I am planning to attend. And I just might run something this year. Probably AS&SH something or other. :-)

Room reserved! One step closer to making it happen. Need to round up mah nerdz and see who wants to go. If I have a large enough group, we'll probably rent a van and make an all-day trip out of it. Think it's about 14 hours.

Reservation already made. I'll have to get new dice, though. These underperformed and led to many outlandish AS&SH deaths at the "hands" of zombies.

It may be that you actually have to call reservations.

I'll be back, and apparently running an off-grid AS&SH game set in Lankhmar, due to demand.

Hopefully I won't have any BS keeping me from half the con next year.

Nice 

Wow, GaryCon 2017 must have been quite the event judging by how early people are scheming for next year.

Me either!

Also, with badge registration opening up, event submission shouldn't be too far behind. Tentatively running the following AS&SH games:

Schedule
Weds 8PM-whenever - Foolsgrave (off grid; Ar'Pharazon, capitalbill, 4/6 remain)

Thurs 2PM-6PM - Death in Every Shadow
Thurs 8PM-whenever - Foolsgrave (off grid; Ar'Pharazon, Druvas, francisca, mordegast, capitalbill, 1/6 remain)

Fri 2PM-6PM - Death in Every Shadow
Fri 8PM-whenever - Foolsgrave (off grid; Ar'Pharazon, Druvas, francisca, mordegast, capitalbill, 1/6 remain)

Sat 9AM-1PM - Crash at Corpse Creek
Sat 2PM-6PM - The Strange Tale of Crystal Point
Sat 8PM-whenever - Foolsgrave

Descriptions
Crash at Corpse Creek. A strange object has fallen from the stars, crashing into the cold, haunted swamp of Corpse Creek. Several curious trappers from a nearby camp went to investigate, but none have returned. The remainder have hired your group to find their friends, but they warn you that Corpse Creek teems with the living dead and that its strange bugs have awakened early from their winter freeze, including some giant varieties never seen before in Hyperborea. A site-based adventure for up to six player characters of levels 3-5.

Death in Every Shadow. Some foul abomination has crawled out of Khromarium's ancient depths, feeding on men, women and children alike. Now it has crept into your uncle's cellar, taken him and disappeared back into the darkness below! Desperate to save your last living relative, or at least preserve your claim on his wealth, you enter the dank undercity, where death lurks in every shadow. A site-based adventure for up to six player characters of levels 1-3.

Foolsgrave. Khromarium's mysterious spiraling towers of black gneiss predate mankind, an ever-present reminder of how strange and alien things once ruled Hyperborea. During the Festival of Plutonia, a sombre commemoration of death, darkness and the all-consuming void, one such tower's impenetrable doors slowly creaked open, admitting anyone brave enough to descend into its depths. Many have entered, but few have returned - some with wealth overflowing, others simply mad, drooling and babbling. Locals now refer to the labyrinth as Foolsgrave. A megadungeon crawl for up to eight player characters of levels 1-3.

The Strange Tale of Crystal Point. In the far reaches of Hyperborea's Crab Archipelago, lies a small, mountainous island known as Crystal Point. Passing sailors have recently seen a crimson glow in Crystal Point's waters, beams of reddish-brown light shining up from its steep cliffs and frequent lightning storms overhead. One famous sage believes Crystal Point may hold the ruins of a lost Atlantean colony - and its secrets! Eager for adventure and treasure, you agreed to explore the island and, after a long journey, have finally set foot on its rocky beach. A site-based adventure for up to six player characters of levels 7-9.

I'm not sure if I'll be running it Friday or Saturday but I'll be running Descent into Krimmea at Gary Con. As I figure out my schedule with the 3 other games I want to run, I'll post here what day/time slot for DiK.

Descent into Krimmea:
Krimmea: The lost underground Kimmerian city that sealed itself from the outside world a thousand years ago when the Green Death ravaged the lands.Recently, Krimmeans have emerged from their city, bringing rare metals, fungi and other goods that are prized in the markets of Khromarium.Your party has been commissioned by a wealthy merchant along with Khromarium's most prominent sage, to explore Krimmea, bringing back information, maps and if possible, goods.

This sounds fun!  What is a site-based adventure specifically?
