Registration has opened for the US Ars Magica convention and our website can be found at us.grandtribunal.net.
Again, the dates are 31 JUL through 2 AUG. Early registration (before 15 APR) costs $35 and $45 for those signing up later. Rooms at the hotel are $99 for single or double occupancy and include a nice continental breakfast as part of the room fee. As a final note, the hotel is close to San Francisco International Airport and transportation to and from the hotel is free. See the website for more details.
Just as a note: uk.grandtribunal.net points over to their website, as a courtesy.
As a final note, if anyone is interested in running a session at the tribunal, we still have room for several more. Please contact me by personal message with details.
A couple of you have tried calling and been told that we do not have a special room rate. This is NOT true. There appears to be an internal communication issue at Marriot since the contract I signed does specify a block of rooms at $99 each.
We are looking into this and I expect it to be resolved shortly. I beg your patience and will update you all when this is squared away.
I am in!
Just made arrangements, and I will be using electronic currency to register over the weekend (well, rather, I am handing cash to a friend who will do it for me).
I still don't know how I will get there or where I will sleep. I was thinking of hitchiking or jumping a train, then camping. That may sound funny to some, but I actually do these sorts of things
If you do, you'll certainly be nominated for the Nick Meredith award for camping in the face of extreme adversity while attending a Grand Tribunal event.
The room rate of $99.00 per night applies to both single and double bed rooms.
It is unnecessary for you to have to camp out in the elements, though the willingness to do so is a heroic one.
I am going to suggest one of our esteemed sodales with a Compassionate or Generous flaw (for I am confident such gentlemen still exist) sign up for a double and help a friend out!
Just a quick update. The communication problem at the hotel has been resolved and they are accepting reservations at our rate of $99 per night (single or double). We have 15 rooms at this rate so sign up quick.
That will be cool
Tentatively I am so far planing to split one with Firth, but he may or may not be bringing someone, so I am unsure as of yet.
Will get bback to you
Ken, if you haven't registered already, I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents. I was a first timer last year, and it was also my first time at a gaming convention, period.
We had a LOT of fun. Really good games were run, some lively discussion was had, there was a cool verditius-design contest, etc. Most of all, it was just great to meet others in the community, and share.
The convention is REALLY REALLY fun, and i encourage you to attend.
