At the same time, I had this big ammount of cash and was totally afraid of getting robbed.I took a hidden pocket with all my money all the time around. I kept looking (and drooling) at everything for the first three days. I only started buying stuff on the third day and even then I only bought the "must have"s. Only on the fourth day I allowed myself to go crazy and spend the rest of the cash I had (and boy those dollars sure go out fast!).I only made one slip in this strategy. As I was walking down the Exhibitor Hall just before they opened it on the third day (Thanks God for those special badges), I went by Decipher´s booth and saw the new LOTR RPG. It was fresh out of the box and I asked the guy: "Are these for sale?" and he said "In a few minutes. Wanna buy one now?".And temptation was too big. I didn´t  even flip the friggin´book. I´m glad I wasn´t disappointed when I did.So, there you go. Keep your money hidden with you and reject the thought of buying everything you see.Also, don´t count on planning too much in advance. I had a long list of stuff I wanted but when I got there I saw many others I was immediately hooked.As Twinrose Chris would say: "This one time... at GenCon..."Best,Marcio FioritoP.S.: Won´t be able to be there this year, but who knows? Maybe next time!</blockquote>
