I hope the collectable auction is still Friday night!! I actually go to Gencon to play games and socialize with people.  Spending all day waiting for the 5-10 items I want to go up for auction just won't happen for me.  If the collectable portion is not scheduled then I can't participate

I read the post from the link finally.

So Larry is running the auction now?

Hopefully they will ask Frank to be an auctioneer. I see that Tom will still be auctioning the train games so as far as I'm concerned it would be detrimental to the auction if Frank isn't there for at least the "collectible" auctions. Some people(myself included) may think twice about putting items in the aution if the knowledgeable auctioneers aren't going to be involved.

Update.

I've had a good phone chat with Jon Huston, and we're tentatively go/green for me to come and auctioneer, primarily collectibles.

Although the GenCon board has not yet assembled its fecal output, and has claimed that Jon and "Bruce Campbell" are running the auction (LOL), Jon and Bruce Carson do seem to be in charge, with Larry Zoet (a good man) as lead auctioneer and head of sales.

As I'm no longer part of management, you'll have to contact Acaeum member renvhoek for details of that sort.

Who's going to GenCon and who can pick up whatever Dungeon Crawl Classic module Goodman is going to have for me?   (I'm paying, naturally.)

I claw at my wrists whenever I think about not asking Blackmoor to get me one last year.

Badmike and I are going.  But I havent seen anything stating that Goodman is going to have a special release this year.  I have heard rumors that they will be releasing DCC 51 Castle Whiterock at GenCon but it is just rumor so far.  And if they do release it I doubt we will be able to pick up any extras since they are retailing for $100.

Last year was unique, only 60 copies :? , it may never happen again.

Over on the Goodman Games boards they've mentioned that they'll have some copies of the Free RPG Day Dungeon Crawl Classic at their Gen Con booth.  A second chance for people who missed it on Free RPG Day, perhaps?

Well if I can get permission I'll try and grab any for those that can't make it. I hope to get a copy of the DCC #51.5 as I missed out from Noble Knight.
As for the box set, I think I'll buy it online...
