Hmm, I'm kinda new to this list. I'm a GM from Pasadena, TX USA. I'm trying
to start a campaign but no one has any time so i'm probably going to have to
flush everyone and look for more people. Ok, I beleive this is a bit off topic.

What is GenCon? I've heard of it, but that's all, just heard of it.
When is it and where is it going to be next? Thanks..

GenCon is about teh largest gaming convention in the world. More or less
it's TSR's big con (or was, many many moons ago). It's held in
Minneappolis, minnisota every year in August, right around teh 10th (I can
remember that because taht's my B-Day:))

You're new eh?
Well you'll soon learn that Bull is totally high.
Gen-Con IS what he said, but it's ACTUALLY held in Milwaukee, Wisconson.

Sheez Bull I only lived an hour from Minneapolis, I think I might have made
a Gen-Con if they were held there! :-)

You sure you don't mean Milwaukee in Wisconsin. I've been to GenCon and I
don't seem to remember taking a detour to Minnisota. ;-)

Is it in the "mysterious employer credo" that these little rendezvous always
have to be in exotic locales.

I mean just once wouldn't you like to sit down at a Denny's and plan
an assassination over a French Slam Breakfest?

LOL...
Bull seems to be the whipping boy today...See what all of those all
nighters will do to ya....
As for GenCon....I would discribe it as one of the largest masses of
unwashed bodies in the US.... ;) tens of thousands of
people..Thousands of distributors/people who want your
money...hundreds of games to play....As well as celebrities of all
sorts...art from around the globe..And lots of less than inhibited
folks running around..some wearing stuff they would never be caught
dead in at home...[ie..an attractive female wearing a chainmail
bikini..and nothing else..I can only think.."That must pinch..But
maybe she like it.."]
