[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 2507666, member: 232"] Yes, Gen Con rocks. This year has been the best of the three I've gone to. With so many EN WQorlders there and so many friends, I was never at a loss for something to do. I played in my first game there, ran a game, and even got to do a Gen Con event. [list] [*]Telflon Billy called this the Year of Rel. Everyone else talked about the fun they had in his games. I was not one of those, but with luck we'll have him back next year so I can see what all the talk is about. Rel is a treat and a great guy. [*]My Orcan Pie Paranoia game went from little interest to way to much over night. I think I could have filled another two slots if I would have planed for it. It was a lot of fun, and efven with many player completely unfamilar with the game it went off very well. Next year it will be improved and much better. [*]My highligh though was Chris Pramas personaly introducing my to Lynn Abbey, one of the creators of Thieves World. I spent about 30 minutes talking with her until other came to see her. Fabolous woman and great series of books. [*]My experince with Round Robin with Curtis was 1am after the ENnies. Aside from the time being a mistake that game was great. It was really cool when 2 hours in piratecat stops by and we pull him in and he plays without any backstory of what happened before. I think I did a good job, and I had a lot of fun with that. I'll need to do that again. [*]The ENnies just rocked. I and others put in a lot of hard work and it felt good to see the colmination of everything come off so well.
