Gencon from awesome to suck.
My first attended roleplaying con is officially over. Four days of gaming ten to twelve hours a day, each day waking up earlier than I do to go to work. Tis crazy, but overall worth it. Got to play a bunch of systems I hadn't tried and here's how the games stacked up.

1. Buffy. What can I say, without a doubt the funnest game I played there. Definitely helped by a great group and flexible GM. Playing the bratty teenage Slayer Mae was a blast. Stealing a car from a priest, telling your mother your watcher/teacher wants to molest you, having your boyfriend try to convince your mom you're on drugs, riffing with another player on a continual series of witty puttdowns for the watcher from her majesty's island. Good times all around.

2. Savage Worlds. For the most part this was a fairly straighforward Vietnam War shoot-em-up. But little touches of the system, like the flaw that made me charge down a blind hall when I heard a woman scream for help, made this game soar. Each of our soldiers had a sense of character that elevated this above rolling dice.

3. DnD Silent Tide. Compelling modules, even for low level characters, can be written well. It especially helps to have an excellent DM who can give the NPCs unique and believable voices. My hats off to her, as immersion wise, she was the best game runner of the bunch we had over the four days.

4. Cyberpunk. Not so simple snatch and grab. Got to hollow some people out with a barrett sniper rifle so you can't beat that. Overall, most impressive bit was the open ended nature of this scenario. We had the mission to grab an asset alive at a high security hotel conference. I felt confidant the GM would have played the game well no matter how we approached the mission.

5 and so on. Mostly a bunch of hit and miss stuff not worth mentioning. If you like games, roleplaying or board or anime, I would suggest going to a con at least once. Definitely an experience.
