Just to spread the data love, here is a csv file (as of about 9am this morning) of the event catalog.

Take it with a grain of salt since it isn't the official data from an official source.

Yeah, why would they want to do that?

Quite the shitshow. Chainsaw was right. I'm scared, too.

Actually, somehow, it seems I got everything in my cart. No freaking idea how. That said, my friends (my players from my home game), most of whom are attending their first con, got various degrees of screwed. So I don't know exactly what I'll actually be playing in since I told them they could take anything that I got *except* Grodog's CH-1 game on Sat. afternoon. I'll be there!

So while I'm technically in Jeff's Thu. and Sat. night games and Chainsaw's Fri. night, those might go to my players if they want them. I'm technically in Eli's Sat. morning gameis that the one you're in, Guy?

So, yeah, not sure what I'll actually end up playing in, but I'll have 2-3 things prepped to run in pickup games in addition to the stuff I'm running on grid.

Seems like there are seats left in some interesting games if they ever get back to letting people try.

You suck, ok not really. That's the one GP game I wanted to get into.

However, the latest news on the GC forum is that the staff is going back and working through all of the accounts and using time stamps to determine who would have gotten which tickets, if the system had registered games without getting any errors. They said it may affect some of the users with currently registered games but they will contact those persons to inform them and see what can be worked out before they remove any registered events from their account. So, when they are done, some people might actually have some or all of the games they tried to register for.

I may have a spare ticket to Jeff's Thursday night game, Mike, which I'd be happy to give up to you and/or one of your players if that helps out at all.

Wow, that's really nice of you, Allan! Let's see what happens when the "system" comes "back" "online." Then I'll have a clearer sense of what my players actually have.

I realized this afternoon that there are seven of us coming out to GaryCon! I have been gaming with these people face to face for up to twenty years, and they are some of the best folks I know. Actually, the longest-tenured of them moved to California last summer, so it's great that he's going to make it and get back in the game. J (BigPerm) and I are psyched to bring them to the con. NYC will be representing.

Also, I just want to mention that if, somehow, anyone is playing a character that dies during GaryCon, hang on to the sheet if you're able. One of the things I'm prepping for off-gird is meant to be used after a TPK. I figure GaryCon counts.

Hey, Allan, if it's still possible, one of my associates would love that ticket to Jeff's Thursday night game.

All yours Mike. I'll hold onto the ticket, so you just need to pick it up from me sometime before the event begins :D

Thanks!

We ought to have some extra seats at various tables, too, once we're done sorting through everything (I thought playing D&D with them was like herding cats!). I'll post what we have here in case anyone's interested.
