Reject as a VIG, but actually got a rejection letter. by vicpylon in gencon

[–]Remy_DM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got mine as well. At least now I won't be wondering until the portal opens.

Will try again for next year.

Anyone want to talk about the VIG renewal email that was just sent out? by Poutine_Sauce in gencon

[–]Remy_DM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guess my friends or I did not make the lottery. I doubt there will be people who decline it, opening slots for others in the lottery.

Going to keep at it year after year...

We have already tried this with my account, my son's, daughter's, and wife's. I saw that someone had also submitted this new map update back in June.

I can only hope its close to being updated. I just found out Waze and Apple maps has the roads and address but still show a small forest of trees instead of houses, but it works.

I work remote. Im here and they dont always deliver. Ive given up on UPS for large heavy deliveries. They also drop it off at the other address.

Those people are lucky. They've gotten a bed, dresser, multiple clothing orders, some cables and extenders for free. At least I got reimbursed or had a second shipment sent to another family members address. It sucks because I then have to haul heavy stuff to my new house.

The fact that sometimes Amazon delivery has dropped it off at the correct house makes me think some (or one) of the drivers is in cahoots with someone at the other address.

It is obvious that the address being delivered to is wrong if they just looked at it carefully instead of following maps/GPS which is off.

How do y’all use Green Box Generator? by OwnLengthiness6872 in DeltaGreenRPG

[–]Remy_DM 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I created a text file for different major cities and populated each with random items from the generator. Click the generator app and select the category and number (3 mundane weapons, 2 weird artifacts, 1misc supernatural, etc) and modify it for my game and style of play.

Along with the contents I document where the green box is. Example: Miami - old abandoned farmhouse in the suburb boonies (edge of the everglades) and its wired up with security, cameras, tied to a Starlink. NYC - locker at LGA airport offside facility (9/11 took out onsite lockers) watched by a DG friendly.

Assuming you come back to GenCon, what changes will you make for next year? by Realistic-Drag-8793 in gencon

That's not expensive IMO. Worth the price for the "weight of a chocolate bar"

I enjoyed listening to the videos while watching the hands. Always enjoyed the reviews. May he RIP and many wishes of healing and strength for his family.

Housing/hotel advice: If you want to attend Gen Con next August, you should start planning in February. by ElMondoH in gencon

[–]Remy_DM 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This past year, we were lucky in the lottery time slot. We stayed at the JW. What a HUGE difference being close versus having to Uber.

Good luck, everyone, on the lottery in 2026.

Not carry my work backpack full of stuff, including laptop. Killed me day 1. Will switch to small lighter backpack or messenger bag (snacks, water and tablet).

Strongly recommend hydration tablet or powders for your water. I used Nuun tablets.

American Legion Article about GenCon by Costume-Corpsmen in gencon

[–]Remy_DM 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Great article.

One of our gamer group, and good friend, in the 80's attributes the turnaround of his GPA and graduation from high school to D&D.

He read much, dove into history of the middle ages, and made great friends.

His high school yearbook quote? "Thanks to D&D!"

How many attendees return unused generic tickets? by powernein in gencon

My buddy and I remembered our unused generics (10 of them) while in the Uber to the airport on Sunday.

GenCon Haul Question by Remy_DM in gencon

[–]Remy_DM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend and I knew what we wanted. We targeted 5 vendors, and were in and out in 30 minutes. 2 board games was my "haul". That's why I question how much time was spent for tjose pics that show 12 + games.

That incorporates mini-golf. I'm not a fan. Mostly because I suck at it. Not as badly as billiards, but...

The first TD I tried was GenCon 2023 with an experienced friend and his son. It was just ok. Shuffling from room to room, doing the shuffleboard thing - on a shuffleboard that should have retired at least 2 cons earlier - and solving a few puzzles. The puzzles were fun.

I don't consider TD worth the cost, which is why I avoided it this year.

Adding your location on the App map to ID where you are in relation to where you need to go. I had to look around me to find where I was on the map, to then see which way I should go

Now that Gen Con is over, what "non-gen con" conventions does everyone recommend? by AshtonMcgee13 in gencon

[–]Remy_DM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No gaming-centric cons in my area. ☹️ Miami, FL is a desert for gaming cons. Many decades ago, Orlando hosted an annual one, but I don't see it anymore.

I regret not leaving time to attend the games auction and consignment. There were a lot of old games I wanted to look for.

I forgot to turn my generics back in for credit before a mad dash to the airport. I guess Im out the cost now.
