Thanks Publishers for your confidence. Reviews of the astonishgly good Authority and the "Right-up-my-alley" X-Crawl will be up shortly (got some reading done on the plane)<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Psion's Traveller game. We played my favorite kind of Traveller; "Bums-in-space-"anything for a buck". We spaced our own captain. We bribed pirates to kidnap someone for us. the whole thing was so Firefly it hurt. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Meeting new friends. Stone Angel, Cthulu's Librarian and Jester 47 top this particular list. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Little Canadia. I love the Parent/Robinson clan a little more every year. I shudder to think how much ass Jake and I are going to have to kick once Genevieve starts attracting boys at the Con. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Two words: Strip.

Seems I was missing a pretty crucial piece of information. Aw well, not a Con-wrecker. I've done dumber things for more oblique reasons.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">True Hero the superhero version of True Dungeon. Stupid and aggravating almost beyond belief. Due to a combination of poor design on their part, bad luck on my part, and total non-enthusiasm on the part of our "Watcher" (GM) I spent 20 bucks to take leisurly walk through some tents. Worst experience of the con. Why couldn't I have insulted these guys instead of Kenson? :\ </li> </ul>I can safely say that this was not just my best Gen Con experience, but my best Con experience of any kind.
