Where Gen Con really shines isn't the vendor hall. It's the events, the memories, the panels with your favorite creators, and getting to meet your nerd icons (like this year, Tank Tolman, Jaques ze Whipper, Quincy, and Rhys Darby). And let's be honest, the spectacle of the whole thing.

It's so hard to get players to find true leads. I find that dumping false leads on them is completely counter-productive. You have to run one every once in a while, just to keep things interesting, but 90%+ of the time, don't do it.

Wear of clothing can be one of those little indicators that provides flavor during a game. "Oh, your clothes are ripped and torn and you look like hell because you've been living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland for three years." It's a good bit of flavor to remind the players what condition their characters are in.

Today I learned Robert Pollard wants to get glad girls high.
I thought it was black girls he wanted to get high.

Hi there,
once I had a player who was . . . hm . . nearly always reading hints false,
So a good track was wiped away by him as a red hering, while he was chasing rainbows all the time.
Partly it was great fun, on the other hand, all other players had some hard time in bringing him back on trail.
It can be fun, but it can be a nightmare as well.
Ciao
Martin

I had dreams of going when I was younger, but never could afford it. Now I am too old to attend it (mostly due to size and crowds. If it were the same as it was when I was a wee one, then I would probably go).Almost anything I would want I can wait until it hits the market.
