We can't decide on a value for something for you.

Do you want to go? Then go. If you don't want to go or think it may not be worth the money--then don't go.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385417/3114762.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385417/3114762.page GMT Is gamesday worth the money

I suspect Kan,that the OP is simply attempting to get others points of view based on their experiences with gamesday events so that he can make a more informed decision as to weather of not to go.
...Sort of like asking someone if a film is any good....or what the food at a restaurant is like.

It's not a loaded question to ask for other opinions before making a decision.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385417/3114827.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385417/3114827.page GMT Is gamesday worth the money

Then it's better to ask "Is it worth the time?" not "Is it worth the money?", in my opinion.

If you have to choose between a 10 hour trip and buying a ticket at the door v. a local tournament--the local tournament wins, every time.

If you make the plans in advance to go, and not just go solely for Games Day--it's a much more enjoyable experience.

I can say right now, if I had gone to just Games Day Baltimore for a few years...I would have regretted it every time. But planning to go to Baltimore's aquarium, then Annapolis and the Naval Academy, and all the other activities in/around Baltimore--it made the experience by and large more memorable.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385417/3114838.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385417/3114838.page GMT Is gamesday worth the money

Agreed, any "gaming related" trip that involves traveling more than a few hours from your location should include other "non gaming" activities..this way even if your gaming experience is a wash, you can still enjoy the rest of the trip.
Now, speaking for myself...I no longer bother with traveling for gaming events ( never appealed to me that much to begin with), so personaly Gamesday wouldn't be " worth it".]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385417/3114878.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385417/3114878.page GMT Re:Is gamesday worth the money
For someone new to the hobby, it's definitely worth it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385417/3115360.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385417/3115360.page GMT Re:Is gamesday worth the money http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385417/3116559.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385417/3116559.page GMT Re:Is gamesday worth the money UK one is just a big shop with kids who stink]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385417/3116728.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385417/3116728.page GMT Is gamesday worth the money FW direct. Plus im nosey and I like to get a proper look at whats coming out from FW/WF in the next year and talk to the guys doing the making and designing, I also like to get books signed from the BL authors. I go with my 2 best friends so we always have a laugh whatever happens I prob wouldnt go if they didnt though.

In summary; Go if you wanna pick up some FW/WF bits, Go if you have mates to go with, I do recommend entering Golden daemon competition as it gets you into the hall earlier ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385417/3116958.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385417/3116958.page GMT Is gamesday worth the money UK, it allows for hour early entry into golden demon and other licensed stuff halls. This includes talking with all the expert painters about anything and most gw 'celebrities' will be in these halls. If you've never been before then it's worth going.

But, like others said; if it's a 10 hour trip then make it a long weekend and do some sightseeing to make it worth it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385417/3117022.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385417/3117022.page GMT
