Owlcon Quicktakes

[omorka]

Con attendance: unofficial estimate, around 550 people - less than last year, but not by a huge number.

Games I played in: 3 (two by tfbretz, his "Heroes of the New Age" setting for Feng Shui and a light-but-fun smash-'em-up romp using the Marvel Super Heroes FASERIP system; one by b3zsgirl in Shadowrun)

Games I helped run: 1 (the Call of Cthulhu LARP)

Games I skipped: 1 (An unspecified World of Darkness game this morning - no way was I going to make a 10 am Sunday game after the LARP)

Games that didn't make: 1 (TC's Shab Al-Hiri Roach game - the only people who showed were me, him, and his girlfriend)

Lots of new faces, and a conspicuous absence of some old ones, at the Cthulhu LARP. Played members of a band in two different games. Almost nothing in the dealer's room I really wanted to buy; I bought one shirt from the Instant Attitudes table and that was it. Enjoyed the con immensely, even with some serious hiccups.

Serious hiccups on our part? I am, of course, looking for feedback so that we might improve...

Mostly LARP-related, and generally not anything the con could have done anything about. The only one that I think y'all could have done much about was that a very noisy game got scheduled on Friday evening next to one that really needed more subtlety. (I was in the noisy one, so we didn't suffer, but the tabletop Call of Cthulhu game had to deal with us on one side and loud miniatures guys on another.)
