And fingers are crossed for 2013+

This is a bit of a leap into the unknown. I'm a wee bit nervous about some of the surprises to come. Still...I had to do it. There is so much more fun to be had in the new location/space.

Surprises there will always be. But I see tremendous support from some talented people here; I'm certain you know what can be accomplished by a determined group of skilled people - just point us at the challenge.

Anti-Union. LOL Sorry... Local Union 1165.
Simple economics. When the union wasnt envolved in TD it was volunteer based= Free!
When you have to higher workers at a set rate= $
Way to read waaaaayy outside the lines. If tickets are going to be at the same price with maybe a couple dollars extra, that is understandable.
Anti-Union, sheesh.
As for over reaction, why keep a box full of token if I couldnt afford to use them anymore. I already have a ROOM full of Magic the Gathering cards I need to sort and get rid of.

With the new location and new more immersive environment the popularity of TD is bound to grow in 2012 and hopefully grow even more into 2013. I can't imagine any real gamer not loving TD! I know that for me and my friends TD is the highlight for the entire con.

This will be my first year not being a vendor. I'm excited to just be a Con Attendiee and to spend more time at TD.


As for the Union Labor at GenCon. It is my understanding that if you hire an outside company to help with the setup of your booth, you must include union labor. If your company sets up the booth with its own internal labor you do not need the union folks. Me and my team always set up our own booth and we never dealt with Union people. WotC folks use union labor because while they staff their booth they never set it up themselves.

I could be off base here but I don't think including union folks will necessairly apply to TD as from Jeff's comments it sounds like it doesn't or won't effect it that much. Maybe he has to hire the Union forklift driver or something.
Sweet a combat room, we won't take damage!

as union member for 20 years, i can tell you that common sense and teamwork is the only route. if union labor is required, lets use them to the best of their and our abilities. the volunteers are still going to be needed.

TD is the one reason that I have been coming back to GenCon, I am addicted and proud of it.

10 player groups is not popular for a few reasons

1) people who played the same event before become dead wait not wanting to ruin it for the poeple playing this year
2) playing with people that are GM's
3) Communiation makes the 12 mins not enough time for 10 people that dont know how to work well to together(might be due to the reasons above)
4) large groups require good game masters, while one i had last year was one of the best i had, was in the the FEAST room, think he i seen his badge said David or Dave something, i had others that really were lost.

I serious considering if the money is worth the 2 hrs, after you factor eveyrthing else into playing this. I would have to suggest that if your running a room, they have there own special slots where they can play.

I like to say this is fun, I did really enjoy this the year before, but
