haldir 42398 Report post Posted September 7, 2020 Hey someone had to put it up. At this time, I'm just hoping for a in person Con & things going around the world are back to some semblance of normalcy. 15 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crowley 104294 Report post Posted September 7, 2020 That would be really nice... Not super likely that I'll be able to go next year, but there's always hope. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gmvader 1058 Report post Posted September 7, 2020 I actually liked the virtual con quite a bit. I was able to take all the classes I wanted without them filling up and I could see what the instructor was doing reasonably well. I miss the MSP Open and hobby hijinks etc. but I think some aspects of this virtual one were better. I’m kind of hoping for a more hybrid approach in the future... 10 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They've tried a hybrid at the hotel & at the factory & it was a major PiTA to get to events. 4 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShadowRaven 55968 Report post Posted September 8, 2020 Odds are not in favour of me ever returning to Reapercon. So I am hopeful there is still a reasonable online presence in the years ahead, but having been there the once, I fully understand and share your hopes for next year and all the years after. I will forever miss meeting and being a part of everything with everyone, and want everyone to have the chance to enjoy that experience again. 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loim 17807 Report post Posted September 8, 2020 While I hope for some normalcy next year, or as close to normal as we are likely able to get, I expect it will be less and less likely I'll be able to make the trip to Texas. Not complaining, but with everything going on in my life it's harder and harder to get away every year. Also kudos to all the instructors and everyone who dumped all the time into making this work. 8 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sylverthorne 22958 Report post Posted September 12, 2020 I had a Brilliant Idea for a class somebody could teach. Painting Ordinance (tanks, vehicles, 'mechs. ..) - probably for people like me for whom the logic doesn't want to go there. ... and now, I wait, with varying degrees of patience, for next year. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There have been classes in that general theme before. This might be something to request from Greg Zuniga or Aaron Lovejoy. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
