I have the last slot. Admittedly the worst slot since lots of people have already left the con to go home. Everyone is tired and the excitement is lost. But also the people who are still around are hardcore.

Pshaw, you'll fuckin' kill it no matter how many people have left. No joke, man, much as I take the piss, you're pretty good, and the hardcore players suit your style. Last might be the worst spot for many others, but for you, it's the duck's nuts, it suits your style.
I was not burned at the stake during my first GM experience today, which I consider success. Learned tons - still reeling. Made it home safely. Did not need to walk. Hope everyone else is fine too.
No offense to anyone else - and for the fucking record - Scott's game was the best game I played in all weekend.
I was surprised that my game was so well. Lots of credit goes to having some players who were crazy enthusiastic. It was the last session. People wanted to get out and beat the storm. Everyone was crazy tired. Yet, they all came to play and played hard. And thankfully they did, because Luke was almost going to play, which I did not want. John and Jahmal were pros, but Shervyn was total nub and GroverBomb was a relative nub, but everyone rocked it.
I wasn't confident in my game since I threw it together, and it was untested. Once it got rolling I was surprised how well the beliefs worked together. I was also surprised at how well I GM'd considering I hadn't done it in quite awhile. Now I really want to run it a lot more, especially with different players to see how it works out.
Rym is a great Lady Blackbird, we turned our game into a romantic comedy.
Scott got an axe in the back trying to protect a corpse. I tried to push him out of the way.
Okeefe was the one who put the axe in his back. He also ran a great Freemarket game.
GroverBomb was the one presiding over that particular carnage. Balls of steel for putting up with our BS and rolling with the punches. Tough crowd for a first game!
I didn't get to game with Totally Guy, but his game sounded hot and his stories about Annoying Jiminy cracked me up. Not sure I met YoshoKatana, either!
Exceedingly impressed with how my game went. I kind of wish I could pick the games I choose to play in a little better though. I was in a couple where I just couldn't figure out what my role in the game was or even intended to be.
As an aside, anyone stuck in the city for the next couple of days? I was meant to meet family for the next few days but they've not been able to make it with the flights being cancelled.

Looks like I got the first slot, as did Rym. I have a feeling there will be fighting tooth and nail over that Inheritance LARP.
It means my game will be done and nothing will be hanging over my head for the whole con! It also means means I set the bar for everyone in my game.

Great con. Great games. Great to see everybody.

When can it be next year?
