IMO the melt table and metal trade option is one of the things that makes Reapercon different and special.  Nobody else does that and it's always a major part of my con experience to shop at the factory. 

I agree.

I don't understand the 'assign it to a name' part?  We have a single growtix account, and we used it to get 3 VIP tickets under different names.  We were eventually able to reserve one slot for one game (Friday's Crypt session!) but we can't figure out how to reserve a second seat?  It doesn't matter whose order confirmation we use, they all see the Countess as the only GrowTix account holder, so it keeps kicking us out and saying "you are already registered for this game."  Very frustrating, as we weren't even able to get a single seat for the Thursday night session that Randy is running... 

 

Do we have to create multiple GrowTix accounts?

 

Thanks!

I am having this same problem. My husband and I both have separate GrowTix accounts. One of the VIP tickets that I purchased is assigned to him, includes his email address, but it won't let him sign up for games, and it won't let me get another seat at the game. I have no idea what to do now.

I agree as well. I use the bits I buy as an inventory for conversions.  I'm well stocked on fantasy bits, but I've got a new Traveller campaign starting in September and was hoping to stock up on sci-fi bits this time around.

I got a response the other day:

 

“There is not a way for a single account to sign up for multiple spots in the gaming module... I can, however, reduce the seat totals for the game you guys would like to play together and let the DM/GM know in advance. ”

 

So, it sounds like going through the questions line is the workaround.  Hopefully they’ll be enough games running to keep everyone involved!

Wasn’t there a thing with there not being a melt table at last ReaperCon? I’d forgotten my scrap so it never made the journey and I tuned it out. 

 

They confirmed that there will no longer be Boneyard shopping at the new factory.   Melt table will still be at the con, you can trade what you bring for what others bring.  Some limited cast-on-demand will be available for items not in the Store.  Ed said there were about 30 people with credit and they would find some way to allow them to use it. 

 

In other news, the Meet-n-Greet tickets will get you Rudy's BBQ at the factory this year, and will be available for purchase separately. Not included in the VIP bundle.  More info on swag bags and Reapercon minis "soon".

 Seperate from other food being served for the MnG? I think the recent Cons MnG was always a seperate ticket, but it included the meal.

 

Sucks to hear about the melt table. R.I.P.

At least they are doing something for the existing credit holder, thou it better be a decent compromise.

As I understood it, the M-n-G is going to be at Reaper HQ this year, not the hotel.  There will not be other food, there will only be BBQ at the factory, like the old days.   No mention was made of anything going on at the hotel Wed night.  

 

More info coming next week.

I've heard for quite awhile about having it at HQ, most likely at the remodeled Game store, just nothing was confirmed.

 

Good to hear about Rudy's too, last time I had that was 2018 at the hotel. I had Rastl bring me some as she was coming back from Reaper HQ that year. I was running a late night slot.

I talked to Michael at [email protected] and he was able to transfer a vip ticket over to my husband's growtix account so that he could sign up for games on his account. Hope they can help you!

Thanks for the update on the melt table Inarah! I’ll just toss all this scrap tin in the trash since it’s just not worth hauling on a flight. 

 

Yah it sucks about the metal trade. I have a few in the strip stew that I was gonna get around to cleaning up before this year's Con (forgot about them last year). It would have been nice to have a better announcement, say this is the last year we are doing the melt trade this way, next year we are doing it differently, kinda thing vs how it's been announced. (which tbh, really hasn't been talked about). I guess someone might get lucky in the Box of Goodwill tour someday.

 

TBH, I'm not sure why Reaper bothers with metal anymore, it doesn't appear to be a top priority.

It’s ironic that you say that about metal not being a priority because I was recently realizing how much more I like the plastic. This week I had to play with a Bones kenku and a metal miniature at two different game sessions. Using the Bones figure I never once was worried about the paint or the figure at the table. The metal one however, I felt like I constantly had to be on guard about protecting and making sure someone didn’t bend a sword, or break off an arm on accident.
