TOPIC: First time Gamehole Con advice

Did anyone mention the ice cream? If you have time, go get some ice cream, almost fresh from the cows! babcockdairystore.wisc.edu/

Or at least find it at the student union.

Is there a meeting place for token trading? It’s been a few years and I think there was space outside TD last time only I don’t know what type of “social distancing” measures might be in place? I also have never been on Wednesday, is there a meetup Wednesday?

I know people have been planning unofficial meetups in the Gameholecon channel of the Fans of True Dungeon discord server.

You might run into folks walking around that may or may not be published and considered famous by someone at the con. It’s chill though and the games are fun and the people are genuine.

I was once destroyed in a game of Fast Food Franchise by Peter Adkison at GHC, which seemed fitting.

I think many people are planning a meetup and trade Wednesday evening followed by a dinner group. Not sure exactly where but likely just outside of TD HQ for ease of gathering

Might I suggest the reception at the Clarion?

There is free beer.....

I don't drink. I'll be at the convention hall until we head to dinner

Is there a reception on Wednesday? I thought the receptions were only on Thurs, Fri and Sat.

The hotel has them nightly.

They are sponsored throughout the con.

Non forumites will potentially be visiting the HQ location to verify where they are going during con. They will not know to check out the hotel. So I'll stick in the convention center myself.

Valid.

I may just bounce back and forth....

I plan on arriving on Monday. going to meet up with some folks and get some trading done. I plan to split my time between Sheraton and outside TD and other hotels.

so I guess I will be bouncing too.
