    Greetings Steven. Welcome aboard! I was a noob just over a year ago. It goes away quickly.

    I visit central Indiana just once a year for Gen Con in Indianapolis. Cheers!

    Welcome aboard, Steven.

    We're currently living in central Illinois. Where in central Indiana are you? It takes us 2.5 hours at most to get to Indy. We are starting to build a WoG/SoG group here, so day trips in either direction, or mid-point trips, might be quite feasible.

    Hi guys and thanks. I live in Danville, IN, just west of Indianapolis. I'm real familiar with Gen Con Indianapolis as I am a retired Indianapolis Police Officer (30 years), and interacted with them all the time. We never had any problems with the participants.

    Steven,

    We have played at a game store in Urbana-Champaign, probably within an hour and a half from you. We could look if there is a game store by the border, otherwise a simple day trip to Indy or Bloomington (IL) can be done during non-dead-of-winter months.

    Thank you for your service as a cop. My back went out during testing procedures to become a Chicago cop. To this day, the desire to be one is still very strong. It is a great service you folks perform.

    You might plan on attending Gen Con next year if you have time? I expect they'll be doing another Sails of Glory Record Breaker attempt and there are usually at least a couple of Ares Sails of Glory events (which sell out fast btw).

    The Colts had a preseason game this year during Gen Con. It's always interesting to watch the reaction and inter action between the various attendees, but as you said I don't think there's ever been any problem.

    Welcome aboard! I'm in Seattle, but have relatives in Fort Wayne and Avon--last time I was back there was for GenCon 2010, though... I'm hoping I can persuade Ares that having one of their own onshore as "liaison" with the warehouse would be a good idea and that I'm a logical choice for the job. :D
