Official Dates:

July 24-26, 2020 (with extended time starting Thursday, July 23, 2020).

This marks a slight change, as Achievement Fest will be a week later than normal.

I will open up registration in early 2020, but, I wanted to get the dates out there in a few places, so that people could begin planning.

At this time, I am not sure what tweaks to pricing will happen; I know Zack, Dustin, and I want to make registration and selections as easy and streamlined as possible.
Can't justify the expense to fly out to another state to play video games. Hell, I can't even justify doing something like PAX Prime these days and I live within driving distance of Seattle lol.
Depending on how things progress between now and when registration opens, this year might be a game time decision.

After AF2014, we stopped trying to break/set records with Guinness (not worth the time and effort, and as of this writing, Mr pTart is the solo record holder and Achievement Fest 2013 is the group record holder).

It has become just 3-4 days of gamers from around North America (currently no one outside of the US or Canada has attended, but, they are welcome) to meetup, game, boost, swap games, eat, and hang out.

It is in Terre Haute, IN, during the back half of July, held at eBash, an almost 15-year established LAN center owned by BoZack. Terre Haute is close to Indianapolis, and is on the airport side of the city, so, flying in and out of IND is easy, and doesn't require traversing the city.

No, no jest. Never had much interest in SDCC. Most comic conventions are lining up to see people and get autographs. I don't really do either of those things. And, at all of the conventions i do and have done, I have only done one panel. So, I am more of a trade show person, with active demos and playtesting. I honestly could not have told you when SDCC was, I figured it was like Fall/Winter time.
