But yeah, overscheduling can always be a problem, and for some people underscheduling is just as big a problem. Nobody enjoys feeling like they are constantly running from one event from the other and never getting a chance to engage in all the nebulous floating fun going on all around them, and certainly there are people who feel completely disconnected from the fun if they do not have some structure to their day.

My favorite thing of GenCon (Besides food trucks. And goons. Whatever, shut up, just listen.) is Indie Games On Demand. You can find out more about 'em here but the short explanation is that they're in the Hyatt, they run about every two hours or so, and you just need generics. Show up, get a boarding pass, wait a little while and then pick your game!

Is it too early to freak out about the housing lottery?

The housing lottery will be fine!

Ask him if he also wants all this ice cream (reveal 3 gallon bucket) and all this pizza (reveal 30" pizza) for breakfast.

I bought my badge because I somehow haven't yet learned that the housing lottery loving hates me.

I would mostly be irate about having had a primo time slot for booking a room turn out to be a bust

I would say that I take some schadenfreude in this since I get perennially screwed in the housing lottery but, uh, a pandemic is kind of a lot to counter balance whatever small joy I may take.

I mean, that's cool and all but social distancing at Gencon is only possible if 80% of the attendees and 50% of the vendors don't show up.

Indiana sucks but there's no reason to be the Florida or Georgia of the Midwest. That's supposed to be Kansas.

Wisconsin is playing that role now.

So new rule then, everyone has to cosplay but your costume must incorporate latex/nitrile gloves and a properly fitted/worn N95 rated mask.

EDIT: When reports of COVID started up I did have to wonder what the Pandemic booth would look like and if it'd be considered poor taste.

Yeah, it's the right call. I hope the business entity that is Gencon doesn't lose their shirts because of it. I'll roll my badge over for 2021 and I bought a 2020 shirt to show my support and also grieve a little.

The Gencon 2020 eye chart shirts are super soft.

It's weird how little I want to deal with an online Gen Con. Like, I have no excitement for any of this and I don't know why I'm not excited.

Personally, I can't get excited at the prospect of gaming at my home computer because I do that every day already.
