I used to do that in the beginning back when I was more spry and less cripply. It was so cheap to go to origins back then. I would priceline a hotel for $30 a night in the area (around $35 a night after all the taxes) and then drive in for the $7 all day parking. It was wonderful compared to gencon where those @$$holes would gouge you for $20 parking.

I just booked my hotel for the chicago portion of my gencon trip for only $32 a night thanks to a priceline coupon. I managed to snag another coupon and now I'm looking at origins. Chances are it'll be even cheaper given the relative price difference between Chicago and Columbus. Don't suppose anyone else was interested in going to Origins and still needed a bed?

<br /><br />I was hoping to go, but I don't know if I'll have the vacation time.  =[<br />And right now, I don't think I can afford any unpaid time off.

Looks like there was an origins-exclusive TD token in the swag bag.

<br /><br /> Going to have to call BS on that one... at least the "origins exclusive" part.. since you have no Idea if it'll be given at gencon.

<br />It's probably a Horn of BS.  Try blowing it, Henwy.<br /><br />

Nope!  Henwy speaks a semi-truth.<br /><br />Gen Con asked us to make a special non-game gold token to promote Gen Con.  They have been giving them out all over the place this summer at various Cons.  Everyone is getting one at Origins in their handout bag.  It's a great promotion for both us and Gen Con.  It has no in-game effect...it just has the Gen Con logo and the dates.<br /><br />I think they are giving some away at Gen Con to ViGs and volunteers...and I am sure we can have some for our TD volunteers as well.<br /><br /><br />

<br /><br />Great - now I have to go find a way to get one of these Promo tokens, that I didn't even know existed until now  ;/<br /><br />You should make up a similar token to give out to promote your next True Realm Event, whenever that happens (I'm the eternal optimist)   =)
