This is a place holder for now so I can link it to the main website. As the events are finalized I will post them here.

Mark me down. grabbing plain tickets and such within the next of 30 days. I will be there for the entire event and likely not leaving the table for any other attractions.

Ive never been to a Gencon before but would love to go to one. I was wondering if I could get a rundown of what I could expect if I do make the trip?

I really wish all the stuff we had planned for GenCon was something that could happen at BGGCon Razz The latter I'm actually planning on attending. The former, if I went, I'd have to make Saturday and Sunday only.

But there's so much good stuff, I might be convinced. I have until June or something for early tickets Wink I'd also be interested in knowing what's involved, though if I went, I may just be a full-day participant.

Are you asking about Gencon in general or Dragon Dice at Gencon?

Same question applies here. If you are only making a single day trip then you may enjoy yourself more just looking at the con than spending most of it sitting in our booth.

I was thinking specifically of Dragon Dice™ at Gencon. It looks like the other Gencon thread mentions a lot of what's happening, though. But I'd be interested in knowing what a rep/helper would be doing? Mostly rules explainer/judge? Coordinating the tournaments?

i can answer this one.

We have three types of types of volunteer for reps. In general you just sign up and I assign you based on my personal whim.

The booth monkey sits in our exhibitors booth and does demo after demo to single individuals. One new thing this year will be a 'shorter' standing demo for those only casually interested.

The tournament guy will be in charge of a specific event (like Magicians Only or Worst Army). They will collect event tickets, do random pairings, answer rules questions, man the timer, collect round results, do new pairings. usually this goes to one of our more experienced reps due to the rules and pairing logic required.

Finally, the novice events. This is a massive player demo, but we don't use the 'D' word in the event hall. People bring tickets and you do random pairings. you talk them through a single turn and help them count dice and then you let them play eachother and answer the same questions over and over as you hand hold them through a game. if they get done you can repair or they can just replay each other until the event time is over. If they want to go into the rules for more advanced dice you answer questions.

what you get out of us depends on how many hours you can work. Smile but at minimum is a promotional inked die that can't be purchased.

for those who are coming to help at Gencon. if you've worked for us previously then you've gotten a white Treefolk tshirt. This year you will get a one of the new stone blue.

I have on my list Dusty and Skawlliy and Shoe (besides the BoD who are special). Shoe will get his shirts at pax. Dusty and Skawilly will get two blue and two white. (while supplies and sizes last - meaning Dusty, sorry we may have no XL whites left, just L and 2X - lets work that out)

Everyone must wear their shirts while running an event or demoing in the booth.

we will try to coordinate to wear the same color on the same day (thurs and sun - white; fri and sat - blue)

back to packing.

Anyone can do a pickup game and anyone can participate in a schedule event when they aren't scheduled to work.

for those who work pretty much all day. we will play in the events scheduled in the evening and by then its 11pm.

FYI - this has been there since January, but I'm just now linking it to our site instead of just via the Gencon events.
