IMPORTANT! GenCon Indy Plans!

How fast do we have to the work in? Also what are the dates, costs and etc. for going to Gen Con? Do judges get any kind of a discount etc?

Well anyway I am just heading out the door otherwise I would look some of this up myself. But I am very interested in hitting up Gen Con this year and maybe running a Planewalker event.

Alright sounds good, I am willing to possibly run a Planewalker written adventure or else I can come up with Planescape set adventure concept enough to get a paragrath submission in anyway. Just noticed I am actually on the yahoo list but apparently it has been getting blocked by hotmail til I just unblocked it....

I am certainly interested in Dming and I could very easily have a module completed if you needed me to do one. Do you want me to just give you a paragrath description on a post here? That being said I guess that depends on if you want me to write a module I am fine running someone else's module if you need me to do that. Anyway I guess let me know.

Those that do volunteer, please be sure to think about the likelihood of following through. It is easy to get excited and speak up now (especially given the rush for submission). I've been guilty of such before. That said, please speak up regardless so that we know what kind of interest there is.

I personally would like to see something on Urban Planescape, but I'm not the one to volunteer such things. As mentioned, we'll plan on having a website/community info session. Any other big topics?

What about a techie session where we talk about the engine we have running this site? Just a thought.

Don't worry about. Just throwing random ideas out there.

I just know many other fan sites have thought about putting together something like what we did, but haven't been able to (either fall short, or never get around to it). Just wondered if a full-blown techie session (you can't enter the door unless you can declare variables in 3 languages!) miht be interesting.

But, it's just brainstorming, so don't worry about it.

In lieu of an actual plot for the PW Adventure, I decided to dust of my old philosophy skills and come up with a description that really doesn't say much of anything. Any opinions on the following as the catalog description of the PW Adventure? I'm not too concerned, since any adventure session that says "Planescape" in it will sell out in the first 48 hours.

Title: Planewalking
Description: Listen up, berks! The factions have torn Sigil apart in their war. The Lady's Edict has removed them from power leaving the Guilds as the major players in the City of Doors. Yet, the planes continue on - the Blood War rages, and the celestials sit aloof but always ready to impose their view of goodness on any who would oppose them. Experience the updated Planescape setting at this adventure using the newest d20 rules created by Planewalker.com, the premiere Planescape Fan Site. Many things have changed, but the landscape is still strikingly familiar. For more information, go to: /community/gencon.php

Q&A seminar decription forthcoming...

Here is the seminar, which will be Friday at 5

The New Planescape Campaign Setting: Q&A Session with the Planewalker.com
Join the staff of Planewalker.com, the premiere Planescape Fan Site, to discuss everyone’s favorite planar campaign setting. This session will look at what updtes we have made, our future plans, and what you can do to help. Bring your ideas and your questions - because the planes need them both! More information at: /community/gencon.php

Well I looked but my path from Duluth Mn would be way out of the way for me to give you a ride. Ah well. :cry:

I know I'm coming in a little late on this, but...

I may be up for this, if for nothing else, than meeting others from the site. A friend and I were planning on hitting GenCon anyway this year, it's just a question of getting the okay from the preggers wife.

If someone wants the pressure off for DMing, or wants a PS junkie on their docket, I'll hook up.

And if anyone gives a flying rat's petoot, I'll sit in on the panel if you'd like an artsy-fartsy perspective. (More artsy, less fartsy...)

I might as well put in a shameless plug for my own sessions, also on the GenCon page on the main site. I'll be giving three talks, actually. Two on gaming, more for DMs, but a bit for players. One is on a conversion of another gaming system (Jorune) to d20. I don't mind pity attendees to fill the seats.[/url]

Chessex owns the rights to it now. They've let it all but fade away despite a pretty strong community. Oddly enough, it is extremely popular in France.

I eventually (before GenCon) plan to have materials for download. I should do that soon, huh?
