If you've ever been in such a place, you know there's a hum of conversations, usually not a cacophany because people aren't trying to shout down other tables, but all those concurrent conversations make quite the hubbub. And it rises and ebbs, as patterns in different conversations emerge.At one point, a lot of tables suddenly quieted for no particular reason, except for one of the Call of Cthulhu tables, where you could just hear the tail end of a conversation a player was having with the GM. "... do you mean it's Hastur?"There was a moment of dead silence. Then, suddenly, every GM at every table was pulling out and rolling dice. I heard the outcry from various tables, "But... we're not even playing Cthulhu! This is a Twilight 2000 game!" Didn't matter, GMs were having fun with the circumstances. I heard from various players later that, while it was totally unexpected, they had a bunch of fun.Ah, we had good times at the conventions in the 90s!</blockquote>
