I started out running the Star Wars Classic event "Light & Dark", featuring 15th lvl characters and a whole lotta prestige classes. I... err... had never run a Star Wars game before.  I borrowed Gospog's copies of the new rules and the Dark Side handbook (thanks, Tom!), so I wasn't TOTALLY unprepared, but I definitely depended on the players for a few rules calls. The game was a delight, and Morrus's friend Al wandered by just as I managed to tempt 4 of the 6 PCs into accepting Dark Side points. Ahhh, sweet bliss. We ran long, but it was so worth it.The players' response to the high level SW characters was delightful, by the way; they cheered! It was a cinegraphic game, as I tried to describe camera shots and cut scenes. I think it worked. Grabbing gross con food for lunch - exactly how many nasty over-priced hot dogs can I eat, anyways? The answer is one - I went on to judge the fun Grand Masters D&D game. It was a moderately silly game with intelligent (and classed) animals for PCs, but the players were superb, and used really good tactics.  I got to roleplay my butt off, and I hardly hurt my throat at all doing goblin impressions.  After the game, I headed over to George Webb with Quartermoon. Mmmm, greasy food, and good service for the first time in five years!  Then off to the ENnies, where there was already a huge crowd gathered.I've seen Morrus look better; as anyone who occasionally does public speaking will tell, the period before you speak is never fun. He and Eric had some great photos taken, though, including one of them holding the "hot Italian beef!" sign from the adjacent concession stand.  I hooked up with the FDP guys, and we traded nervous jokes while we waited.Tomorrow: ENnie amusement, the best thing about the WW/FFG party, and the EN Board CoC game!</blockquote>
