2016 Con Schedule

Generally, the earlier you buy a plane ticket, the cheaper the price is. That's been my experience, at least.

That's what I always expected too, but a lot of Googling put 6-8 weeks at the sweet spot.

Don't fly that much but is there a way to have a script run for a check in case it drops with a price you like or by a percentage. Like if it's under 300 notify me or if it drops 30%+? I've been driving in the last five times since it's under eight hours.

I would drive but it's 11 hours for me :/ I can look into writing a script, but I guess for now, I'll ahve to bite the bullet and pay the cost.

Pretty sure Kayak.com can do this for you - set it up to send you a notification if prices drop on a particular itinerary. It also estimates if the price is likely to drop (not sure on what basis)

Yah, i have a price alert set up with them. They're recommending buying now. I'm just saying I should have bought a month ago :/

Looks like the plan is for me to head to GenCon to do demoing with the Fantasy Flight crew. I sounds like I may get to do run games of Star Wars. Hope to see you there, Keleth.

The nice thing about the demo team is free room and entry, the downside is the lack of voice I'll have after 4 days of shouting on a Con floor.

Yes! I would love to see you there. And I'll have you demo something for me!

Closer to the Con, I'll confirm for a meet-and-greet Friday night, if nothing else, hanging out at a hotel bar or something, where people can come and meet up and learn that yes, we are not all robots responding to each other, hoping to fool the others that we're human. Or we'll learn that some of us are exactly that.

I'll have to be there and make sure to fail all my CHA checks. My character was built to stealth in the background, not interact socially.

#809, #817, # 1105, or #1117

No clue yet. The person I know sorting out who can do what just asked if I know much about it and would want to run it.

I'll try and swing by during early access before the hordes descend upon you...

I'll teach you all about it, and then you can correct me on everything I said wrong. :)

Wait, what is early access? I have a media badge... will this give me early access?

Wait...you are media?

Nope. VIG.

Yes. I applied for a media badge and got it. No clue why they said yes. I guess I'll have to write stuff up on what I see/do now...
Ah, ok. I am a VFM (very fake media).

@ Keleth technically didn't you just blog about 7th Sea in a way?

I actually do want to get into the habit of writing about games I play at Cons, old or new. I did a TON of tweeting at Origins last year, helped promote a few new games, etc. I just don't want someone at GenCon to go "So, can I see your blog?" and I go "Hey, look over there! SMOKE BOMB!"

You can always say something like that.
