    If you play war games for a long, you soon realize the horrible cost in human terms of any War. It's one of the good lessons to be learned by playing war games. Makes you pretty anti-war.

    The kickstarters pay for wave 1 which is then sold at gencon. If they actually gave the backers wave 1 they would miss out on the revenue of gencon. It's the better business decision. But the customers lose. I'm done with kickstarter

    The Gate Ten problem goes way deeper than that...the Tuesday before Gen Con, they lost the lease to their main lot due to nonpayment of rent (or specifically, refusing to pay the difference after their rent was significantly increased last year). The lot was given to a different company, who was entirely unprepared to have what is now their lot completely booked for literally two days later. Initially, Horseshoe said they would NOT be honoring Gate Ten parking, but by Thursday morning they apparently changed their mind because they gave me a ticket when I showed up with my Gate Ten pass that was good for all four days. There were no in-and-out privileges, though, as Gate Ten was promising. (I still paid for them, though, since Horeshoe's daily rate was *less* than the Gate Ten prepaid rate but I obviously didn't get refunded the difference.) All told, it ended up alright, though I wish I'd known where the new shuttle drop-off was before Saturday.

  • @theorderofgeeks
    @theorderofgeeks หลายเดือนก่อน

    The 2 things I'd add is.... 1) the convention center removes more and more chairs and areas to rest every year and replace it with open floor. These are gamers that dont have anywhere to sit and olay with friends except the floor. If the seating was replaced for a good reason, i get it. It seems they dont want people there. Walk around or leave. Because i saw them making people get up off the floor if it was an area they didnt want people gathering or resting. 2) save money of the game library pass. If you already have a game you want to play, there were always open tournament tables in the stadium no one was using. Its also the best area to sit down and relax, but it's quite a distance from the convention floor. In my opinion, take some of the demo tables immediately next to the convention floor and block it out for people to play games with friends. Have areas to game at a gaming convention. Rant over.

    • @The_BoardGame_Sherpa
      @The_BoardGame_Sherpa หลายเดือนก่อน

      @theorderofgeeks 100% agree on both point. Looking back at my older GenCon photos, they definitely had more seating in the past outside the vendor hall. I bet its that overdramatic woman in the video who brought out security who made the decision to hide the chairs so they wouldn't get sat on. The games library was really nice, but we just didnt use it enough to justify the cost of it... Especially when they have the comfy church chairs right outside with plenty of open tables... Unless the overdramatic lady decides to take the nice chairs away next year!

    I gotta say, I agree with Johnny about the extra space for gaming. I mean, at least during Gen Con they can store that little bit of stuff in a storage closet or something. And maybe advertise at Gen Con about their gaming space and, well you get the gist. And I'm with Mrs Sherpa on the tp situation! Too much is never enough!! Glad to hear you had more positives than negatives 👍😁

      As you could see, we were really struggling to find 10 bad things... Also was a bit of a spoiler to say Best Gen Con ever at the beginning of the video! LOL It would be nice to have more space. The area they have is small, but theres only a handful of people there... Maybe a bigger space would encourage more people - might be a good experiment next year... There have been hotel trips where the first roll of quadruple-ply TP ran out within 4 hours... Without any digestive issues from either of us... LOL

      The worst part is that you can always avoid it… A lot of events came out after the initial batch of passes and tickets were mailed out… So you had to go there to pick up your event tickets…. As someone who is running event for the first time this year, there has to be a better process for that - I couldn’t scan my attendees tickets, and the deadline was over by the time I got back to my hotel…

      @donnakeferlis1649 - Oh yeah, it was a crazy weekend in the best way! Now the work begins! I just posted 200+ pictures on my facebook page (and described them and tagged them - no easy task LOL) and I have a list of about 20 videos that I need to make LOL - Starting off slowly and then we get to the ones that may take a while to film and edit! The Lucha Wars Wrestling one is on the list, but I need some video files from No Facebook Erik :)

    When you figure out a confusing rulebook it gives an incredible sense of accomplishment. And then you have an awesome new game to play! There are several games that I almost gave up on. Anyway, if I get this game I'll definitely have to rewatch this video.
