Dave is currently in the Hospital having his heart rewired to become a Cyberman, so he can fight Dr. Who. Hopefully sign ups will be heading out next month, normall for Winter Fantasy it's 2-3 to a room, and there pretty posh rooms.
I whole heartedily recommend WF for those who have never been.

We will have lots of cool PFS at the show.
We will have some cool PFS guests at the show.
We will just in general have a damn good time at the show.
Judge sign-ups and event schedules should be going up in the next week as I catch-up on things. Being in the hospital 4 days put a big crimp in being productive.

Upon learning that Mike Brock will be there along with other Paizo Staff AND that we will celebrate his birthday in some manner. I am going to this somehow for sure. At least for a day, longer if I can swing it.

You know PFCBG...if I had a ride. I have a higher chance of getting more than a day down there.... It's only another 1.5 hour drive to swing by Kzoo... :P
hrm ... I've been told I'm more than likely flying in Monday morning if the arrangements work ... otherwise I totally would .. cause you'd keep me awake
Dan Luckett |
Yes, from what I understand...there is no D&D to experience. :P So, a more "classic" style of D&D will be present AKA PFS.
Food for thought: The last few years, head coordinator not being very sick LFR had a pretty strong holding at U-Con...this year, they didn't even bother to email back the con staff to say they weren't going to be there.

Is this event kind of a "replacement" for the D&D Experience event that used to be on or near this weekend? In any case it's in Ft Wayne AND will have PFS play? I'm in!
Its not a replacement. Winter Fantasy became DDXP and now its back to Winter Fantasy because wotc moved their ddxp promotion to gencon.

PFS Indiana plans on helping as much as we are needed, but at this point, David Christ is taking the lead on organizing.
I've spent the weekend in the hospital and then had one day to recover before starting my new job so please bear with me as I continue to play never ending catch-up.
I think we've had a few miscues along the way and I think I've sorted most of them out with Mike at this point.
I'm taking lead on organizing in the sense of it's my show. It's my bank account that empties out when things fail and my name that gets dragged through the mud if things go wrong.
Now having said that I like good eggs. I reward good eggs. Judges for the show have to process through my existing system because that is just how I track, schedule, and report things. I'll take all the help and suggestions from those in the PFS trenches on who I should use and not use (I know half you guys already). I take the lead because that is just how I work and it lets me protect those doing work for me from taking the hits. It's my job to take the good and take the crap when needed.
So if the PFS Indiana types want to chime in offlist to me and help work out a schedule or offer suggestions then I'm all ears. I'd love to hit 250+ tables of PFS at this show (and I honestly think we can hit that). My goal is to make this the biggest PFS presence in the world that doesn't sit in the summer (PaizoCon/Gencon). I know we have the judges and players to make that happen.

For those thinking about WF let me put it how I do for others.
Take all the RPG gaming of a Gencon.
Put all your friends there.
Take away all the Gencon crazy.
Cut your costs in half for hotels and probably by a 1/3rd for food and drink.
Add in all the industry people you'd love to talk to but they are now calm and having fun and are accessable instead of crazy (aka Gencon).
Now surround the place with a ton of snow and cold so you have no excuse not to just stay inside and game, drink, and have a blast for four days.
I spent one afternoon last show playing Talisman (original of course) with Stephen and Bulmahn (and a crazy Matt James). That night I had beers with Rob Schwalb while we twisted his arm to not game again that night and stay with us.
That's Winter Fantasy.

<insert here - I have nothing against Gencon in any fashion and will go every year till I die (or my wife tells me to get back in the basement) - it's just not the best time to chat with people at times>

I'll second what Dave said. I've been to lots of WFs but missed the last 3 (when it wasn't even called that) cos there were no games to interest me and I can drink with Dave at other shows. Just not Gen Con most of the time.
When I told my kids Dave was taking this show back from WotC, and there would be PFS, there was unanimous "yay" and similar words.My vacation time is approved. Two of my three kids are coming too. Both are willing to GM, though one of them will be only 14 and Dave's rules say she's not allowed to. So she'll hopefully get to help out in other ways (Dave, please email me back about that).
For those of you who don't understand the significance of a dad bringing two kids to a con - we're travelling to Fort Wayne from Australia. That's how cool we think this con is.
My oldest would be coming too, but she has uni stuff to finish so she can graduate. So, 2014 for her.
Hoping to see lots of you there

If they do a kid's track it'd be pretty awesome if David could have your daughter run that. My son got to play one session on Sunday at Gencon and it was the highlight of the con I think. I think an early-teen would probably have fun teaching a handful of kids how to kill monsters and take their stuff.

Don't you ever try and subvert the corporate plutocracy?Dan, you are evil. In a good way, but evil.
I'm just trying to treat Thea's ache for gaming and friendship that only a good con can cure. I want to ensure she uses the proper time code for her missing work. :P

As fun as this con appears, I'm sad to say that I do not expect to attend due to family commitment.
