I had two games of Mutants & Masterminds I ran that went very well and seemed very popular with the players. I played in a game of Mutants & Masterminds that went pretty well (it was a wild martial arts style game) and then I played in a game of Big Eyes Small Mouth that was bad but not terrible. We all had some fun even though the session completely lacked in plot, setting and character.On the board game side, my son and Jason were able to complete all the Mayfair demos they needed to win all the ribbons. And Chris used that to win two card games from Mayfair's DaVinci game line, "Abracadabra" and "Word Jam. Taking my son to the show is a LOT of fun for him and for me. He just has such a good time and his enthusiasm is really, really high. On the press side, it went very poorly. There just didn't seem like there were a LOT of new products and no one was really making any outreach efforts to the media types. This is the first year I ended up with NO press swag. Nothing to review, nothing really to write about. Maybe next year, I won't even apply for the press badge, 'cause with it, I feel obligated to give some effort to finding a story that work will be interested in.And I really enjoyed GMing at the show. This is the second time for me and I really enjoyed it both years I have done it. There is something to be said for a four hour, self-contained session playing with complete strangers.This was also the first year I did absolutely no volunteering at the show.</blockquote>
