Origins 2022Origins 2022You'd think I'd have learned by now.....
The Origins website states that "Upcoming shows will be held at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. See you there!", with buttons underneath labeled with the dates for the 2022 and 2023 shows. Sucker that I am, I clicked on the button labeled "June 8-12, 2022", expecting to be taken to a page with information on the 2022 con (I was hoping for dates when badges might be on sale). Instead, I was taken to the badge registration page for the 2021 con. ::sighs::: Fingers crossed that the 2022 show is actually going to happen this year.
Re: Origins 2022Well, the GenCon event reg is in just a few days (Sunday to be specific) and I have all 3 shots (probably 4 by the time GC rolls around, AND have a room registered already...)
Re: Origins 2022Hey, quick Origins "fun fact".
Back in 1977, Origins called their gaming awards: The "Charlie" Awards. I'm not saying they knew who was the man back then but... I don't mind growing old... but I hate growing up.
Re: Origins 2022They're going with a new registration system this year, according to the email I just got.
"He used the Force!"
"Yeah, mass times acceleration!"
Re: Origins 2022If the year ends in a number, Origins changes their system.

Re: Origins 2022
Should I feel bad that I didn't get an email? (And the website still links the 2022 dates to the 2021 registration page....) Not that I'm anxious/borderline obsessed about attending this year or anything....
Re: Origins 2022Tgis is why I never look at the registration for events. Too frustrating.

Re: Origins 2022
I didn't get an e-mail either. Maybe 'cause I didn't go last year? "You're still mad at me about that whole 'gun-pointing' thing, aren't you?" -- Fortunato Valeri
And here's where I try to be a writer...
Re: Origins 2022
Well, that makes me feel a little better about it.
Re: Origins 2022Pretty sure we are on a watch list, however. Probably titled "known to associate with Thawk" or "Megaparanoia adjacent".

Re: Origins 2022Their method of announcement was through Facebook
Re: Origins 2022According to what I've seen on Facebook, it looks like event submission is supposed to start on January 15th, but there was no information on badge registration. It also sounds like they are in the process of updating the website.
On a side note, I went ahead and booked my hotel - gotta love those hotel program points!
Re: Origins 2022So, the website appears to have been updated, with event submission starting January 15th. It also indicates that event registration will open on May 21st. There is no mention whatsoever of badge registration, and the "Attend/Get a Badge" link still takes you to the registration page from last September.
And I still have't received any response to the email I sent last Friday, asking for information on badge registration....
Re: Origins 2022Actually got an email from Origins advising the event submission was live, and when I clicked on the Tabletop Events link, it looks like badge registration will be live on February 5th.
Re: Origins 2022My Origins email is dated 1/15 and 11:59 AM.

Re: Origins 2022From the Origins Facebook site:
Origins will be requiring proof of vaccination and masks for the convention. The full policy will be on our website before badge registration opens February 5.

Re: Origins 2022Are we to have a Heroes of Altamira Club Discount for Origins?
Re: Origins 2022Badge purchased. Apparently I had credit on my account, so that was nice. Whole process took less than five minutes.

Re: Origins 2022Is the Guild of San Marcos getting a club discount?
Re: Origins 2022
When did the credit show up? I should have a credit (for the refund from my 2021 badge purchases), but I did not see it on TTE. I sent an email to GAMA, but am not holding my breath for a response.
Re: Origins 2022Badge purchased, with the credit from last year. Though I may be developing a bit of a complex - the response I got this morning was that an email went out Saturday morning to anyone with a credit that included the code to get the credit. I never got the email.....
All's well that ends well, I guess.
Re: Origins 2022
We will, sent in the stuff a couple of weeks ago, BUT as usual if you purchase the badge now (you know so you can buy events) you will not get a refund...
Re: Origins 2022Oh so fun story. I am bringing Don along with me this year (our artist). He asked me about rooms and stuff and it occurred to me that I had not gotten a room this year. Went to get them via Origins' website, and guess what? They're still set up for LAST YEAR!!! So, remember that if you are looking for a room and remember to get a room if you haven't already.
