Too, publishers have gotten to where they time their releases exactly with GenCon, creating incentive to go... <br /><br />Its not just GenCon though, I had more trouble getting a Hotel at Origins this year than ever before and had to settle on one not beside the Convention Center. I think the hobby is just growing and thus the Cons are all growing. GenCon is the worst, but its not alone. <br /><br />Also, I suspect part of the problem will self-correct at some point as people start realizing there are, in point of fact other Cons they can go to much cheaper.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06110643974085359744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279162265168778574.post-17768628104738767732015-04-06T18:04:55.957-06:002015-04-06T18:04:55.957-06:00The other thing I can see is that GenCon is contra...The other thing I can see is that GenCon is contracted to Indy until like 2020..or something like that. So depending on how the contract is worded that may not even be an option until after then. They looked into it when the whole law thing started up, you know the law i'm talking about i'm sure. I think it would be nice to have at least one more somewhere it could still stay large but give others who would like to go but cant afford to get there or the ungodly hotel cost a chance to go.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279162265168778574.post-13835238974044157542015-04-06T15:09:38.893-06:002015-04-06T15:09:38.893-06:00I KNOW!!!

If you want to play something, it is being played somewhere at GC. The hotel situation is a problem but it has been like that at Dragon*Con for the last decade or more and people manage. I am not sure what the best solution would be, though I would love to see a proper "GenCon South".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
