[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 3015208, member: 30035"] This is a little tangential to the topic, so I hope you'll forgive me. But I've never been to a gaming con. I've always thought that playing a game with a bunch of total strangers would be, well, not much fun. I don't like the idea of having no control over who I'm playing with.

I'm also wondering: does Gen Con offer 'adults only' games?
