*jealous*
I've so wanted to go to any of the big cons, but I can't justify dragging the family hundreds of miles to a just-for-me event. :P

Well...
That's just one of the many reasons why I'm glad I still don't have kids.

...but they're worth it.
It's not that bad really. Challenging, yes. Also quite rewarding. And provides a great excuse to peruse the toy aisles again :) http://www.cc.com/video-clips/7bn1m1/comedy-central-presents-kids-are-wo...

I would love to be able to say I was going, unfortunately I cannot. Perhaps next year, since I just got a better job. :)

I'll be going! Which reminds me, I need to update the GMing schedule :) My wife goes with me as well, so it works out nicely. Got a couple more years for the kids. The younger one plays D&D at local game days. The eldest is all about pokemon. So maybe!

"Awww yiss" is the perfect sentiment. I'm excited about the Money is the Root of all Fun: Economics in Games panel. The new EP scenarios look interesting, too.

Indeed!
I'm looking forward to Money is the Root of All Fun as well, and not just because I'm a nerdy fan of Caleb Stokes! I've also got a couple EP games lined up, though I'm dialing it back some this year since I think I've done like four games apiece the previous two years, ha-ha.

I wish I could go to GenCon, but unfortunately the country it is in is a bit far away from me.

panel recording
I'm currently attending The Campaign Doctors on Friday at 01:00 PM, Money is the Root of all Fun: Economics in Games on Friday at 03:00 PM,  Protect Yourself! Why Game Designers Need To Know Patents, Copyrights, and Trademarks on Friday at 07:00 PM, and What's up with Posthuman & Eclipse Phase? on Saturday at 03:00 PM. I plan on recording audio only with my phone. Last year I video recorded a few panels with my phone and it turned out beef enough I haven't shared the recordings. Is anyone else recording anything?

Pickup games
I will be there as well. I was only able to get into one game in Sunday. Is anyone doing any pickup gaming throughout the con? I got shut out of most of the games I really wanted so i have some fairly open blocks of time.
