Sad.
Not the best GenCon ever by any stretch and I liked the refrance to Shadowrun.
Never trust an elf
Never deal with a dragon
watch your own back
Find your own truth.

I remember getting the original Shadowrun book and finding it interesting, but never really got the chance to play. Knowing I have a fox who is an expert is cool enough, I guess. =)

A fun, sweet, sad story all rolled into one, nicely done.

Thanks, the topic had me thinking dark so I went with it.

You did good.

I love the way you came up with to use the prompt:)

Also, this sounds like a lot of fun! I like how you were able to cover a lot of ground without making the entry really long. That takes skill and is something I need to work on.

My son wants to go to a sci-fi convention SO BAD. Maybe next year..

Cons can be a lot of fun for kids (local fan-run shows are best, unless you're up for the Disneyland-on-steroids experience of the really big cons like GenCon, Comicon or Dragoncon) but unless he's a grown-up, make sure adults are along. Besides, you'd enjoy it, too.

If my son decides he wants to go to a Con, I will take him regardless of age - but only during the daytime. :)

This definitely resonated with my Con experiences, though I'm not a D&D player, really. I'm glad the sad parts are made up.

For the most parts, cons have gone well for me. I am reminded of a friend who gets heavily involved in the local convention, even though it comes on the anniversary of a very dark time for him. He told me once that the sadness does try to take him, even when he's in the midst of all the fun of the con, but he credits the positive vibes of like-minded people that surround him there as what helps him through.

A very interesting use for the prompt! Good going!

Thanks! The eggshell mattress was my first thought when I saw the topic. Glad this worked.
