Major Policy Changes

GM Hotel Rooms

The rules for calculating hotel reimbursement (and complimentary rooms) eligibility for LARPs have changed. Weekend-long LARPs (i.e. continuing over at least 3 days) receive rooms or reimbursement based on the number of players for the smallest night. Individual and one-shot LARPs operate just like any other event.

If you request a room in the GM hotel block and want to reserve the room for more than the 3 nights covered by Gen Con or want to get more rooms than you are eligible for, you must provide a credit card just like you would booking the room directly online.

Refer to the Hotel section for more information.

Renting Event Space

Rental rates for 2008 have been confirmed.

·Boardgame and card game tables are $108 per day or $432 for the weekend.

·Miniatures tables are $116 per day or $464 for the weekend.

·RPG tables are $200 per day or $800 for the weekend.

Room rental rates are determined by how many tables can fit within it.

Refer to the Contracted Event Space (aka Renting Event Space) section for more information.
