Total Drama Camp Island au

Fuck it. Au where Camp Wawanakwa is a Theatre camp. Chris is the director, Chef is the technical director. Mixing Gen 1 and Gen 2, the cast and crew splits up like this:

(PS, if two people have the same role, it’s just double cast.)

CAST

Alejandro - Joined because he enjoyed theatre as a class. He easily gets roles, though his charm is sometimes seen as an unfair advantage to others so he doesn’t audition much.

NOTABLE ROLES

the Phantom

the SQUIP

Emmett Forrest

Rocky

Kenickie Murdoch

Sierra - Joined because OBVIOUSLY she wants a place to nerd out! She gets good roles because she’s one of the only people who put all her emotions and being into her lines AND songs.

NOTABLE ROLES

Sandy Cheeks

Jenna Rolland

Columbia

Ronette

Delia Deetz

Duncan - I can’t decide whether he joined as a joke, or if his parents forced him to hang out with other teens. Maybe both. But surprisingly, he’s a good actor—AND can, surprisingly, do an incredible Mr. Krabs impression. He also constantly fights with crew to not wear a wig, keeping his mohawk onstage.

NOTABLE ROLES

Mr. Krabs

Jake Dillinger

Eddie

Orin Scrivello

Beetlejuice???

Tyler - Joined because he thought it would be like High School Musical. His roles are never big, but he has fun with them and always treats them like they’re the lead.

NOTABLE ROLES

Patchy the Pirate

one of the businessmen that purchases an Audrey II

Harold - He WOULD be a threatre kid if he could. He auditions with rapping EVERY TIME. And it works for him.

NOTABLE ROLES

Sheldon J. Plankton

Kevin G

Riff Raff

Geoff - Joined as a dare, and ended up loving it. He’s super chill about cast lists, and whatever he ends up with, he makes sure it’s including Bridgette.

NOTABLE ROLES

Patrick Star/Larry the Lobster/Gary the Snail

Damien Hubbard

Heather - She likes being in the spotlight. She expects roles, and she gets roles. .. not always. She’s typecast as the mean girl.

NOTABLE ROLES

Chloe Valentine

Regina George

Magenta

Vivian Kensington

Betty Rizzo

Lindsay - Loves movies and musicals and wants to be like that!! But she usually forgets her lines… and when she does, they’re all from Mean Girls. Even if she’s doing Rocky Horror, she’ll say her Karen Smith lines. Oh well.

NOTABLE ROLES

Karen Smith

Paulette Bonafonté

Frenchy Facciano

Leshawna - She has a big voice, so she’ll join to get big roles. Although, she’s never really cast in dance heavy roles…

NOTABLE ROLES

Pearl Krabs

Janice Ian

Audrey II/Chiffon

Elle Woods

Owen - He thought theatre camp could be fun! He has a surprisingly nice voice, and is just really good at embodying characters.

NOTABLE ROLES

SpongeBob SquarePants/Patrick Star

Michael Mell

Noah - “Joined as a joke”. He secretly really wanted to. He has the gay theatre kid energy here… his voice is also quite pleasant.

NOTABLE ROLES

Squidward Tentacles

Adam Maitland

Brad Majors

Warner Huntington III

Trent - Joined for fun since he had a free summer. He always brings his guitar, and sometimes plays it for script read throughs.

NOTABLE ROLES

an Electric Skate

Aaron Samuels

Cody - Family got him to join. They hoped he could get really cute roles, and he acts like he doesn’t care. He does.

NOTABLE ROLES

SpongeBob SquarePants/Old Man Jenkins

Seymour Krelborn

Bridgette - A friend suggested she signed up, so she did—tries to get a couples role with Geoff ever since they got together.

NOTABLE ROLES

Mayor of Bikini Bottom

Brooke Lohst

Janice Ian

Brooke Wyndham

Courtney - She’s done every subject and activity, of COURSE she’ll try theatre! She’s destined to be a star! She takes everything extremely seriously. And if she doesn’t get the role she wants… it’s scary.

NOTABLE ROLES

Christine Daae

Jenna Rolland

Gretchen Weiners

Vivian Kensington

Barbara Maitland

Crystal

Katie and Sadie - They picked a summer camp they wanted to do together, chose this, and auditioned for EVERYTHING together. They don’t really do roles that aren’t a duo.

NOTABLE ROLES

the Delta Nu girls

Justin - Decided to join because he assumed he’d get roles IMMEDIATELY for how he looked. He did not.

NOTABLE ROLES

an Electric Skate

Kyle the delivery man

Cameron - His mom suggested he joined a theatre camp because it felt “safe”—plus, he can actually sing and dance pretty well, since he grew up with his mom’s disco music.

NOTABLE ROLES

Seymour Krelborn

Anne Maria - She REALLY wants a shot at being a lead in a musical, but is painfully… tone deaf. But she’s pretty good at dancing, actually!

NOTABLE ROLES

Cha-Cha DiGregorio

Mike - His psychiatrist suggested he take a theatre camp, since his excuse for his switches is that he just “likes to act”. In reality, Mike… doesn’t really like acting. He’ll take one role, but all his others are usually done by… not. Him.

NOTABLE ROLES

Jeremy Heere

Beetlejuice (Mal)

Danny Zuko (Vito)

Zoey - She actually loves musicals! Big theatre kid! She can make her own costumes and knows way too much about the shows she’s in, but barely says anything about it because she’s nervous about appearing as weird.

NOTABLE ROLES

Karen

Christine Canigula

Cady Heron

Chutney Wyndham

Janet Weiss

Lydia Deetz

Sandy Olsson

Lightning - Joined by accident. He doesn’t know where he is. He likes the attention, though.

NOTABLE ROLES

an Electric Skate

Brick - He was too nervous to join theatre at school, so he tried a summer camp no one had ever heard of… and it was perfect!

NOTABLE ROLES

Perch Perkins

Dr. Scott

Scott - Joined as a joke. Auditions as a joke. Usually tries to get someone to mess up a line or say the M word onstage…

NOTABLE ROLES

Rich Goranski

Dakota - OOOFF COOUURRSEEE she has to be center stage! Of COURSE! It’s not Broadway, but this’ll do!

NOTABLE ROLES

Brooke Wyndham

Miss Argentina

Dawn - (is usually crew)

NOTABLE ROLES

Audrey

CREW

DJ - paints sets!

Eva - helps with exercises and choreography!

Gwen - head of makeup!

Izzy - she does the practical effects/special effects/visuals!

Courtney - she has FOUGHT with Chris and Chef to be allowed to act and do crew at the same time. she does lights. do NOT let her be stage manager.

Ezekiel - also pants sets!

Beth - assists in costuming!

Cameron - prop master!

Mike - when he can avoid acting, he helps Cam!

Dawn - she’s an assistant stage manager, and always knows who’s playing what before the cast list gets written somehow…

B - to save money on hiring various companies for flying or using other big machinery, he handles that himself.

Sam - sound master!

Brick - when he’s not acting, he works on being head of costumes!

Jo - stage manager!

PPS. I know most of these are adult shows, but do you think Chris gives a shit

When I was young, I took their free personality assessment test. (They said I was "dangerously suppressed and inhibited" and might have a hormone imbalance.)

(And that I needed to buy several books from them and take their paid training course to get better. I was young & broke, so I did not buy anything from them.)

Now, I get a letter from them about every 6 months to a year - usually just a flyer, sometimes an actual letter saying "Hey Elf - you took our personality course way back when. You may be at a stage in your life where you're trying to figure it all out. We have answers! Contact us today! Here's our URL! We'd love to hear from you!!!!"

I have changed addresses at least five times since I last was in contact with them. They keep info in their database FOREVER.

And they prey on people. They're reaching out to random people because their records know I'm middle aged now (they probably don't know my exact age when I talked to them, but they know it's been more than a couple of decades). They know that a whole lot of middle-aged Gen X and younger Boomers are struggling with midlife "hey I was supposed to own a house in a friendly neighborhood and two cars (one fancy, one practical) and an annual vacation in the Bahamas, and I was supposed to have a large family that visits on the holidays, and... I do not have that. 70s sitcoms lied to me. What went wrong?"

They sound friendly. Their marketing materials are very slick, and very focused. They try to dodge around their gimmicks of the past (I have no idea if any of them actually believed in Xenu or that was just a useful technique to draw in people in the "cosmic consciousness" 70s) to get you to (1) PAY THEM for books & classes and (2) join their proselytization crusade.

One of their constant messages is "psychology is not a science; it's pure guesswork all based on lies; we have the TRUE method of finding out who you are and what you need in life." Their "TRUE method" has had variations over the decades, but it boils down to "become a smiling, selfish asshole and you will find fulfillment."

And they get vicious at ex-members, and vicious at anyone who informs the public about them. (Well. If they think it matters. They are not active on Tumblr, as far as I know.) (Tumblr would be the perfect counter to their propaganda; they hate settings where they can't control the narrative.)

Note the posters above. Note that "Hubbard Dianetics Foundation" is in very very tiny print. Note the lack of the word "Scientology."

They know what their reputation is. They're counting on desperate people not noticing the small print.

I keep having to tear down extremely predatory/misleading Scien.tology flyers in my school's art building. This is the third fucking time I've ripped the fuckers up and I'm getting Real Fucking Tired of it.

Sa Parole Pour Aujourd'hui du Samedi le 06 Avril 2024

Restez concentré ! (4)

“Oubliant le passé...” Ph 3. 13

1- Les gens qui poursuivent un but précis ne vivent pas dans le passé.

Beaucoup trop regrettent leur passé et en demeurent prisonniers. Elbert Hubbard a écrit : “Une solide mémoire est un avantage indéniable, mais la capacité à oublier est un signe de force. Les gens qui réussissent sont ceux qui savent oublier. Ils sont engagés dans une course qui ne leur permet pas de regarder en arrière. Leurs yeux demeurent fixés sur la ligne d’arrivée. Ils ont des choses trop importantes à accomplir pour se laisser distraire par des peccadilles. Si quelqu’un leur fait du mal, ils examinent la raison derrière l’attaque, mais restent imperturbables. Seules les âmes faibles cherchent à se venger. Apprenez à oublier, la réussite est à ce prix !”

2- Telles gens ne pensent pas aux difficultés, mais aux récompenses qui les attendent à la fin de leur course.

Si vous ressassez les difficultés possibles, vous vous apitoierez de plus en plus sur vous-même au lieu de vous discipliner pour les affronter. Et vous obtiendrez de moins en moins de résultats. Au contraire, vous vous encouragerez vous-même en gardant les yeux fixés sur les résultats à atteindre. Prenez Christ comme exemple. “Il était prêt à souffrir la mort humiliante de la croix à cause de la joie qu’Il savait Lui être réservée plus tard” (He 12. 2 TP).

3- Telles gens choisissent leurs amis avec soin.

Dans la vie vous rencontrerez cinq types de personnes :

1- Celles qui encouragent, affermissent votre foi et enflamment votre énergie.

2- Celles qui affinent, clarifient votre vision, au contact desquelles vous vous sentirez davantage aguerris.

3- Celles qui ne savent que refléter le caractère des autres. Comme des miroirs, elles imitent votre caractère, votre engagement, sans rien vous apporter.

4- Celles qui tenteront de minimiser vos objectifs et vos réussites pour vous ramener à leur niveau.

5- Celles qui vous rejetteront parce qu’elles ne comprennent pas ce que Dieu vous a appelé à faire.

Demeurez donc ferme dans vos desseins, sans laisser les louanges vous monter à la tête, ni les critiques vous abattre.

DIZZY GILLESPIE TRIBUTE - 1 of 3

FRI-SEP-15 :: Brownman Ali - trumpet & percussion :: Nick Maclean - piano :: Chris Parnis - upright bass :: Petros Anagnostakos - drums

From his time with Charlie Parker as one of the leaders in bebop, to his solo explorations, through to his later years delving into World music, Dizzy Gillespie has always been a force of nature as a jazz trumpet player. But his place in history was assured through a combination of musicianship, showmanship and wit -- traits shared by Trinidadian-born elite trumpet player Brownman Ali, who will spend a night examining compositions both written by and made famous by the great Dizzy Gillespie. You'll be sure to hear "Manteca", "A Night In Tunisia", "Hot House", "Groovin' High" and many more Dizzy classics. BUY TICKETS

FREDDIE HUBBARD TRIBUTE - 2 of 3

FRI-SEP-22 :: Brownman Ali - trumpet & effects :: Nick Maclean - piano & synth :: Bennett Young - acoustic & electric basses :: Petros Anagnostakos - drums

Freddie Hubbard's iconicly powerful approach and energized style have profoundly shaped the evolution of many, including 2x National Jazz Award winner Brownman Ali, who will take on the sobering task of paying musical tribute to one of the greatest jazz trumpet players in the history of the jazz artform. Ali and an all-star hand-picked ensemble will bound through 2 sets Freddie Hubbard's inspired compositions - the 1st set from Freddie's acoustic period ("Ready for Freddie", "Open Sesame", etc) and the 2nd set showcasing his later electric period on the CTI label ("Red Clay", "Skydive", etc). BUY TICKETS

MILES DAVIS TRIBUTE - 3 of 3

FRI-SEP-29 :: Brownman Ali - trumpet & effects :: Nick Maclean - piano & synth :: Ben Duff - acoustic & electric basses :: Jackson Haynes - drums

In one spectacular evening, spanning 2 unique sets, multi-award winning jazz trumpet iconoclast Brownman Ali -- heralded by the Hamilton Spec as "one of the greatest interpreters of Miles Davis' work in Canada" -- will lead an all-star quintet through the many different musical eras of Miles Davis' always evolving career; from bebop to cool, Coltrane to Shorter, electric-jazz to hip-hop. This show is a single night version of Brownman's heavily lauded month-long FIVE WEEKS FOR MILES series, compressed down into a single night expansive deep-dive into Miles' music. BUY TICKETS

Je ne suis pas d’accord. Les blessures demeurent intactes.

Faites ce que vous pensez ne pas pouvoir faire. » (=Eleanor Roosevelt.=)

« Rien n’est plus facile que de dénoncer un être abject. Rien n’est plus difficile que de le comprendre. » (=Fiodor Dostoïevski.=) / « Les contes de fées ne révèlent pas aux enfants que les dragons existent, les enfants le savent déjà. Les contes de fées révèlent aux enfants qu’on peut tuer ces dragons. » (=G.K. Chesterton.=)

« Qu’est-ce d’autre que la vie des mortels qu’une vaste comédies, dans laquelle divers acteurs, travestis de divers costumes et masques, déambulent jouant chacun leur rôle, jusqu’à ce que le grand Ordonnateur les chasse de la scène. » (=Érasme.=)

Il est sale et à longueur de temps, il nie de toutes ses forces être un héros. » (=Frank Miller.=)

« Au fond de chacun de nous, il y a l’enfant qu’on était. L’enfant constitue le fondement de ce que nous devenons, de qui nous sommes, et de ce que nous serons. » (=Rhawn Joseph.=) / « Il n’y a pas de formule magique pour réussir, sauf peut-être une acceptation inconditionnelle de la vie et de ce qu’elle apporte. » (=Arthur Rubinstein.=)

Western Reserve Village

Canfield Fairgrounds

7265 Columbiana-Canfield Rd.

Canfield, OH 44406

The historic Western Reserve Village is located at the Canfield Fairgrounds in Canfield, OH, and is a reconstruction of pioneer life at a typical Connecticut Western Reserve community in Mahoning County, Ohio. Buildings here were relocated from their former sites for preservation, and period-authentic gardens are planted around the buildings. The village celebrated 50 years in 2015. The site includes 10 historical buildings, a number of really neat artifacts, a historical steam engine with rail car and caboose, and a church constructed especially for the village. It is open only during the Canfield Fair which concludes each year on Labor Day. The village got started, when a small brick building called the Whittlesey Law and Records Office (built about 1840) was relocated from another site in Canfield. Whittlesey, who died in 1863, was an attorney and secretary to Gen. William Henry Harrison.

A few months later, a log cabin dating from 1829 was relocated from Butler Township, and it was followed by Canfield's Erie Railroad depot, built about 1865, initially for the Niles and New Lisbon Railroad, later acquired by the Erie, which the agricultural society obtained for $1 and moved from Newton and Railroad streets in Canfield. A few feet from it is a really neat crossing guard's tower from about 1880. In the early days of the village, the society also obtained some items from the Mahoning County Old Folks Home, which was being demolished. Included were bricks, stones and woodwork. The village's nearby carriage museum was built in 1976 and reportedly houses about 20 antique horse-drawn carriages from the 19th century.

The 1916 Baldwin Locomotive Co. 0-6-0 steam switch engine with its tender and caboose was used at the Campbell and Hubbard works of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Co. from 1916 until 1962. When it was retired, it was donated to Penn-Ohio Railfans, which then gave it to Western Reserve Village in 1985 for static display. The wooden caboose was built in 1929 by the Standard Steel Car Co. in Butler, PA, and was used until 1956 by the Montour Railroad, an industrial line near Pittsburgh. It then was used by the Youngstown and Southeastern Railroad until being acquired by a Boy Scout council in Mahoning County.

Other structures in the village include the one-room Knaufville School (1900), Beaver Township Library (1910), blacksmith shop (mid-1800s), Dr. Patton's office (1913), country store (late 1800s), Mahoning County Veterans Memorial building, gazebo, stone watering trough, and a church. The latter is not an old structure; it was built in 2001, but was designed to resemble a church from the 1800s. It is available to rent for weddings, and the village is a wonderful venue for such a ceremony. The church was constructed for about $220,000 in private donations. It can seat about 100 people in two dozen pews donated by an Episcopal church in Youngstown. There are stained-glass windows above the altar and rear entrance. In between the buildings are a number of themed gardens, which have been planted since 1983. There are the Biblical Garden, Medicinal Herbs Garden, Children's Garden, Settlers Garden, Shakespeare Garden, Native American Garden, Shade Garden and Knot Garden.

Gen Con 2018 Survival Guide

This guide is the 2018 version of a guide that I did in both 2016 and 2017. My goal has always been to put a lot of useful Gen Con information in one place for beginners. Gen Con can be a confusing convention because of the incredibly amount of variety available to attendees, and it really requires some preparation before attending. The worst thing you can do as a beginner is to just show up and expect everything to run smoothly. My best advice for newbies is to add some structure to your day (1 or 2 events), keep plenty of open time for exploring, and then try to utilize open gaming and special events during the evenings, depending on your interests.

I've also found that many folks who have been attending for years still mostly only focus on the exhibit hall, so there might be some new information here even for those people. Gen Con is MUCH more than just the exhibit hall, but it takes some planning to find all the open gaming and extra fun stuff.

Future Show Dates

-Gen Con 2019: Aug 1 - 4, 2019

-Gen Con 2020: July 30 - Aug 2, 2020

-Gen Con 2021: Aug 5 - 8, 2021

-Gen Con 2022: Aug. 4 - 7, 2022

General Tips -Registration and badge pickup starts on Wed at noon and is open 24 hours from that point on. There will be a line at noon on Wed, but it will quickly die down. The shortest wait time is in the early afternoon (or very late night) on Wed. It is far preferable to register Wed night rather than Thursday morning. -Try not to register on Thursday morning if you can avoid it, it gets very busy. Also give yourself time to get through the registration line. It’s best not to schedule any events at 9am, especially if you get there at say, 8:30am. -After you pick-up your badge, don't forget to pick up your coupon book (it’s a separate line). The coupon book is a great value, and includes a lot of freebies for the exhibit hall, local restaurants, and other assorted things. -Don't bother lining up to enter the exhibit hall before it opens on Thursday unless you're desperate to race for some new release game or promo that might sell out. Honestly, it’s hot, uncomfortable, and claustrophobic. Wait until 10:15 or so after the initial crush has died down. If you want to watch the opening ceremony it’s far nicer to watch from the 2nd floor balcony. -Make sure to pack some snacks and bring a water bottle. Water gets hard to come by, and the vending machines will often sell out.

-Outlets can be hard to find inside the convention center, so bring a portable battery pack if you think you’ll need it.

-Try not to carry around tons of bags of new games. We've found that this ruins our con experience. Only buy games when you know you're on your way back to your hotel. If you’re not staying downtown, try to find somebody that will let you store your purchases for the day. Or at the very least bring the back to your car instead of walking around the convention with heavy bags all day. Also, don't be that person dragging a rolling suitcase. They are annoying for everybody. -Use hand sanitizer regularly, colds tend to spread quickly at game conventions. Probably a good idea to pack some personal care items if you expect to be away from your hotel for most of the day.

-Programs are available in multiple kiosks near the registration line. We always grab one as a collector’s item, but for practical purposes, this mobile app is much easier to use to find events:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/unofficial-gen-con/id1135623179?mt=8

-Many downtown hotels are connected to the Indy convention center via a skywalk system, so it might be a good idea to learn how to move between the skywalks prior to the convention. Especially if its really hot or rainy outside, and you want to stay indoors:

https://www.visitindy.com/indianapolis-connected-hotels

Food and Drink -Most of the Gen Con food trucks are located on Georgia Street, just outside the main entrance to the convention center. Additionally, some are also located along S. Capitol ave. You can see a map here:

(The final map for 2018 will be posted a few weeks before the convention)

-Here are some recommended Indy food trucks:

https://foursquare.com/top-places/indianapolis/best-food-trucks

They are nice, but there is a long wait during peak times. Only use the food trucks at odd hours! You'll thank me later when you're not covered in sweat after waiting 40 minutes for a slice of pizza. -The convention center food is overpriced and generally very subpar. With so many good options nearby, I don’t recommend the convention center food for anything other than a quick cup of coffee. -Use the nearby restaurants. There are a lot of them within walking distance. Restaurants with theme menu's, decorations and freebies (sponsored by Gen Con exhibitors):

-On Wed night on Georgia Street, there is always a beer tapping/opening party. In addition, you can find various events going on during the week:

-Scotty's Brewhouse (better food than the RAM, sponsored by Paizo)

http://www.scottysbrewhouse.com/index.php?src=directory&view=Locations&srctype=detail&refno=72&category=locations

-The RAM (nearby, but very crowded, mediocre food and service, only use at non-peak times, sponsored by Privateer Press).

-The Tavern on South turns into the Munchkin Tavern sponsored by SJG.

Other good options: -Indiana City Market (a healthy walk, but the options are fantastic, it’s similar to the Columbus market for those of you who go to Origins, though smaller). There is also a farmers market on Wed if you arrive to Gen Con a day early.

Play Games -If you're a fan of Board Game media outlets like the Dice Tower, Secret Cabal or Shut Up and Sit Down you might get the impression that Gen Con is primarily a trade show, based solely on their news coverage and interviews. I’ve been listening to these channels for years, and I can confidently say they don’t understand the convention from an average attendee’s perspective. They only understand it from a media and promotion perspective. Most BG media outlets focus on the new release games at the convention, and hardly ever explore the gaming at the convention. They will often say "it’s hard to play games at Gen Con". Nothing is farther from the truth. The truth is that Gen Con is primarily about playing games, you just need to explore the event list and open gaming areas and venture out into those places. Media folks choose to do media related things at the convention, and they don’t actively seek out areas to play games. My goal here is to help you find out where and how to play games easily and successfully.

People at Gen Con are playing games at EVERY available room in the following locations:

-ICC first floor -ICC 2nd floor

-Lucas Oil Stadium

-Lucas Oil walkway -Union Station -Hyatt Regency -Crown Plaza -Embassy Suites -JW Marriot -Marriot downtown -Omni -Westin

In contrast, the exhibit area is less than ½ the total area of just the ICC first floor, and less than 1/10 of the total convention. The vast majority of the rest of the space (multiple ballrooms, every room in the ICC, and all convention space in Lucas Oil Stadium and ALL of the 8 connected hotels) is mostly gaming or related events. Gen Con is basically a gaming city. -It's not hard to play games at Gen Con, but unlike smaller “open play” conventions, you have to do a little planning in advance. You have 4 options: gaming in the exhibit hall, official open gaming, events, and unofficial open gaming. Events -Use the following website to find events: http://gencon.eventdb.us/

You can see new events as they are added to the event list here:

http://gencon.eventdb.us/changeList.php

-Or the following app:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/unofficial-gen-con/id1135623179?mt=8

Both are mobile friendly and will be available at the convention. -Try and schedule a couple of events each day, but absolutely don't overbook yourself. It's important to have some structure to your day, but you're also going to want time to explore all of the interesting stuff around you. For beginners I would suggest less than 4 hours of events each day. -Purchase some generic tickets so you can jump in on a game that is short on players. Generic tickets allow you to just jump into an event that still needs players, without booking in advance. Each ticket has a value of $2.00, so if the event is $6.00 you’ll need three tickets. The best place to do this is in the event ballrooms for Board, CCG and Mini events, and the Lucas Oil stadium. If you're into RPG's, they use the ballrooms on the 2nd floor (Paizo) or the connected hotels (Westin, Hyatt, J.W. Marriot etc.). -Unused tickets for scheduled events can be used as generic tickets at other events. Your event organizers should know this, but sometimes you need to explain it. If you miss an event, you can still get your money back this way. -Take note that the Board + Card game categories are at this point the majority of events at the convention. Even now, there are lots of spaces available to play interesting board games. -Don't schedule back-to-back events, especially if one is in the ICC and another is in a hotel. Give yourself some time to travel, and recognize that sometimes games run long. Tournaments are especially notorious for running over time. The Magic CCG events ran by Past Times typically run an hour or two longer then they should, mainly because they are very disorganized.

-Make sure to get to your event location 10 minutes or so before it starts. Especially since there may be people that are trying to get in with generic tickets. If you’re not on time, your spot might be given away to somebody with generics. Open Gaming -The official place for open board gaming is the library and pick-up play area (under the Isle of Misfit events). This year it will be located on the floor of the Lucas Oil Stadium. It's a pretty good deal if you're going to stay there for a large block of time. Most people use this area to find other folks that want to just open game. Like other conventions, there are flags indicating "players wanted". The library is large, but will lack new releases and many euro classics. It's a step below the CABS library at Origins, but has been growing considerably in quantity and quality.

-Starting in 2018, open gaming space is available at the J.W. Marriot:

Location: JW Mariott: Grand Ballrooms 5 and 6

Hours: Thursday 8 am to Sunday 4 pm

Library tickets can be purchased here:

You can track the new additions to the library on their Facebook page:

-Games on Demand events are for open RPG gaming (once again under Isle of Misfit events):

-LARPS on Demand:

http://gencon.eventdb.us/title.php?EventType=ZED&Title=Freeform+LARPs+on+Demand

There are TONS of open gaming opportunities sponsored by companies or by game groups. Many of them are free. Here are some highlights for this year: -The Rio Grande room is always free to play games. They will often provide free food as well (located on the 2nd floor of the ICC):

http://gencon.eventdb.us/title.php?EventType=ZED&Title=Rio+Grande+Free+Play

-The Nerd Nighters are sponsoring a free "nerd night" for charity event, which will be mostly open board gaming, but also raffles and auctions:

http://gencon.eventdb.us/event.php?GameCode=ZED18140541

-BGG is hosting a "hot games" room for the 3rd time at Gen Con. This will include open play of new release games for 2 hour blocks of time: http://gencon.eventdb.us/title.php?EventType=ZED&Title=BGG+Hot+Games+Room

Unofficial open gaming -The Gen Con hashtag #genconpug is used by many to find potential players. It's a great resource. -You and your friends can use any open table in the gaming ballrooms if they are not being used for scheduled events. Just go to the appropriate HQ desk (Board Game, CCG, Mini, RPG) and ask for an open table. There are tons of tables open past 7pm and before noon, but very few during peak times. -The hotel lobbies at all surrounding hotels are gaming hot spots. You can often get in on games this way. -Wed night open gaming is mostly in hotel lobbies, the Union Station, and the food court tables in the ICC.

-The corridor between the ICC and Lucas Oil Stadium is lined by vintage arcade games near the ICC, but then later by open gaming tables towards the stadium. This is a nice quiet area for open gaming. Exhibit Hall

-The 2018 map can be found here:

http://files.gencon.com/2018.ExhibitHallMap.pdf

This is a nice list of all the exhibitors and most of their websites:

https://www.livingdice.com/11705/gencon-2018-vendor-and-exhibitor-link-list/

-ALL gaming in the exhibit hall is free. Just make sure you know if they are allowing full games, or only shortened demo versions before you start. Many companies will let you play the full game, but not all. -Thursday and Saturday are the busiest. Friday and Sunday are the slowest and the best option for moving well through the exhibit hall and getting in on demo games. -Many companies run special (free) events at their booths. Flying Frog Games for example has Shadows of Brimstone play and painting events all convention long that are not advertised in the event list. However, these in booth events are often printed in the onsite program book. -Many companies give out promos at their booths, but not all of them announce it! You should always ask if there are promos while you're purchasing an item. -Just about all the exhibitors take credit cards. But don't use credit, bring cash. The wireless in the ICC is very slow and often goes down. If you try and pay by card, you'll constantly run into problems. Cash is more flexible, faster, and helps lines move quicker. You can haggle with vendors and resellers, but not with the publishers (or at least you shouldn't). -If you are trying to quickly maneuver through the exhibit hall, try and avoid the following booths while walking since they create bottlenecks: -FFG -Paizo -Asmodee

Unless of course one of those booths is your destination. Walking along the outside of the exhibit hall tends to be fastest if you need to get somewhere fast. More specifically, walking along the back wall is the easiest way to get around. In general, it’s always slow moving in the exhibit hall, so plan accordingly. -Make sure to check out the art show in the exhibit hall, even if you aren't planning on buying anything. Many of the artists are really talented. You can pay the artists directly, and if you ask they usually have no problem signing it for you. -Feel free to take pictures of cosplayers (with their permission, always) outside the exhibit hall, but NOT IN THE EXHIBIT HALL. If you do this, everyone at the convention will hate you. This is one of the main reasons why traffic slows down in the exhibit hall.

-While we’re at it, please be respectful of everyone in costume. They want to enjoy the convention as well. Take pictures when they are posing, but not when they are trying to play a game or shopping. Use your people skills. Constant picture demands are really frustrating for people that want to enjoy the convention as well. -If you're interested in new releases, be sure to ask which days/times the booth will be releasing them for sale. Publishers will often follow a schedule, e.g., 100 copies each morning at 11am. Or 200 on Thursday at 10am, and another 200 at Saturday at 10am.

Mega Games, Entertainment Events, and other Cool Stuff

-I think it’s important as part of your Gen Con experience to find a few special events that you could never do at a small convention. Here are some ideas for 2018.

-National Security Decision Making Games

http://gencon.eventdb.us/title.php?EventType=ZED&Title=National+Security+Decision+Making+Contemporary+Crisis+Game

http://gencon.eventdb.us/title.php?EventType=ZED&Title=National+Security+Decision+Making+Doomsday+Scenario+Game

-Two Rooms and Boom

http://gencon.eventdb.us/title.php?EventType=ZED&Title=Two+Rooms+%26+A+BOOM+Weekend+Ribbon

-Escape Rooms (we find the ones ran by CU adventures inside the convention to be the best)

http://gencon.eventdb.us/title.php?EventType=ZED&Title=Castle+Dracula%3A+A+Supernatural+Escape+Room

http://gencon.eventdb.us/title.php?EventType=ZED&Title=The+Cabin%3A+A+Supernatural+Escape+Room

http://gencon.eventdb.us/title.php?EventType=ZED&Title=Magischola%3A+Detention+Break+Out+Escape+Room

http://gencon.eventdb.us/title.php?EventType=ZED&Title=Escape+Room%3A+Art+Gallery

http://gencon.eventdb.us/title.php?EventType=ZED&Title=Escape+Room%3A+Contagion

http://gencon.eventdb.us/title.php?EventType=ZED&Title=Escape+Room%3A+Space+2112+Premium+Room

-Gen Con Survivor

http://gencon.eventdb.us/title.php?EventType=ZED&Title=Survivor+Gen+Con%3A+The+Blessed+%26+the+Cursed

-Ruins of Atlantis Masquerade Ball

http://gencon.eventdb.us/title.php?EventType=ENT&Title=Ruins+of+Atlantis+Masquerade+Ball

-Gen Con Dance

http://gencon.eventdb.us/title.php?EventType=ENT&Title=Gen+Con+Dance%3A+Eight+Bit+Bash%21

Parking and Transportation -If you're commuting into the convention, don't even try and get a parking space nearby unless you arrive before 8am. It won't be possible and you'll get really frustrated trying to enter the parking garages with hordes of people wandering by. Find one that doesn't allow overnight parking (those fill first) a good 5-10 blocks away and just walk. -If you're staying downtown and just need to stash your car for a few days overnight, you can use one of the nearby (e.g., mall) garages if you don't mind paying $25/night, or you can use an uncovered lot a good 5-10 blocks way for $5-10/night.

-Park Whiz and Spot Hero are good resources for finding parking spots:

https://www.parkwhiz.com/

https://spothero.com/

-Lyft is good in Indianapolis, and Gen Con has a special partnership and discounts with them this year:

https://www.gencon.com/press/lyftpartnership2018

-Gate 10 parking is the official parking vendor for Gen Con. They are located about a 25 minute walk from most downtown hotels, and also offer a shuttle, but in our experience it can be pretty slow:

http://gencon.eventdb.us/title.php?EventType=ZED&Title=5+Day+Parking+Pass+%28Wed+Aug+1st+to+Sun+Aug+5%29

Auction -The Gen Con auction is fantastic, and is a long-lasting tradition at the convention. It's located across the hallway from the exhibit hall on the first floor of the ICC. -All items need to be listed in advance at: http://www.livegameauctions.com/ -You cannot spontaneously bring items to sell that you did not preregister at the website above. Don't be that guy who wheels 50 board games into the convention center to sell without preregistering them, you'll have to wheel them straight back out. -The live auction runs from Thursday morning to Saturday night, and there are multiple theme sessions. The charity/collectable auction tends to have interesting and valuable items.

-They will post the schedule outside the main door on Thursday. -People can list items in the auction store if they are below $50 (prereg still required). This is the best place to get amazing deals at the entire convention. There is often a line to get into the store, especially at peak times. Keep checking back at the auction store throughout the convention, because items that don’t sell via regular auction will get added to the store.

-Check out this forum in June and especially July. There will be a virtual flea market for 2018, and math trade as well:

https://boardgamegeek.com/forum/13/boardgamegeek/trades

Explore and try things outside your comfort zone -Gen Con fills every single room and all event space in the following: -ICC first floor -ICC 2nd floor -Union Station -Hyatt Regency -Crown Plaza -Embassy Suites -JW Marriot -Marriot downtown -Omni -Westin -Explore these areas! You'll often find weird little events, people doing silly things, or gaming options you didn't know existed. This is the real Gen Con, and it goes far beyond rushing for new releases in the exhibit hall. -The hallway going to the Lucas Oil stadium is lined with vintage arcade games, and you can also do all sorts video gaming in other areas, usually found on the 1st floor of the ICC:

http://gencon.eventdb.us/title.php?EventType=ZED&Title=Virtual+Reality+Tactical+Shooting+Range

http://gencon.eventdb.us/gameSystem.php?EventType=EGM&GameSystem=Various

http://gencon.eventdb.us/gameSystem.php?EventType=EGM&GameSystem=Tesla+2+Battletech+Pods

-There are tons of newbie friendly RPG games for Call of Cthulhu, Dungeons and Dragons, and Pathfinder. Same for miniature games. 2 hour “learning events” are very common, and a good way to get a taste of a brand new gaming system. It’s usually pretty easy to find space in these events, or get in with generics. -True Dungeon and anime events are in the stadium. Even if you didn't sign up for True Dungeon I would recommend taking a walk down to the stadium and checking out their free area. It's a pretty incredible fantasy set-up they have (think haunted house but for D&D). If you do sign up for True Dungeon as a newbie, make sure to arrive 20-30 minutes early. There will be people available to help you make your character. It's extremely simple and you don't need to worry about the rules, it’s very intuitive. -The area outside on Georgia Street will have live entertainers, parties and other special events each evening.

-Check out the 2nd floor of the ICC, you'll often find underused areas: -Rio Grande Room -Open Crafting Room -The Quiet room (room 211) if you need to relax and get away from the crowds. -The mini paint-and-take (free) and the display cases with the winners of the various mini painting competitions.

-Kids activities are located at the Lucas Oil Stadium this year. There will be large “kids zone”, but always ask about supervision and don’t just drop your kid off without asking:

http://gencon.eventdb.us/category.php?EventType=KID

-Werewolf and other social games (two rooms and a boom, the resistance) pop up like weeds in the ICC hallways starting around 11pm. Don't feel weird about asking to join, these groups are accommodating to everybody. The more the merrier. -The convention is open 24 hours and there is always people around playing games, though it dies down between 3am - 8am. Many restaurants and bars are open most of the night in downtown Indy, some like Scotty's pretty much never close during the convention. White Castle and Steak and Shake are good last resorts if you’re desperate for late night food quickly.

-Check out the seminar list, especially if you’re interest in game design, writing, or industry trends:

http://gencon.eventdb.us/category.php?EventType=SEM

-Most importantly, go outside your comfort zone. Try something completely new. Do a demo of a new type of game in the exhibit hall, try a totally new type of event like the National Security Decision Making Games, an Escape Room, or type of board game you normally wouldn’t play. GC offers plenty of opportunity to try new things. Hope this helps!
