I spoke with Jake "devilwithcape", the local Indy guy, and he said he had no
plans to run any VTES events at this year's GenCon.

This is disappointing... I had really hoped to play in events at
Gencon this year. I guess I will reconsider my plans now - I would
run events myself, but I don't feel I have the proper experience with
the game to do this. And I don't know if an event could even be
registered at this point - the window is already closed.
Sad...

Against my better judgment, I've submitted an event... I have no idea
if it will be accepted. It's been over 10 years since I ran an event
at Gencon... hope I don't get the same treatment I did the last time.
Better to try than let it slide, I guess... can't play if I run, but
it's better than nothing. If the event is accepted, I hope to see
some friendly faces. :)

Serendipity man, it is an awesome thing. Go look at the recent threads
regarding the US champs and GenCon. So ironic that this happes now.
And welcome back to THE game.....
malk94 still rules. Arika is still the queen of the roost. And the Cam
are still overpowered ;)

Ah... I should have guessed. I've contacted the events group at
Gencon to try to sort things out.

When would they be expected to show on the White Wolf Calendar?

Well, I've had contact with the events organizers at Gencon and they
mentioned that they don't have events from White Wolf yet, but they
expect that WW will send them in eventually. That's good.
But it puts me in an awkward position. :/
I don't know whether to cancel my event or not. I asked for an event
for up to 64 players (hah!) on Saturday night beginning at 6pm... I
would expect to make it a standard format event. Is this likely to
conflict with events that White Wolf will run?
I'm not the best choice as event organizer - I can hardly be
considered a serious, tournament caliber player... but I am very good
at running events. After all, I've helped to run national sporting
championships ... so, I am sure I could try to pull this off.
What do people think... should I keep my event or try to delete it?

Start at 6pm = finish at midnight (assuming no breaks, 2+F).

Keep it. But a realistic number is probably more like 25 or 30.

Yeah, that was expected. Yeah, no breaks. Actually, I was expecting
3 rounds of 2 hours each... so it should probably be 7 or 8 hours to
allow for time between rounds. I'll think about it...

Heck, I guess I'd be surprised if it drew 12. :)
I'm sorry to say I've decided to cancel my event at Gencon. I just
don't feel I can run an event with confidence at this point.
I do look forward to finding other players at the convention and
perhaps enjoying a game or two with them, especially at events that
may be organized by White Wolf.
