Overview of Gen Con 2019 Plan:
Wednesday, we presumably fly in.
Thursday:
9am-1pm: Heart Playtest: The City Beneath, this being something to do with the game Spire, which is about a secret rebellion of oppressed Drow against their High Elf rulers in a very weird city. It falls under "weird indie games", not "D&D variant".
1pm-6pm: Eat and shop!
6pm-10pm: Magonomin: Queen Elizabeth's Astronomer Is Missing! This is a Fate variant where the PCs are wizards in Elizabethan England.
Friday:
10am-Noon: 2nd edition CthulhuTech: Shadow War: Lightning Mission (It's possible I'll swap this out if a slot opens in an 8am-noon game I want more, but I am curious about the new CthulhuTech.)
Noon-3pm: Phoenix Dawn Command. This one's free, and I do hope it'll cover a full game session. A couple of years ago, we did a character generation only session, but I think that was only a single hour.
3pm-6pm: Currently leaving this open for eating and shopping.
6pm-10pm: Bluebeard's Legacy. In the original Bluebeard's Bride, folks play the Sisters, aspects of Bluebeard's Bride. Here, they play the Brothers, aspects of his Son. I very much want to get a feel for this.
Saturday:
9am-1pm: Clockwork Dominion: Conspiracy of Ravens. This requires some actual knowledge of the various system options, so I'm going to have to try to bone up on those.
1pm-6pm: Blue Rose LARP: Trials of the Rose: The Call to Adventure. A 12-20 person LARP, apparently also using the AGE system. I may swap it out, but perhaps not. I do want to understand the game system and world better, and I want there to be a Fate version of the RPG.
6pm-10pm: Masks: Face Your Fears. This is a PbtA game about teenage superheroes. If you've seen Young Justice Season 1, this is basically that as a game. Josh and I each have a ticket for this one.
Sunday:
10am-2pm: Over the Edge: Under Broken Wings. I want to see how 3rd edition plays.
We plan to fly out Monday, so the rest of Sunday is for shopping, hanging out, and packing, and probably at least some sleeping.
