A great GM can make a stinker of a mod great!  A lousy GM can make a beautiful gem of a mod painful.Entirely true! You can look at a player's logs, but the determined cheater-pants will have that already filled out. Every *item* I saw was certed, so you could ask to look at certs, but the story awards were not certed. I think, at some point, you just have to trust your players. If someone has something that is game-breakingly bad that really obviates or impinges on the fun of the *other* players at the table, you just have to exert your GM prerogative and either say "that's not going to fly at this table because it's ruining other people's fun" or "I'm sorry, I will not GM for you. Please leave."There were hundreds of gamers at Winter Fantasy. I played *only* three of the six OAs. I did sign up early - they sold out quick. Me and my crew bought 2 sets of $120 all-access passes to get the extra AOs.  I'm a convention organizer and I think I can get 4 admins out to Atlanta for about $40-$45 per player per slot*. So yeah, it's expensive.^ This. Preach it brother.Paige* $40 slot for 2 day AO mini convention4 slots 2 Sat, 2 Sun 4 tables per slot x 4 slots x 6 players per table = $3840. 2 hotel rooms 2 nights at $100 per room = $4004 people $50 per diem for 2 days = $400Printing $100Conference room rental $400/day x 2 days = $800Uber from Airport to hotel and back $25 pp each way x 2 x 4 = $200$1940 left for plane tickets.Delta Airlines, weekend of Oct 14-16 (ticket prices highly speculative as that's a date I picked more-or-less haphazardly)SEA-ATL for Travis Woodall = $450SEA-ATL for Bill Benham = $450DEN-ATL for Robert Adducci = $450LAN-ATL for Alan Patrick = $650MKE-ATL for Greg Marks = $300Sum profit?  -$60.
