If you havn't visited the games fair yet, it's surely worth it!
It's huge and there is always a lot to see.
The rpg stuff tends to be a bit more dull these days, where you can preorder anything in the internet way before it hits the shelves, so don't expect to be flooded with new and exciting things, but there still is a lot to see (especially if you are one of those guys who do not know every single book on this planet inside out) and you'll have plenty opportunities to look into books and even try games (especially non-rpg, but also rpg, at least at the major companies' boothes).
The non-rpg area is great fun as well, you can spend hours upon hours there usually!
Anyways, I can only reassure you... give it a try! You won't be disappointed for sure.
Bye

Hey Thanee! Moved from Aachen to Meerbusch?
Anyway, the Essen Games Fair is always great fun. While the RPG hall is cool, I spend most of my time testing and looking at board and card games exhibited there.
I usually try to attent for two days, the first just walking around, watching, buying, the second just playing whatever game happened to catch my interest. Of course, I usually fail to attend for two days, as well
It's not really a big RPG convention, although we have a lot of role-playing and live-rpgs as well as music etc. going on, but it's really a games fair for all kinds of games.
Plus, it's lumped together with a comic exhibition, so there's even more than games.

I'll probably try to come to this. I'm living in Koeln at the moment, and have been massively starved for gaming. This is the first event I've heard about since ive been here (hell, I can't even find a single gaming store in this city!)
on a tangential note, anyone in the koeln area looking for gamers?

I will also be there, probably on Friday and Sunday. I can definately recommend it to anyone living in the area, because it is fun. OK, you cannot expect many new rpg releases there, but you can find everything that is already released, browse through it, haggle a bit...
You can also find much out-of-print material, and of course DICE. Lots of dice. I am always looking for new and exotic ones. I also like "classical" board games, and the ability to play-test all the new ones is sure worth it.
hope to see you all there,
