[QUOTE="Eridanis, post: 2893147, member: 275"] Some great stories here in this thread. My first con was one that I actually helped organize (in partnership with the FLGS) while in high school in Carmel, NY; had to have been around 1987 or 88. I continued the trend by organizing Magic and D&D gaming days while working at Waldenbooks in Wayne, NJ from 1990 to 1993. I remember that one of the attendees had connections in the RPGA, so we were able to run RPGA modules for the AD&D con we held in 1993. Very fun! First real con would have been the one run over Labor Day weekend in San Francisco (don't remember the name) in 1998. Staying up till all hours playing games - priceless! First GenCon was 2000. We were moving back to Chicago from San Francisco, and I made abso-damn-lutely sure that we had a three-day layover in Milwaukee so I could attend my first GenCon and get my hands on the 3rd edition PHB. One of the best weekends of my life, for lots of reasons. [/QUOTE]
