Last weekend was Strategicon: Gateway. I found out that each of the strategicon conventions has a different gaming emphasis. Gateway's is apparently board games, and I cant help but think of it as "Board games are a Gateway game": They get you to come to a convention based on board games and then introduce you to all the other kinds of games out

The Sunday afternoon game was my first time running Mage tabletop (I've played/run it online for several years, and played a couple of tabletop games at the con). I'm sorry it didn't go better, and would honestly appreciate any advice you're willing to offer on how to fix it

Hi welcome to my journal! I hope I didn't offend you by saying what i felt of the game. I honestly think I may have viewed the Mage game differently in retrospect if i'd had a better experience with my evening game, but that sort of thing taints the day and makes you wish you weren't born

No problem. I felt bad for a bit, but I got over it. And your advice is definitely helpful.

On another note, you mentioned phasing out Requiem and Awakening, but only gave a specific reason for Requiem. Is Awakening basically the same thing, or are there other issues? I was leaning toward getting involved with it, as I've never had quite the same intuitive grasp of any of the other lines.
