Message: <blockquote data-quote="Celebrim" data-source="post: 9384220" data-attributes="member: 4937">It's not my first con experience or the only game I played this year.Also, I spent a summer running one shots every Wednesday night at the local gaming shop, with an open table of up to 12 strangers every week - some of whom were driving in 90 miles to get a seat.  I understand a little bit of how to run a game and I understand a little bit of the additional difficulties that come from running a game for strangers, and the sheer chaos of having large tables that don't know each other and hard time constraints.I'm saying this goes well beyond the normal range of simple linear adventures with just 1-5 meaningful encounter areas.I have played games with players that deserve downvoting because they want to make the whole experience about them and literally rules lawyer and argue with the rules in events other people paid to be in.  So sure, I'm down with that.But I'm telling you, this was well beyond the normal range of convention experiences.   And again, I'm not saying this person is a bad GM or bad person for running games to a particular aesthetic, but I am saying I felt the victim of false advertising on the claim this was "7e Call of Cthulhu".  Despite the character sheets, this wasn't even 1e CoC.</blockquote>
