is that?  I need a T-shirt that says that.

Andrew, I just noticed you are on the shift before me (2 - 6 PM) on Friday.  While I won't be there (I'm running Dust Devils during that period), this is a good thing, because it conceivably means people who start playing in the Afternoon could just keep playing through the rest of the evening.   Its find by me, as long as you pony up the generic tickets so that Kat Miller doesn't do unspeakable, horrible things to me.

I can't afford to go to GenCon this year, but last year, I had a couple of scheduled Capes events.

One of them bombed out from lack of attendance.  I was bummed.  But the other went smashingly. 

If I had gone this year, I probably would have kept it more informal.  G.O.D. is a great idea.  I think you will get a lot more for your effort.

Eric,

Didn't you facilitate one of the games I played in?  I think it started in a museum and then ended with a giant bull-thing stomping around the city.  If so, you'll definately be missed this year.  I had a blast.

Yep.  That was it.  I'll miss being there too.  Maybe next year.
