Hi everyone in Paizoland, I'm an old gamer, who has decided to make his first journey to the Meca of Gaming.......GenCon. However, I've never been to Indianapolis or GenCon, and I live in Los Angeles, CA. Therefore, I really have no idea of what I'm getting myself into (Besides a real-life adventure!).
I thought the Paizo community might have some good information and tips for a first timer to GenCon (ie I rolled 30 on my Gather Information skil, LOL). Any help concerning best hotel to stay in, nearby restaurants, must play games, beware of ?, and of course, feel free to share any special stories from GenCon past you have attended.
Originally, I was making this quest to meet Paizo's staff and of course the Grand Dungeon Master, Gary Gygax. However, with his sudden passing, I feel even more encouraged to go, although saddened I will never meet him in person. So any information or stories are very appreciated. Thanks!
