Dead Tree Books at GenCon

[Swiftbrook]

I'm just curious, if you're GMing at GenCon, what books (the paper kind) will you be bringing to the table?

My plan is to have a paper copy of the scenario (required), but I'm really debating what other books to haul around. The CRB itself is pretty heavy and I have it on my Ipad Mini. Also, it great that Paizo has been placing the bestiary entries in the scenarios. That saves a lot of time and eliminates the need to bring along those books.

Switftbrook, I'll be doing pretty much what you are.

All of my needed books will be digital -- I will also have (as needed) printouts of the critters encountered, and the like.

Traveling with as little weight as possible, which is hard, given that I am running six different scenarios!

Scenario + Nothing.

If I ran Serpent's Rise on Sunday I'd be in your boat, Jack. Thankfully, I saved vs. sacrificing my one slot off. *grin*

I've got stat blocks for half of my scenarios printed out, with the other half soon to come. I'm running four slots of Returned to Sky and the four specials. The only hard copies of materials that I plan on having on me are stat blocks and printed scenarios and maps. I'm feeling pretty fortunate right now that Returned to Sky only has two flipmaps that will save a lot of space in my bag.

As far as other stuff goes, the only minis I will be bringing are Iconics for people using Pregens and pawns and minis for Returned to Sky and maybe a few noteworthy minis for the special. I own two tablets, one of which I'll be using for digital reference materials and the other I'm planning on using to display pictures of who/what people are fighting/interacting with.

I'll have the scenario, print out of stat blocks and my CRB. I'll probably bring my tablet in case I forgot to print something, but it's not sure thing at this point.

[Silbeg]

Hey, Mitch, are you running Returned to Sky on Friday 8AM? If so, I may search you out for my table of Drongos (the majority of my PbP group). We're looking to play in that slot, at 7-8.

I'm planning on the printed scenarios, printed maps/flip-maps, and my CRB. Going to be more than enough to lug around for the 4 scenarios I have to run. I do NOT envy those of you running 6! Geez!

[BartonOliver]

Right now, probably 0 books. As of this moment, I'm only GMing and not playing any scenarios so I won't need to haul my books around. If it comes down to it I'll likely have my computer with me but I'm debating even that.

[Totenpfuhl]

I'm going to be carrying any relevant material on my phone. Otherwise I'll be hauling around too much stuff and I'm not as close to the convention center as I have been the last few years.

I'm running every slot except the first two on Sat (three specials, We Be Goblins Free 2x and 7-03 3x) so unfortunately have a ton of minis and maps which I need to bring.

Hopefully my order of flip mats shows up in time - if not I'll improvise and will try to have most maps printed out as backups. (a lot of the scenarios I'm running have either custom maps or use maps which are out of print)

Probably not going to have any extra mini's for people who don't have a PC mini (I don't have that many mini's to start - so will mostly be brining unpainted Bones minis, some of my few prepainted minis and likely some useful pawns/markers to use adhoc. I'll bring my screen, dice and time tracker + markers (reminds me need to check that my markers aren't dry...)

At the moment I'm probably not going to be bring any books - if I do bring anything it will be one of the newer books to read if I have any downtime (and possibly to help me with my PC's that need to be leveled or retrained for unchained versions). I'll have my books on my iPad, on my laptop and probably on my kindle and my phone - so hopefully will have things at the ready if I need anything.

(Getting worried about how I will manage all of the scenarios, stat blocks, spell/item prep sheets, mini's, maps, chronicle sheets etc. May try to find enough folders to have a folder for each scenario (and duplicates of chronicle sheets etc for scenarios I'm running multiple times)
