Considering a double
May. 23rd, 2020 07:56 amGen Con is moving online for this year too. It's where the new Pathfinder Society season gets kicked off every year, so these days I have actual reasons for wanting to attend.
The fact that even the online version is up against Worldcon is a problem, though... OR IS IT?
Gen Con will be running on Central Daylight Time. Worldcon will be on New Zealand time. I'm in the Pacific Time Zone. The bulk of Worldcon programming with start at 3pm my time and run late into the night. I know that sounds absolutely perfect to some of you, but I'm a morning person. In the middle of Northern Hemisphere summer, I'll be waking up before 6am without the aid of an alarm clock.
Gaming all morning and then panels and virtual con suite in the afternoon/evening sounds doable. It wouldn't be the first or even the second time I've been to two conventions simultaneously.
