[Fromper]

I'll have to consider making the trip up there for this. From where I live in Chicago's northern suburbs, it should only be a little more than an hour drive.

I'll have to see if my family has any ideas for Memorial Day weekend plans, but if not, I'll probably sign up to GM Godsmouth Heresy for you.

[Brian J. Fruzen]

Thanks Fromper! It'll be great to see you there.

Just a reminder to everyone thinking of attending: player registration begins April 24th!

This is going to be the biggest Nexus Game Fair yet. If you can't make it to Paizo Con, we'll have plenty to do at Nexus in the Midwest! We still have some PFS slots needing GMs too, enough to earn free admission to the convention to those who run three or more!

[Fromper]

I still haven't decided how many days I'll be there, and whether I want to stay at the hotel or drive back and forth each day. I'm definitely looking to be there Saturday to GM and Sunday to play a couple of scenarios, and maybe Monday. It looks like about a 70 minute drive from home, per Google Maps.

When registration opens on Sunday, is that just con registration, or does it also include individual events?

[Brian J. Fruzen]

You can purchase your badge now. Sunday is when players can start signing up and checking out the events they'd like to play in. We just closed event submission. You can see all of the approved events in our online event catalog. There isn't much that hasn't been approved as of now, but we had a few last-minute submissions I'll be going through tonight, at which point they'll be visible to the public.

[Fromper]

Ok, signed up to play Siege of the Diamond City and Traitor's Lodge on Sunday, along with GMing Godsmouth Heresy on Saturday. Is there any way on the web site to see how many people are signed up for what games?

I'll bring a variety of PCs I can play in these. I just need to look and see which one got the GM credit for Diamond City when I ran it at GenCon when it was new, because I honestly don't remember.

[Captain Tally-Ho!]

I would be all over this if it were almost any other weekend of the year.

At this time, the number of players aren't shown publicly, though it will list how many seats remain once the event is more than half full.

[Fromper]

I don't know Milwaukee at all. I'll be driving up from just north of Chicago using a GPS. Anything I should know? And how's the parking situation?

[Aaron C. Malone]

Hi Fromper! The parking garage that I recommend is just south of the Hyatt Regency. It's at the corner of Old World 3rd Street and Wells Street. It's only $13/day and the garage is connected to the Hyatt via skywalk. There are several food options within walking distance as well, anywhere from fast food to sit-down restaurants.
