Sadly I could only give VengerCon I 4 out of 5 stars, the previously mentioned hookers and blow were not free.

VENGERRRRR!!!!!!  >:(

They weren't free?   Clearly Vengercon and Venger himself need to be cancelled  ;D ;D ;D

I attended VengerCon and I am happy to report it was a solid weekend of gaming.

We had between 12-18 folks with 2-4 tables going at all times. Really didn't slow down until Sunday morning.

I don't really like large crowds, and at a larger gaming con I wouldn't be gaming with 99% of the people there anyway, so this actually sounds ideal.

I attended VengerCon and I am happy to report it was a solid weekend of gaming.

Everyone was laid back and focused on the games. Every morning we had the chance to chat and eat breakfast and drink coffee etc. The location was conveniently located near several restaurants but the hotel bar wasn't bad either.

We had between 12-18 folks with 2-4 tables going at all times. Really didn't slow down until Sunday morning.

I was able to meet new friends and even bumped into someone I met at North Texas RPG Con the year before, which was a pleasant surprise.

Venger was approachable and a hoot to play with in his gonzo Cha'alt games, which is best enjoyed by not taking things too seriously.

Other games I played: Conan RPG, Lamentations of the Flame Princess, BECMI D&D, Crimson Dragon Slayer d20, and I ran AD&D 1e. Other games I was aware of included DCC, Crawlspace, and at least one new RPG (Dream of the Dragon by Ivan Richmond).

I'll be back for VengerCon II!

What?  Gaming focused?!  No "celebrities?!"  And next you will tell me the guests were actual gamers! 

When I lay down 100 bucks I am hoping for cronies of 5e authors who are former porn stars with borderline personality disorder and woke ass mods (I.e. 1000s!) of players!  I mean they don't really have to like games and shit or know how to play or want to learn how to play—-they just have to want to create stories that validate their modern day view of stuff.  What a joke this was!

This was my first convention, and I'll be going back for the next one.  Everyopne I talked to was really cool.  I ended up playing in several games that I wasn't origninally planning to attend and I had a blast!  I was involved in two TPKs, which were a lot of fun in their own right.  I even enjopyed the Cha'alt sessions though I'm not normally into gonzo.  I liked it well enough to buy a hardcover of the first Cha'alt book, which I will mine for ideas and might even run as a one-shot or two.

This really took me back to the days when we'd play all weekend, stopping only for food and sleep.

There were hookers and blow?!?  How come no one told me? 

In all seriousness... yes, it was a fun time.  I didn't know exactly what to expect since this was my first time organizing an RPG convention.  I'm signing paperwork later today for next year's shindig.  Will officially announce that either Monday or Tuesday on my blog.

I made another thread about my post-con thoughts, but will share my blog post here, as well: https://vengersatanis.blogspot.com/2022/07/venger-con-success.html

Just got my badge and room for Vengercon II. Had a blast last year.

Now I need to decide what games I am going to run / play

Rock out with your OSR cock out, hoss!

I'm definitely going to be running Cha'alt, but would like to play in some games that I haven't played ever or in awhile.  Should I make a list of stuff I'd like to see at Venger Con this year (well, almost this year)?

I also got my ticket for Christmas, and I was thinking of running something this time.  I have a few ideas, so a list of things you'd like to see would be valuable!

Aside from things like OSE, Labyrinth Lord, etc., other things I've been dying to play are

Whatever it is, I'd prefer rules-light games.  I do not want to spend the first quarter of the session learning a whole bunch of new rules - half of which probably won't even come into play.

Ghostbusters, Paranoia, Call of Cthulhu, Amber Diceless Roleplaying, Star Wars D6, Vampire: The Masquerade (1st edition), Toon, etc.

Most of my stuff is D&D retroclones or Cepheus Engine.  I was thinking of doing something with Sword and Caravan, but I could run something based on Zozer Game's Hostile/Zaibatsu setting.
