So... who's ready for ReaperCon 2019?

My understanding id that you should print them, @EvilCleric.

Arrrrgh!  Got about an hour away and had to turn back. Didn’t forget anything, wife wanted me to leave out after tonight’s scout meeting. They forgot I wasn’t going to be there tonight. Gonna be leaving stupid early in the morning. Debating on driving straight through, or take the scenic route and arrive Wednesday in the late afternoon. 

Either way, just be safe and make sure you're well rested.

I think I only printed my class ticket, so I'll have to QR my VIP on my phone.  It's listed as two different orders so I though choosing print one code for all products combined everything.  But maybe... not ?

 

I dunno.  I just know I hate this growtix system because every step of it is a confusing uphill fight.

Agree.

• Prep Class minis.
• Paint and base example mini.
• Write and print class notes.
• Pack clothes for the outdoor sauna that is Denton in August.
• Finish at least one real entry for the painting contest (maybe). (I'll probably enter an Ed sculpt and an ordnance mini that I painted a while ago, but those are kind of not real entries.)
• Change oil.
• Fill the car with gas.
• Buy trip snacks.
• Print QR codes. (Printed the three codes from the page noted in my reg. confirmation. Hope those are the ones I need.)
• Select subset of miniatures stuff to bring. I definitely don't need all the paints* and supplies, but I'm not looking forward to picking out which are my favorites.
• Get my camera gear together, including the stuff needed for bird photography and the photography class.
• Decide on which poor choice of time to leave for Denton. Cheryl has to work tomorrow, so we can't leave until she gets home. And we want to be in Denton by mid-afternoon. So we can leave at 6-ish and get to Denton too early to get a room for several hours (or stop at a hotel for a few hours of sleep, but only a very few hours of sleep), leave at around midnight after a short nap (maybe) and get to Denton at a reasonable time, or leave at 0230(!) after a longer nap and get to Denton around 4:30. These all kind of suck.

* A sentiment never before seen on these boards.

Thank you @Chaoswolf. I'm just going to print everything. 

 

See you all in T-2 days!

QR number?! You mean the print-outs with the weird scan blocks isn't good enough? Good to know that now, since I am getting on the road in the morning. I have a huge stack of stuff I have printed, but not seeing anything with a QR number on it. Got to look again. Nice to know that people putting out information take it for granted that everyone watches Reaper live :(

 

The QR thing is the strange jumble of a square.  You should be good to go!

I wanted to print all my tickets but with no printer and no public library conveniently located I haven't been able to I'll have to see what I can do. Last year was easy I just had our 2 passes this year ive got ours and 2 friends (one of which can't make it), plus class tickets and extra pizza dungeon passes for them

Excellent, feeling much better now. Thank you!

Well, having only heard about ReaperCon ~4 weeks ago, I feel like I'm scrambling to pack! 

 

 

Is there anything that I absolutely must bring with me from good ol' Seattle that would make things better/easier/more enjoyable while there? Of course I'll be bringing brushes for classes, but anything else folks recommend? 

 

Looking forward to see everyone this week!

Utah is weird and hot and has really interesting terrain. So far, Shiny!Ma'al has behaved, and not attempted chicken hut for snax...

[Crowley 94523]

Bah, double post and ninja'd 

 

Okay, alternate base for Paint it Pink sculpted. 

Diorama is just about done, and the box is ready for it. Need some glue and a few spots of touch up paint...

Bombshell babe is... unchanged.

Wizard & familiar and Ogre are all ready. 

Suitcase test pack went well

Emergency kit ready

Print out things are printed

Megadungeon stuff ready to go

 

What am I forgetting...

If you can get to them via phone you should be good.

There's a whole thread (or three) on what to expect/bring to the con. Your basic personal needs, class materials (note book and pencil, for example) snacks, camera, cash/credit card....

Try it some time when you actually have time to wander around. Its collection of amazing scenery is unsurpassed*. I love trips to and through Utah.

 

* Possibly equaled by Colorado and/or Oregon.

Mr. Thorne got a few pics, no idea if any of them are useful.

I was passenger for all the really boring bits, but I did get a couple of shots that weren't terrible. Ish.

My wife and I arrived Saturday night. We've been doing touristy stuff and looking at the housing market.....but on the way to dinner we saw the room getting set up as well as a room full of goodie bags so it's starting to feel real!

 

The hotel is still wonderful, and now there is an IHOP and a cool bowling place (think snazzy Brunswick Zone) next door. Woo-hoo!

 

It was 96-99 degrees yesterday depending on which thermometer you looked at. It was hot but not quite as bad as a 90ish degree day near the Great Lakes. "Dry heat" is a thing!

So I spent tonight finishing up the repairs to Mrs Wulf's car so I can trust shell be able to get around when I take one up to Denton for the weekend, and tidying the garage so there's no heavy lifting needed to get to the breaker panel, then doing the base for my Bombshell mini and completely neglected to do any packing whatsoever. So tomorrow's going to be the stressful last minute packing things
