My Ra costume is coming along - the hardest part is going to be the staff, at this point. I need to either spend a few weeks carving it out of a block of wood, find someone with knowledge/experience with 3D printing (one friend is working on it, but he's in China so I might have some timing/logistical issues there), or figure out how to design and 3D print it myself…
(And here I'm talking about the head piece - I already have the staff, itself. And the LEDs that will be mounted in the head piece. And the red gemstone… )
Well I thought I was going to have to change my costume but no instead I'm going to do TWO at Gen-Con, a friend of mine is going to make the Matriarch for me for FREE woot! I also was going through my closet and realized that I have Miss Information already done in my closet so I am going to do two days as Matriarch and the other two as Miss Information! I cannot wait to see everyone...I'm so excited that I keep checking my email to look for something from Paul to say when I get my badge and where we are all meeting up on Wednesday.
Oh, I do have to say that I will be in a walking boot and using a cane only because I have a bad leg and if I am demoing I need to be able to move around so yeah in the demo area can I have a place that is really open so I can move easier?
Also, I have two crows that are going to sit on my shoulders for Matriarch that I fitted to me just because I thought it would be awesome!
Okay, this seems like the most relevant topic for my question:
Are there going to be any official SotM games at Gen Con? I've searched the event finder page and the DL-able Excel doc, but the only things that come up >G or SotM relevant are captaingoldfish's "Citizens Rise!" events. Is >Games only going to have demo events, nothing that can be pre-registered for to fit a definite time in one's schedule? If that's the case, how often and where are the demos being done?
TIA to anybody with info!
@Lynniekitty: Spite & Matriarch? How utterly terrifying would that be? Mwa-hahahhahaa... And is your Miss Information going to be Demure Office Worker or Revealed Saboteur? :D
If GenCon is like PAX East, one of the changes is that if you show enough interest at the booth, you may be asked to run games yourself. Another possible change is that if you walk through the free play area, you might well find many games of Sentinels in progress. Likewise, walking around hotel lobbies has a good chance of that as well.
There are no official registerable times to play. However, we will have a much larger booth, and will have room to fit at least 5 games of Sentinels very comfortably with plenty of chair space etc. There are also some games in the Gen Con game library from last year, and we might donate a few more this year if the demand is there, so between those and people's personal copies, I suspect that it will be pretty easy to get a game going in the free play area as well.
If I end up going to gen con again this year I think quite a bit of my down time will be convincing people to play some sentinels in the big game room.
G>G, are you still looking for volunteers for Pax Prime Labor Day weekend? I'm starting a new job that frees me up the whole convention period, including setup day. I'd love to help out as much as you need.
