If anyone didn't receive an email with their discount code for a GM Credit for registration (starting today), please let me know here in a personal message or via email.
You feel free to email me anything you want, man. I can't guarantee you'll get a GM-discount out of it.
Since, i cannot get a Gold badge (my attendance next year was based on getting one) and use my GM Credit What is the status with the GM refunds?
GMB -- reach out to me directly, and we'll work something out. If you still wanted to attend, you could apply the credit toward a silver badge, but if that's not in the cards, please reach out.
Jarlaxle, I would only be able to register for one game, I ran so many events that I can only use GP. Plus, the swag bag includes cups and the con shirt It is a large commitment for me with planning the games, printing, and the long drive out from Philly... I really was not planning on going but my friend said he would drive out next year, of course, this is the same person who left me to drive alone this year because he decided to fly
Gold doesn't seem to be a good fit for you. If you are only going to register for one game, you would not need the additional featured game slot, and the shirt and cup you can buy separately. Get the silver and go to Gary Con. I had fun playing in one of your Toon games and would recommend you as a GM. If you choose not to make the trip, Gary Con will be minus a number of good games and a very enthusiastic GM, and be the poorer for it. I understand the commitment and the expense required to make the trip, and if you feel it is not feasible to come out to Wisconsin for those reasons, nobody can fault you for that. I would hate to see having to "settle" for a silver badge instead of gold be the thing that pushes it beyond the tipping point.
Scott308, thanks for the kind words, I do enjoy running games and had some great ideas for the next Garycon... I do not have a reliable person to share the ride and driving home was miserable after the con I know it is hard to understand, but the gold badge was the tipping point. I still did not get reimbursed as was offered. It is all about the swag bag and the earlier registration, I was unable to get into the top 3 games on my list last year (I did get to play an NPC in one of them after begging the GM) and the last GP I selected later was tons of fun
