I saw an anoucement on facebook about Arcanicon. It would be nice if the announcement was repeated here for everyone to see.
December 7, 2014 at 7:34 pm #265351AnonymousInactiveAny links?
December 7, 2014 at 9:13 pm #265353AnonymousInactiveThis according to Google, at any rate. I don’t use facebook.

December 9, 2014 at 4:22 am #265372AnonymousInactiveThank you, con organizers! I know these things take a lot of effort to put together.
I’ll try to make it, and I look forward to continuing to re-connect with the Arcanis family.

December 9, 2014 at 3:13 pm #265374AnonymousInactiveRoom booked. I’m open to a roommate.
December 13, 2014 at 6:04 pm #265427AnonymousInactiveFor those of us with nice long drives in, what time are we looking at for first slot on friday?
December 13, 2014 at 8:16 pm #265428AnonymousInactiveI have my room and airline tickets. I’ve never attended ArcaniCon previously. What other costs are there for the convention? What kind of schedule should I expect?
December 14, 2014 at 12:16 am #265429AnonymousInactiveAssuming similar to previous runs:
Entry to the Con is about US$20, which covers all your basic con stuff. I’m not sure what food is like around O’Hare (previously flown into Midway), but my experience was the Chicago was rather pricey for food.
As for ‘slots’, usually there is a Soft Point on Friday afternoon, another Saturday morning, and then the interactive in the afternoon. We did a double-Soft Point Friday last year because the Interactive took all day (and what a day it was!). Basically, if you can get in Friday Morning or Thursday evening, it is better, and Sunday is more of a ‘open library’ day.
December 14, 2014 at 9:44 am #265430AnonymousInactive$20.00 sounds dirt cheap. Do we have to pay this to someone in advance, so they’ll know how many players to plan for?
December 14, 2014 at 2:13 pm #265431AnonymousInactiveIt has always been at the Door, but last year they had a finite number of seats.
December 14, 2014 at 10:22 pm #265432AnonymousInactiveAs I recall, there was preregistration that you were coming to the convention last year that required information about the character you planned to play in the interactive. That was advertised here and done at another site online. But payment was at the door.
December 14, 2014 at 11:45 pm #265433AnonymousInactiveWasn’t there last year, any idea what this years interactive might be? As of yet I have no Tier 2 characters since play opportunities have been sparse for my primary since Origins.
December 15, 2014 at 5:06 pm #265434AnonymousInactiveDamn, I just rechecked my cruise dates and they are 7th-14th. I won’t be able to make ArcaniCon this year afterall.
