Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rel" data-source="post: 2514095" data-attributes="member: 99">I bought nary a ticket for anything at GenCon.  The only slight regret was not getting to play True Dungeon.  I had chances to buy a couple of tickets for it but it would have meant cancelling pickup games that I had scheduled.  Give up playing Piratecat's Mace Hunter and the Fountain of Youth to play True Dungeon with a bunch of strangers?  I don't think so.Anyway, my approach to GenCon was exactly right for me.  I packed every minute that I could with pickup games that totally rocked (both as a GM and as a Player).  Then I fit in other stuff around my pickup game schedule.  Things like manning the ENnies booth (where I pulled two shifts and helped with the teardown) and roaming the dealer floor were perfect ways to fill in times when I didn't have a game full of ENWorlders to attend.  And when I had a bit of time to kill after a game in the evenings, well there was always the Canadiana Suite.I've said before and I'll say again that I never gave a damn about going to GenCon before I was an ENWorlder.  This place is really what makes it worth going and my mantra is "Every minute of GenCon that I'm not spending with a fellow ENWorlder is a minute I'm having less fun than I could be."  The universally high quality of the folks I met from here is just mind blowing.</blockquote>
