Gen Con game

Each year I run a game but this year I don't know what to run. Since I usually steal all of Piratecat's ideas I'm also making a poll. So, poll coming.

Changeling the Dreaming: This will be the old World of Darkness game. It will be a game that balances the characters with threats from the real world and the dreaming. Game will be kind of close to the original mechanically.

Hedge House: This is a haunted house scenario using some super rules light mechanics. I ran it in Albany in 08 and it was successful and confusing in a good way.

Hunter the Vigil: Modern day horror game where you the PCs hunt the monsters.

Paranoia: I used to run it every year but put it on hiatus after Xath turned it into a musical. I figured I could never top that. Probably still can't, but it was always fun.

Something else: Always looking for suggestions. I've run and played lots of games so suggest anything. Maybe Dread or Deleria or Space Opera...

I'm not going to Gen Con this year, but I think you should run Paranoia; moreover, you should get Xath to play again, run a (musical) sequel to the last game, record it, and post it somewhere for the amusement of we who will not be there.

But it was fun singing along with friend computer....
I'd love to do Paranoia again, I don't even mind being clone fodder, but I'm spending about 75% of time running True Dungeon's mini run this year, so unless it's being run on Monday or Sunday before 8 am after 8 pm, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to play. Which sucks.

On one hand, taking away their weapons is a dead giveaway that they will need them. On the other hand, by the time conflict starts the players will already have opened the rulebooks and found the parts that deal with bare-handed combat, performing disarm moves, and using improvised weapons. Players may blunder through dialog with shocking ineptitude, forget the name of the country they are in, or get confused about which side they are on, but once it comes time to roll for initiative they all turn into Sun Tzu. - Shamus Young DM of the Rings

I voted for Hunter : The Vigil. I know very few things about that game, and I'ld like to discover more.

I got the oppurtunity to run a game called Sorcery and Super Science by XRP. It hasn't been published yet so this is the first time I've ever been able to run something before release to general public. I have a thread on that elsewhere around here.
