I'm freakin' exhausted.
There were three no-shows tonight for the Barroom Blitz. That's about what I expected, really, it's about average for something that size. What I didn't expect was that there would be people standing around before the session was even close to starting so as to "be first in line" to get into the event with generics. That's how popular it appears to have been.
When we playtested it at home, it ran the full four hours and was actually a bit tight. Tonight, I misremembered the schedule and thought, at midnight, at that we were at the wrapping up point, when actually we were only three hours into the session. That bodes really well for future sessions (since running late was one of my biggest fears, especially Sunday when there's no time to do so since it's the last event of the entire Con).
I am mentally and physically drained from it, but it was so, so, so worth it, and I'm looking forward to more of the same tomorrow night.
