It's unique and glorious, and has a huge ENW contingent.I'll discuss smaller cons, since at GenCon you could conceivably never play a game (you'd be daft, but you could do it) and not be bored. Most cons have <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=rpga" target="_blank">RPGA</a> sponsored games (usually Living Forgotten Realms) and non-RPGA games. Anonycon also has a high proportion of games with pre-gen characters, which I personally prefer. You pay a set amount for the weekend, then often each game you play is an additional $2 or $3; buying these tickets reserves you a space. Usually there's a judge and a 6-person table; I've found most of the judges are pretty good, although you always may hit someone on either end of the bell curve. Same with the other players.</blockquote>
