Sacramento, Ca

Anyone going to Gen Con who lives in California? I have gas money and snacks to offer if you are driving.

Thanks you guys for all of the awesome tips! Not diabetic, hypoglycemic.

I have tennis shoes. :D But all of this is great info. :D Also, is there anyone driving in from California?

This is my first year, I am all in and Tier 1. So in it, to win it! But, don't worry. I will bring filler games we can play on slow times. :D

Because the HQ staff do not have the time off between slots to leave the room (that is our busiest time) we rotate breaks throughout the day to allow some time to relax, use the restroom, and get food/drink. Don't let the long day intimidate you. We won't let you go hungry :-)

I was worried, because I get dizzy if I don't eat or drink something other than water every two hours. Sugar based items won't help. Need something with protein. Btw, is there a grocery store near by?

Definite water as a con must. Also snacks, and some good shoes for standing since you'll be on your feet for a fair amount of time. Working at PaizoCon HQ last year has taught me that if you get bothered by the cold, bring a light jacket for the beginning of the first slot and the end of the second slot as when people leave the room cools down quite a bit. (Seeing one's breath indoors is quite fun.) From my schedule, it looks like I'll be pulling an 18 hour shift on Friday, so it'll be an interesting time working with you.

Halls or Ricola lozenges are also going to be your best friend with the amount of talking that may be happening.

Thanks Michael.

I will make sure to pack the R-C-OLA! But I will have a hoodie. I changed my flight to a Bus. Taking Greyhound in. Unless I can get a ride from California to Gen Con. But I am excited!

Thanks you guys for all the helpful tips! I am actually not GMing! I am HQ. :D Also, that is nice to know about the food. I was wondering how I was going to get food as I was slotted to work 18 hrs straight every day. But Saturday, I am hitting the vendors hall. So exciting!

Going as a Tier 1. This I have worked 8 cons a year for 20 years, so while I am familiar with Conventions, I have never been to one as big as Gen Con for gaming. My biggest was a Comic Con. 30,000 people just about.

Any suggestions?

Also, this is my first time working for PFS. Um can anyone tell me a bit about Tier 1 positions? I am super excited for the convention!
