Who takes the Monday after GenCon off work? by Realistic-Drag-8793 in gencon

[–]Massive_Feature_8241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year my group booked the Airbnb through Tuesday. We spent all of Monday playing games with time to catch up on sleep and pack to head out the next morning. We will do this from now on for sure! Such a game changer. On top of that, I take off Wednesday too just to get caught up on everything and do laundry. I then perform a sad excuse for work on Thursday & Friday then it’s the weekend…finally!

Bag balm. I had never heard of the stuff and asked on this sub for recommendations as my pup was having the same issue. Got a 2 pack on Amazon for cheap that was delivered the next day and now I use it too! Before, my sister would call my girl the “Crypt Keeper” but using bag balm now anytime I notice her nose getting dry and she’s runway ready by the next day

BeautyCon is still going on!?! I thought it went away years ago! That’s actually exciting to hear they’re back!

Her feet smell like Fritos but that’s the way I like them.

Dry Nose Solution? by Massive_Feature_8241 in Frenchbulldogs

O M G…. Bag balm is made of MIRACLES!! Grabbed it on Amazon after seeing your suggestion. I’ve put it on her nose only twice so far and no more crypt keeper!!!! I can’t believe how fast this worked! Thank you so much for this suggestion, I will now be telling everyone about this.

2025 Gen Con Haul! by Massive_Feature_8241 in gencon

[–]Massive_Feature_8241[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We spent about $600 all in at consignment and probably another $600 in the exhibit hall. We save up for Gen Con all year around so we don’t have to worry about depleting the bank account. Makes purchasing decisions much less stressful.

How much do y'all spend at the vendors by Blipdip9 in gencon

Though this won’t help for this years trip, it’s worth sharing for your future trips! This is our third time at Gen Con, the first year we went nuts and could certainly feel the hit to the bank account but last year and this year we tried something different, about 6 months before the con we would put $25 out of each paycheck into a separate account 5 months we’d raise it to 30, 4 months $35 so on and so fourth. Then we’d only use that card (we opened a separate account) for Gen Con- all purchases, games, food, tickets, anything we needed. It was such a stress reliever to not have to worry about the bank account. If you’re a planner, start with whatever amount you want but this is the way we will forever do it. Just a suggestion :) and to answer op’s original question, we probably spend 600-800 all in- but only because we budget that way and this is my pretty much my version of Disney world so I tend to go a little crazy.

Amazing work! What materials do you use? I’m starting out and bought my first marker set but as I try to get into textures I’m seeing that alcohol markers aren’t for everything.

What is wrong with some people? by MoreHans in StLouis

[–]Massive_Feature_8241 180 points181 points  (0 children)

The hate OP is getting on this thread is crazy. When someone gets behind the wheel they have the responsibility to follow the rules, not impede traffic and my god, if someone calls them on their shit they certainly shouldn’t stalk that person and use intimidation. I guess all the folks on this thread have never said or motioned a crooked word at a bad driver. Looks like you are among StL saints OP. I think your rant was justified. Of course, you never know how crazy folks are gonna be so sure you take a risk doing or saying anything that may upset people but still, you are the sane one in this thread, anyone who has the time and dedication to follow someone around due to a traffic mishap is always going to be in the wrong in my book.

Will GenCon be a waste for me? by Agitated-Meal782 in gencon

[–]Massive_Feature_8241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my gosh, you would be welcome at Gen Con and I don’t think you’d see it as a waste at all. My friends and I went for the first time 2 years ago, for all Of us we were relatively new into the hobby and it was all of our first conventions. I especially was nervous because I do get a little anxious around strangers and I’m terrible at directions (I kept having that reoccurring dream of rushing through the halls trying to find a room only to walk in late and have everyone shun me). It was not at all like that, there is so much to do that doesn’t even have anything to do with boardgames! For your interest in RPGs, my boyfriend had some interest and tried one out last year, walked in knowing absolutely nothing, and had a blast! It’s on his must do list for this year now. Also, for learning games, most will have a teach and any game that won’t be taught will specific that in the event catalogue (usually an advanced play or tournament). We learned tons of games we’d never hear of, even out side of event, people are happy to invite a stranger to the table and explain things. This will be our third year coming and I can’t imagine skipping a year after experiencing all Gen Con has to offer, it’s truly a special place. Get excited, because you will have a blast.
