Man I wish I had a decent desktop so I could play in these. Will be really missing out next week as I was actually coming to Chicago this year but alas. I just hope this all gets sorted out in enough time that they don't cancel Gencon.


I’m gonna be straight with you - GenCon ain’t happening.

We ARE, however determined to do at least some of the events GenCon events online.

Do what you can to make vassal work. Borrow a computer if you have to.

I hope you can get it to work by Saturday. If not - you have until the end of July to get something working to be able to participate in Gen Con events via Vassal.

That is pretty much what I had already deduced from some of the things they have been saying. It just sucks because I haven't been able to make it the last couple years and was in a really good position to be able to actually attend not only gencon, but a couple other regional that I have been wanting to travel to finally.

That is unfortunate. However - I strongly encourage you to really see if you can make vassal happen somehow. I know funds are tight for everyone these days, but prices on computers are also relatively low. You can get a new basic pc (refurbished) for under $100. That’s less than you’d pay in gas to go to everything you’re talking about, which you now won’t be spending.

Congratulations TINT. I was talking with Ian straight after Hutt100 and we concluded Mace plus Blizz would have been a really good option there.
