I've really enjoyed DunDraCon and KublaCon when I lived in San Jose, and have attended GaryCon the past two years, and most recently, the North Texas RPG Con---where you get to play in games with Erol Otus, Paul Jaquays, Rob Kuntz, Jim Ward, Tim Kask, Frank Mentzer, Dennis Sustare, and other designer luminaries. (There are a number of ex-TSR folks at GaryCon too, of course).
