I probably would have had almost as much fun if the ENWorld crowd had agreed to have a weekend of RPG's somewhere.Things I noticed No D20 Modern games organised at all.There is a Living Spycraft campaign? No mention of it on the RPGA's website (perhaps because its hosted by WotC), but sure enough AEG has it listed.... hmm tempted to play that next year.Loads of Living XXXX campaign games, but if you weren't into Living games the pickings were slim.Call of Cthulhu was really well supported I think there were six different modules to choose from so if you wanted to you could probably play it all weekend. (Maybe next year) Several tables available in nearly every slot.Megadungeon - D&D 3rd Ed Campaign running through out the convention again several table running in most slots.now the pickings got slim...Buffy:tRPG - although several adventures and several slots only one table at any time.Feng Shui - again several adventures and several slots but only one table at any time.Both of these games at any other Gencon would have supported several tables, and I'm sure even with the low attendance these could have done with a few more tables.There were other games running but usually only one table and sometimes only in one slot as well.Another thing that seemed to annoy me about the ticketing system is at other Gencon's I've turned up at the RPG desk and said "What do you need a GM for? I can do, Cyberpunk, Feng Shui, Buffy, CoC, D&D, and probably anything you need me for." This year I didn't see the point, since even if say I said I'll run Feng Shui the desk down stairs wouldn't have a slot number or tickets to sell. They wouldn't know there are 6 more spaces in that game. Left hand didn't seem to know what the right hand was doing.There wasn't a delegate organised game notice board, in fact the the none of the notice boards looked particularly offical, they were often covered with adverts, or events that happened the night before.Two noticeboards each of which are check by an offical after each slot, who pulls down out of date information would be really useful. One for offical games the other for delegate games. I have a feeling they don't want delegate games since they don't get money from them.Hmmm I promise my next post will be more positive, after all I did enjoy myself.</blockquote>
