Another One Bites The Dust
Aug. 18th, 2008 07:01 pmAnd another GenCon has been laid to rest.
When I went to Origins in June, I was in a pretty miserable state of mine and almost expected to have a horrible time at the con. I was quite happily proven wrong and had a blast. With this GenCon, I was stressed leading up to it (problems with pixilated asses and concerns about money), but the moment I hit the road with my friend Scott, things were good.
( Let me break this all down into some overly long and rambling bullet points. )
TO SUM UP
It was a good time. There was good food (Indy has an awesome number of great restaurants right downtown), good people, good laughs, and good games. I wish I could have gotten in some additional RPGs, but ultimately I enjoyed everything I did.
The question now is whether or not we go back next year. On the way up, Scott and I were both commenting on the fact that it's pretty expensive to go to these big cons, so we should probably choose one. Origins is probably better on the game end of things, though GenCon has more going on overall. Origins wins, though, for being a bit cheaper.
Now that it's over and I'm home, though, I don't even want to think about missing it next year. So, I'm back at step one. I wish I could just win the lottery and be able to go to these whenever I want. :)
