A Name Apart

Is your son "Enter the Dungeon" on YouTube?

PDM: Great tips gentlemen, for me GenCon is just stupid big, I have not been in 20+ years, I could not imagine going today, too crowded. My tips for cons: 1: The number one tip, good shoes and insoles, totally agree! 2: Plan ahead and Pre-register as early as possible, especially for GenCon. 3: Also, GenCon exhibitor prices are MSRP, you can actually get better deals if check out the products there and then order online, maybe a bit cheeky, but my wallet disagrees. 4: Which brings me to my fourth tip, if you are flying in, you can only carry so much back, so pack light, or bring an extra suitcase for your loot. 5. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, translated, Don't be a dick and be on good behavior, be polite, be patient, be kind, finally have fun. PDM, I would recommend an anti-inflammatory NSAID like; Ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen (Aleve) over aspirin, these are better for hurting muscles. Finally, Michael you are so lucky to have such a flexible father, my mother tossed me out on my butt at 18, she said you are either in school or get out. Well I was not ready to go to Uni, so out I went; it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I did eventually go to Uni, so enjoy this time with your family. Best wishes and God speed, MrGunn PS PDM the crack about the homeless guy in your house was so 'Dad' worthy, made me LOL.

No worries PDM, I’m good to play wingspan wherever. I’ll be getting there early on Thursday and be staying the 4 days.

One year I'll make it to GenCon... it's not that far from me and I dig Indy... just a terrible time of year for my family/work. Gary Con is my must this year unless I just can't manage it. We need a word for when you're happy for someone but also deeply jealous hahah

It’s so much harder for kids to move out and afford stuff nowadays. I was able to work a part time/near full time job at the Mall, afford my share of rent and utilities, have gas in the tank, weed and fun money back in the early 90’s in SoCal. I have a young adult daughter who’s in college down there and damn, things are expensive. It’s hardly worth her having a part time job, it sure won’t help pay for college, only pocket money for her. Gold Bond makes a Friction Defense stick that works great for any gender! Is Michael playing Werewolf: The Apocalypse live action or something like One Night Ultimate werewolf?

Gamer funk and gamer crud are things. Take showers and keep deodorant in your backpack, and load up on Vitamin C and D or some immune booster. Mints are also good. If you have never been Gen Con and may only get to go once. What are the musts?

Con or airport advise, bring a small power strip. No one cares to share a plug with you if they can charge at the same time.

When you get old and fat and your skin starts getting wimpy... that d*mn chaffing can be a real problem. If I were going to be trapped on a dessert island, it would be tough deciding if I bring a knife or bring baby powder.
