That's been a dream for a long time; alas, AFTER I was in Baltimore many

but in spite of the fact the mileage isn't THAT much greater, crossing the
briny remains a distant fantasy.

Well, big cons have similar problems with small groups of wild and crazy
gamers. Couple of the LARPs my daughter joined got a bit out of hand.

And the hours were well offset; I've mentioned before hot bedding with my
Vampire youngun'.

In the main, though, dumped ice chests were about the worst you'd see.

Sci Fi Supply, the same folks that used micro machine Star Wars fighters
that looked correct next to the 6 foot long Star Destroyer...

>It sounds like a number of the con games were too long. Do you have any
suggestions for running shorter games?

Tough unless everybody knows what they're doing, and does it, and things
can happen simultaneously at different parts of the table.

That's just cruel.
