Can't make it, that's my busiest work week.

Already blocked the time off in my work calendar. Now I wait to see if Pride or some other big-enough-for-my-wife's-job event ends up the same weekend. I think that's the weekend they'll be doing Pride?

[Martok]

Hmm... 

[bob48]

I suspect that it will be beyond my means................

we're gonna start a GoFundMe

I would literally love to.

It's my 30th Wedding Anniversary next year - maybe I could persuade the wife to have a holiday in....where again?

Columbus, OH is not much of a garden spot, but there are plenty of other places in the US we're going to but you can easily get to and from Columbus while you're there

[BanzaiCat]

Like I said yesterday, I'll try. It depends on financials and I won't be entirely clear on that until early next year.

Third World War from Compass (big-ass rolling scenario)

Salerno '43 from GMT Games

PanzerBlitz with the PicoArmor guys

Undaunted with David Thompson

a whole bunch of stuff from Catastrophe Games

Littoral Commander w/ Sebastian Bae

Song For War: Mediterranean Theater w/ Invictus Rex

maybe an ASL tournament?

plus the CPX's and more

Anyone else planning on heading to Origins this Summer?

I could use another GM or two for the wargaming program.  Just PM me when you get a sec and I can talk details with you, but I have a very short timeline to get the finalized schedule in

Announced today

Origins 2023 Mask & Covid Vaccine Policy
Origins Game Fair is not requiring masks or proof of covid vaccination to attend Origins this year. However, please be aware that if either the Centers for Disease Control or state/local governmental organizations require us to change this policy, we will do so to comply with governmental rules.

No arguing about this, explicitly or implicitly.

It's provided here for your information, not as an invitation for commentary

Recognizing that it's still about 10 weeks away, it appears that I will be at Origins and likely Wednesday thru Sunday. When might a rough even calendar show up? And is there anything in particular you need a hand with?

[bayonetbrant]

waiting on our event to get approved!  (and we're not the only ones, either)

we've even submitted our table layout this year, which ought to help with the setup time, too

If I don't see anything by end of this week, I'm just going to post what we submitted, and figure it's likely to get approved en masse, since they've yet to turn down an event from us
