&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2022 Schedule|2022 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2022 Schedule|2022 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The convention is typically held at the Sheraton Westport Chalet, located at 191 W Port Plaza Dr, St. Louis, MO 63146. Below are some nearby shops and other information for visitors. All distances calculated from the host hotel.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2022 Schedule|2022 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The convention is typically held at the Sheraton Westport Chalet, located at 191 W Port Plaza Dr, St. Louis, MO 63146. Below are some nearby shops and other information for visitors. All distances calculated from the host hotel.&lt;br /&gt;

===Who organizes SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2022 Schedule|2022 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2022 Schedule|2022 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Visitor Information==&lt;br /&gt;
The convention is typically held at the Sheraton Westport Chalet, located at 191 W Port Plaza Dr, St. Louis, MO 63146. Below are some nearby shops and other information for visitors. All distances calculated from the host hotel.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2022 Schedule|2022 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The convention is typically held at the Sheraton Westport Chalet, located at 191 W Port Plaza Dr, St. Louis, MO 63146. Below are some nearby shops and other information for visitors. All distances calculated from the host hotel.&lt;br /&gt;

===Who organizes SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2022 Schedule|2022 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Frequently Asked Questions==&lt;br /&gt;
===How much does SimuCon cost?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See details about the IndieGoGo campaign below!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I sign up?===&lt;br /&gt;
Sign-up is usually initiated by the GM organizing SimuCon and details are released closer to the event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2022 Schedule|2022 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Frequently Asked Questions==&lt;br /&gt;
===How much does SimuCon cost?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cost and sign-up information will be available soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I sign up?===&lt;br /&gt;
Sign-up is usually initiated by the GM organizing SimuCon and details are released closer to the event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2022 Schedule|2022 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The convention is typically held at the Sheraton Westport Chalet, located at 191 W Port Plaza Dr, St. Louis, MO 63146. Below are some nearby shops and other information for visitors. All distances calculated from the host hotel.&lt;br /&gt;

==Frequently Asked Questions==&lt;br /&gt;
===How much does SimuCon cost?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cost and sign-up information will be available soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I sign up?===&lt;br /&gt;
Sign-up is usually initiated by the GM organizing SimuCon and details are released closer to the event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2022 Schedule|2022 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Frequently Asked Questions==&lt;br /&gt;
===How much does SimuCon cost?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cost and sign-up information will be available soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I sign up?===&lt;br /&gt;
Sign-up is usually initiated by the GM organizing SimuCon and details are released closer to the event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2022 Schedule|2022 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The convention is typically held at the Sheraton Westport Chalet, located at 191 W Port Plaza Dr, St. Louis, MO 63146. Below are some nearby shops and other information for visitors. All distances calculated from the host hotel.&lt;br /&gt;

==Indiegogo Campaign==&lt;br /&gt;
The annual Indiegogo Campaign&#039;s purpose is to fund expenses for SimuCon, and all funds raised are used for the direct support of the convention. Any funds raised beyond the original goal are used for additional perks such as extra snacks and prizes for attendees.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently no campaign link is available, but will likely be available in early June.&lt;br /&gt;

==Frequently Asked Questions==&lt;br /&gt;
===How much does SimuCon cost?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cost and sign-up information will be available soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I sign up?===&lt;br /&gt;
Sign-up is usually initiated by the GM organizing SimuCon and details are released closer to the event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2022 Schedule|2022 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Frequently Asked Questions==&lt;br /&gt;
===How much does SimuCon cost?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cost and sign-up information will be available soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I sign up?===&lt;br /&gt;
Sign-up is usually initiated by the GM organizing SimuCon and details are released closer to the event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2022 Schedule|2022 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Frequently Asked Questions==&lt;br /&gt;
===How much does SimuCon cost?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cost and sign-up information will be available soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I sign up?===&lt;br /&gt;
Sign-up is usually initiated by the GM organizing SimuCon and details are released closer to the event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2022 Schedule|2022 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Frequently Asked Questions==&lt;br /&gt;
===How much does SimuCon cost?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cost and sign-up information will be available soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I sign up?===&lt;br /&gt;
Sign-up is usually initiated by the GM organizing SimuCon and details are released closer to the event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2022 Schedule|2022 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The convention is typically held at the Sheraton Westport Chalet, located at 191 W Port Plaza Dr, St. Louis, MO 63146. Below are some nearby shops and other information for visitors. All distances calculated from the host hotel.&lt;br /&gt;

==Indiegogo Campaign==&lt;br /&gt;
The annual Indiegogo Campaign&#039;s purpose is to fund expenses for SimuCon, and all funds raised are used for the direct support of the convention. Any funds raised beyond the original goal are used for additional perks such as extra snacks and prizes for attendees.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently no campaign link is available, but will likely be available in early June.&lt;br /&gt;

==Frequently Asked Questions==&lt;br /&gt;
===How much does SimuCon cost?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cost and sign-up information will be available soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I sign up?===&lt;br /&gt;
Sign-up is usually initiated by the GM organizing SimuCon and details are released closer to the event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2022 Schedule|2022 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The convention is typically held at the Sheraton Westport Chalet, located at 191 W Port Plaza Dr, St. Louis, MO 63146. Below are some nearby shops and other information for visitors. All distances calculated from the host hotel.&lt;br /&gt;

==Frequently Asked Questions==&lt;br /&gt;
===How much does SimuCon cost?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cost and sign-up information will be available soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I sign up?===&lt;br /&gt;
Sign-up is usually initiated by the GM organizing SimuCon and details are released closer to the event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2022 Schedule|2022 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The convention is typically held at the Sheraton Westport Chalet, located at 191 W Port Plaza Dr, St. Louis, MO 63146. Below are some nearby shops and other information for visitors. All distances calculated from the host hotel.&lt;br /&gt;

Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Frequently Asked Questions==&lt;br /&gt;
===How much does SimuCon cost?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cost and sign-up information will be available soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I sign up?===&lt;br /&gt;
Sign-up is usually initiated by the GM organizing SimuCon and details are released closer to the event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2022 Schedule|2022 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The convention is typically held at the Sheraton Westport Chalet, located at 191 W Port Plaza Dr, St. Louis, MO 63146. Below are some nearby shops and other information for visitors. All distances calculated from the host hotel.&lt;br /&gt;

==Indiegogo Campaign==&lt;br /&gt;
The annual Indiegogo Campaign&#039;s purpose is to fund expenses for SimuCon, and all funds raised are used for the direct support of the convention. Any funds raised beyond the original goal are used for additional perks such as extra snacks and prizes for attendees.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently no campaign link is available, but will likely be available in early June.&lt;br /&gt;

==Frequently Asked Questions==&lt;br /&gt;
===How much does SimuCon cost?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cost and sign-up information will be available soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I sign up?===&lt;br /&gt;
Sign-up is usually initiated by the GM organizing SimuCon and details are released closer to the event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2022 Schedule|2022 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The convention is typically held at the Sheraton Westport Chalet, located at 191 W Port Plaza Dr, St. Louis, MO 63146. Below are some nearby shops and other information for visitors. All distances calculated from the host hotel.&lt;br /&gt;

==Frequently Asked Questions==&lt;br /&gt;
===How much does Simucon cost?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon is free! However, Simucon operates entirely on donations from attendees via the annual [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]]. This campaign is optional, but it allows attendees to select from several fun perks that may enhance their Simucon experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I sign up?===&lt;br /&gt;
By now you should have received an email from the [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]] asking you for additional registration details. If you did not receive this email, please reach out to GM Palvella.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you did not select an Indiegogo perk, you do not need to complete the registration form. You can register for Simucon on-site when you arrive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes Simucon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a Simucon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2019 Schedule|2019 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend Simucon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is Simucon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. Simucon is strictly BYOB.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Family friendly costumes are encouraged, and there is often a costume event included in the schedule. In general, however, attendees come in casual / comfortable attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official Simucon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages, and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Frequently Asked Questions==&lt;br /&gt;
===How much does Simucon cost?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon is free! However, Simucon operates entirely on donations from attendees via the annual [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]]. This campaign is optional, but it allows attendees to select from several fun perks that may enhance their Simucon experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I sign up?===&lt;br /&gt;
By now you should have received an email from the [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]] asking you for additional registration details. If you did not receive this email, please reach out to GM Palvella.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you did not select an Indiegogo perk, you do not need to complete the registration form. You can register for Simucon on-site when you arrive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes Simucon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a Simucon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2019 Schedule|2019 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend Simucon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is Simucon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. Simucon is strictly BYOB.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Family friendly costumes are encouraged, and there is often a costume event included in the schedule. In general, however, attendees come in casual / comfortable attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official Simucon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages, and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Frequently Asked Questions==&lt;br /&gt;
===How much does Simucon cost?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon is free! However, Simucon operates entirely on donations from attendees via the annual [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]]. This campaign is optional, but it allows attendees to select from several fun perks that may enhance their Simucon experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I sign up?===&lt;br /&gt;
By now you should have received an email from the [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]] asking you for additional registration details. If you did not receive this email, please reach out to GM Palvella.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you did not select an Indiegogo perk, you do not need to complete the registration form. You can register for Simucon on-site when you arrive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes Simucon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a Simucon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2019 Schedule|2019 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend Simucon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is Simucon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. Simucon is strictly BYOB.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Family friendly costumes are encouraged, and there is often a costume event included in the schedule. In general, however, attendees come in casual / comfortable attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official Simucon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages, and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Frequently Asked Questions==&lt;br /&gt;
===How much does Simucon cost?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon is free! However, Simucon operates entirely on donations from attendees via the annual [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]]. This campaign is optional, but it allows attendees to select from several fun perks that may enhance their Simucon experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I sign up?===&lt;br /&gt;
By now you should have received an email from the [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]] asking you for additional registration details. If you did not receive this email, please reach out to GM Palvella.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you did not select an Indiegogo perk, you do not need to complete the registration form. You can register for Simucon on-site when you arrive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes Simucon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a Simucon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2019 Schedule|2019 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend Simucon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is Simucon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. Simucon is strictly BYOB.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Family friendly costumes are encouraged, and there is often a costume event included in the schedule. In general, however, attendees come in casual / comfortable attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official Simucon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages, and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Frequently Asked Questions==&lt;br /&gt;
===How much does Simucon cost?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon is free! However, Simucon operates entirely on donations from attendees via the annual [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]]. This campaign is optional, but it allows attendees to select from several fun perks that may enhance their Simucon experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I sign up?===&lt;br /&gt;
By now you should have received an email from the [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]] asking you for additional registration details. If you did not receive this email, please reach out to GM Palvella.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you did not select an Indiegogo perk, you do not need to complete the registration form. You can register for Simucon on-site when you arrive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes Simucon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a Simucon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2019 Schedule|2019 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend Simucon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is Simucon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. Simucon is strictly BYOB.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Family friendly costumes are encouraged, and there is often a costume event included in the schedule. In general, however, attendees come in casual / comfortable attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official Simucon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages, and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Frequently Asked Questions==&lt;br /&gt;
===How much does Simucon cost?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon is free! However, Simucon operates entirely on donations from attendees via the annual [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]]. This campaign is optional, but it allows attendees to select from several fun perks that may enhance their Simucon experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I sign up?===&lt;br /&gt;
By now you should have received an email from the [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]] asking you for additional registration details. If you did not receive this email, please reach out to GM Palvella.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you did not select an Indiegogo perk, you do not need to complete the registration form. You can register for Simucon on-site when you arrive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes Simucon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a Simucon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2019 Schedule|2019 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend Simucon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is Simucon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. Simucon is strictly BYOB.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Family friendly costumes are encouraged, and there is often a costume event included in the schedule. In general, however, attendees come in casual / comfortable attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official Simucon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages, and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon is free! However, Simucon operates entirely on donations from attendees via the annual [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]]. This campaign is optional, but it allows attendees to select from several fun perks that may enhance their Simucon experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is Simucon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. Simucon is strictly BYOB.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Family friendly costumes are encouraged, and there is often a costume event included in the schedule. In general, however, attendees come in casual / comfortable attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official Simucon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages, and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Frequently Asked Questions==&lt;br /&gt;
===How much does Simucon cost?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon is free! However, Simucon operates entirely on donations from attendees via the annual [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]]. This campaign is optional, but it allows attendees to select from several fun perks that may enhance their Simucon experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I sign up?===&lt;br /&gt;
By now you should have received an email from the [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]] asking you for additional registration details. If you did not receive this email, please reach out to GM Palvella.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you did not select an Indiegogo perk, you do not need to complete the registration form. You can register for Simucon on-site when you arrive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes Simucon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a Simucon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2019 Schedule|2019 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend Simucon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is Simucon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. Simucon is strictly BYOB.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Family friendly costumes are encouraged, and there is often a costume event included in the schedule. In general, however, attendees come in casual / comfortable attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official Simucon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages, and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

If you did not select an Indiegogo perk, you do not need to complete the registration form. You can register for Simucon on-site when you arrive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes Simucon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a Simucon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2019 Schedule|2019 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend Simucon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is Simucon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. Simucon is strictly BYOB.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Family friendly costumes are encouraged, and there is often a costume event included in the schedule. In general, however, attendees come in casual / comfortable attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official Simucon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages, and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Frequently Asked Questions==&lt;br /&gt;
===How much does Simucon cost?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon is free! However, Simucon operates entirely on donations from attendees via the annual [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]]. This campaign is optional, but it allows attendees to select from several fun perks that may enhance their Simucon experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I sign up?===&lt;br /&gt;
By now you should have received an email from the [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]] asking you for additional registration details. If you did not receive this email, please reach out to GM Palvella.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you did not select an Indiegogo perk, you do not need to complete the registration form. You can register for Simucon on-site when you arrive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes Simucon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a Simucon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2019 Schedule|2019 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend Simucon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is Simucon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. Simucon is strictly BYOB.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Family friendly costumes are encouraged, and there is often a costume event included in the schedule. In general, however, attendees come in casual / comfortable attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official Simucon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages, and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Simucon is free! However, Simucon operates entirely on donations from attendees via the annual [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]]. This campaign is optional, but it allows attendees to select from several fun perks that may enhance their Simucon experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I sign up?===&lt;br /&gt;
By now you should have received an email from the [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]] asking you for additional registration details. If you did not receive this email, please reach out to GM Palvella.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you did not select an Indiegogo perk, you do not need to complete the registration form. You can register for Simucon on-site when you arrive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes Simucon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a Simucon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2019 Schedule|2019 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend Simucon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is Simucon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. Simucon is strictly BYOB.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Family friendly costumes are encouraged, and there is often a costume event included in the schedule. In general, however, attendees come in casual / comfortable attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official Simucon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages, and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Note&#039;&#039;&#039;: Some perks are for DragonRealms players only. Please ensure you select a Gemstone perk for Gemstone-related content.&lt;br /&gt;

==Frequently Asked Questions==&lt;br /&gt;
===How much does Simucon cost?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon is free! However, Simucon operates entirely on donations from attendees via the annual [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]]. This campaign is optional, but it allows attendees to select from several fun perks that may enhance their Simucon experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I sign up?===&lt;br /&gt;
By now you should have received an email from the [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]] asking you for additional registration details. If you did not receive this email, please reach out to GM Palvella.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you did not select an Indiegogo perk, you do not need to complete the registration form. You can register for Simucon on-site when you arrive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes Simucon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a Simucon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2019 Schedule|2019 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend Simucon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is Simucon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. Simucon is strictly BYOB.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Family friendly costumes are encouraged, and there is often a costume event included in the schedule. In general, however, attendees come in casual / comfortable attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official Simucon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages, and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

===How much does Simucon cost?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon is free! However, Simucon operates entirely on donations from attendees via the annual [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]]. This campaign is optional, but it allows attendees to select from several fun perks that may enhance their Simucon experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I sign up?===&lt;br /&gt;
By now you should have received an email from the [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]] asking you for additional registration details. If you did not receive this email, please reach out to GM Palvella.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you did not select an Indiegogo perk, you do not need to complete the registration form. You can register for Simucon on-site when you arrive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who organizes Simucon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is it like to attend a Simucon?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2019 Schedule|2019 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How many people attend Simucon and when do they show up?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simucon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What equipment should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I need a car?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don&#039;t forget to bring cash for a tip!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is Simucon family friendly?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the weather typically like?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri is nicknamed &amp;quot;Misery&amp;quot; for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. Simucon is strictly BYOB.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I wear?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Family friendly costumes are encouraged, and there is often a costume event included in the schedule. In general, however, attendees come in casual / comfortable attire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a pool?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official Simucon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages, and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Note&#039;&#039;&#039;: Some perks are for DragonRealms players only. Please ensure you select a Gemstone perk for Gemstone-related content.&lt;br /&gt;
