Last year there was a thread asking for Gencon feedback. I know there is a "highlights" thread and I have some of those but I had some middle of the road feedback to share also.
I played 4 PFS sessions. Pretty good for me considering Gencon is really the only time I get to play PFS for the most part. Had good GM experiences at all tables with the GM's for the specials being really exceptional.
That being said, I did not think the Thursday special felt "special". It was a good scenario but just did not have the same "zip" as the Friday special. It really did feel like just another adventure. It was missing that feel of "working together" that I really enjoy. The other players I did talk with this about felt much the same. I guess I was spoiled by the special last year, which was really great. I was hoping for a bigger "bang" to end the Year of the Demon.
I love the idea of multiple special at Gencon and hope you continue this and even consider expanding to 3 specials. Heck, link them together in a series of 3 adventures. We could of spent 3 sessions in the Sky Citadel pretty easily. I know, easy for me to say when I don't have to write them.
I thought the mustering was much better this year, even when the Friday special was getting a little crazy in the hallway it was still under control.
Thanks for the hard work and thanks to the GM's and volunteers who made this all work.
I still have yet to get a boon worth applying in 3 Gencons =) Hoping I can work a deal with the person next year to trade them 12 for 1!!!
