Yes, we will be back for Gen Con 2019.<br />
Yes, we have already submitted our events to Gen Con, probably even most of them.<br />
Yes, Gen Con has made some sign of looking at them.<br />
Yes, some of our games have been written.<br />
Yes, some of our games have actually been playtested, with more to come.<br />
And Yes, we wish it was time to leave for Indianpolis too.<br />

Not the JW Marriott like the last 2 years,<br />
More like the Marriott Downtown for years before that.<br />
But this time ... we appear to have a room on the second floor right by the bridge. Not at the farthest corner in the back.<br />
ALWAYS CHECK YOUR TICKETS - LARPS and many events are in different places than the main table top rpg room. <br />
<br />
Hopefully this will make us easier to find. But the different noise level will be interesting.<br />
<br />
As is tradition, some of us have already left our homes heading to Indianapolis. We should all be there by late Wednesday night.<br />
<br />
Very excited to see our friends, long time returning gamers, and soon to be new fast friends.<br />

We love this weekend, but we are always wary. Will we sell out? Will the players who are so excited this weekend still be excited in August? How many tickets? How many no-shows?<br />
<br />
It's enough to keep a helper up at night.<br />
<br />
Oh, and we often try to get tickets for us to play, so don't hog all the tickets, ok?<br />

There is some shuffling of time slots, and a general feeling that we may need a larger room.<br />
<br />
This year we have some new GM's, some old GM's taking control of the big Champions Tournament, and one old time friend joining the ranks.<br />
<br />
Anyone need a score card?<br />

(but in a slightly new place)The staff of Infinite Imaginations is on the move, several members of the senior staff were on the road today, and most of the rest of us will be there before the dinner call on Wednesday. There is much excitement, and several anxiety attacks (where are my minis!?!)<br />
<br />
-T<b>his year all the TABLE TOP RPGs are in the JW Marriott</b>. That's the newer, really tall hotel to the east of the convention center, on West Street, between Maryland and Washington.<br />
<br />
-As always, read your tickets, and seek help from the convention staff.<br />
<br />
-We still take generics! Come by and see if there are open seats! (there are always a few at one of the games).<br />
<br />
-If you have to drop out of a game, it would be extra nice of you to drop off your tickets with us. We will trade out generics whenever possible, limited only by our own current stock of generics to trade.<br />
<br />
-WE can't wait to see you all.<br />
<br />
- Game safely<br />

Thanks for coming and playing. Hope you were here for the tickets you got, hope you were able to generic into those you couldn't, or were pleased at the surprise game you dropped into.<br />

We really appreciate the openness many of you had to just playing a game with us.<br />

but since we've been running games since the '80's you really shouldn't

<br />
Remember, if you can't get tickets for the game(s) you wanted, by and bring generics. We often have players who don't show up.<br />
<br />
And since III is usually assigned a room, we can help you find other games with like minded GMs.<br />
<br />
What games did you get?<br />

There are rumors of new games already, I've even seen some descriptions. And there are many returning favorites.<br />

<br />
4 games were put through their paces, and the GM's received feedback from the happy playtesters. Most of us got to play in games that we would never get to play at GEN CON otherwise.<br />
<br />
Games are better if you get to test them. The story becomes more clear, certain player choices get tried, missing logic or clues can be filled in and new characters get written, read and edited.<br />
<br />
It was great to see folks, and game together one extra time a year. Thanks for the games, and thanks to the players for hanging out and keeping us all up too late ... again.<br />
