The Khan of Cons!
Got into three, maybe four offical games - plenty by my standards! There were certainly lots of events and plenty of choices as to what to do. Quick thoughts off the top of my head (as I need some tea)...
1) Any chance dividers could be put between those -A and -B games? Sharing a room with two games going on makes for lots of cross-talk, and having some sort of sound buffer could be handy.
2) The Weight System, I think, works well all told. My concern was for those, like GMs and volunteers, who'd like to get into a specific game during certain sessions. Having a starting lower weight in the beginning's great for getting into session 1, 2 and 3 games, but if you did get into those games, it makes it more difficult to get into, say, a session 6 game that you're really interested in. You could just *not* sign up for the previous sessions, but that's a bit extreme.
My suggestion is to allow GMs or volunteers to apply a "favored" session, i.e. be able to allot their starting weight "reduction" of 200 (or whatever) to a session, or spread them through a few sessions of their chosing. This'd be incredibly handy for those who're only staying around for a few days of the Con, or have to skip out for a day because of other obligations. That, or if they don't have a favored session, they could apply it evenly across the sessions they'd prefer to get into.
Anyhow, glad to hear you survived! It was great, and it has inspired me to write up some "modules" so that I'll be prepared to run a variety of games next year.
