Important Subject If You're Going to GenCon
I've been giving some thought to all things GenCon Indy 2024 at the moment, given the convention is just a few days away from starting (and folks are already on their way, and may even be gaming informally already). Thought that I would pass along a simple piece of advice: Remember the 5/3, 2, 1 Rule of GenCon. This means that in every 24 hours, get at least 5 (or 3) hours of sleep a night, 2 meals per day (at least one of them should be hot), and take 1 shower per day. And these are minimums, folks, bare minimums (at least for some people).
Following this basic guideline will keep you alive through the convention, maximize your time for gaming, and allow for the comfort of those with whom you are gaming. Please, please, *please* take a shower and use deodorant, folks. Oh, and no matter what you think, cologne/perfume cannot and does not make up for the lack of showering and being clean.
And here, to put the whole showering thing into perspective, is Savage Gypsy:
That said, given that the ninth wave of the COVID-19 not-a-pandemic is among us, it's important for those physically attending the convention, regardless of whether you're vaccinated or not (but especially if not, and if not, WHY are you going to attend that convention??!!), to take health precautions (such as wearing a mask, practice social distancing when needed, and keep washing your hands). The protocols for COVID-19 are no longer there, but common sense should prevail.
Finally, for those attending the convention... Have a good time, but... Stay safe, and stay healthy. :)
