[QUOTE="MulhorandSage, post: 2518872, member: 751"] The Good: - Picking up the silver ENnie for Villainy Amok. It was a very classy presentation, and the judges were all extremely cordial, friendly folks. - Purchasing Pulp Hero, Mutants and Masterminds 2e, and Dogs in the Vineyard 2nd edition. In fact, I found the energy at the Forge booth quite refreshing, and could kick myself for walking away from a chance to play in a Polaris demo. - Meeting lots of old friends and fans. - The registration process. Well done guys. - The WOTC booth design. - The CGG service on Sunday. - Several good games. The Bad: - Hot humid weather. Forget all those jokes about smelly gamers; one needed to shower every five minutes to stay dry in *that* humidity. - Not visiting the Canadiana suite. Stupid, stupid me. - Not crossing paths with Monte or Ed and several others I wanted to say "hi". - Con parties. I'm just getting too old to stand around for hours in noisy, smelly rooms where I can't even hold a decent conversation. - Depressing conversations about the state of the industry. - People at other tables shouting "bansai! bansai! bansai!" when I'm in the middle of an intense game. - Cigarettes in hotels and bars. The Ugly - Seas of shambling people clad in hideous worn, faded, black T-shirts. Invest in a polo shirt guys! :-) [/QUOTE]
