About a month ago, Cordovan mentioned bringing DDO swag with him...at the very least my husband and I will "crash" the DDO party, and I might come in rather bright hobbit attire if I can find the perfect final accessory on Thursday.

At any rate, I know of at least a couple other LotRO players who'll be at Gen Con...so I hope to see others there! Oh, and this isn't within Gen Con proper, so if you live around Indianapolis, you can still come crash the party. *giggles*
Yes kinda, but the time is not correct. Please do crash the party and say hello! The annual "Friday Night Gathering for Buffs" for DDO peeps at Gen Con will be on Friday night, starting around 8pm-ish. It's been a DDO thing since at least 2007, but is always welcoming of LOTRO players as well. The reality is Gen Con Friday night is a madhouse, and it spills into downtown Indianapolis that evening, so we have to be super-flexible on the exact start time and location. The intention is to be at the Severin Bar, and that's probably where it'll be, but we've learned over the years that sometimes a backup is necessary. There was the year of the Colts thing, and the year of the biker rally....and it looks like a gaming podcast is intending to do a meetup around the same time at the same location, so we'll see how it goes. I intend to try to be in the area around 7:30ish, and will probably hang until after 8ish and see how it goes before making a decision. If we end up being somewhere else, I'll get the word out on Twitter and Facebook (LOTRO official, along with personal). If you want to attend and are super-stuck trying to find me/us, DM me on Twitter.

I do have LOTRO swag! Because I have more swag than I can possibly carry to the meetup, I will have a backpack with stuff in it at the convention itself. So, if you see me wandering around, please feel free to come up and say hello, and I'll get you a quest reward. I've got some hoodies, t-shirts, and a few other goodies. It's all older swag, but if you don't have it, it's new to you.
