    Anyone gone to Gen Con?

    Having it open for everyone would be an ideal, but you'd run in to problems with a paid ticketed event like Gen Con. It'd be horrible if there was a full sim not allowing a person that paid for a ticket to a game to go to that game.

    Next year if they do it again I'd like to see a hybrid of the two, sims with open access all the time and areas with restricted access to ensure that those that paid for tickets get the experience paid for. What I'd be really interested in seeing is how they implement bridging the floor area for the exhibitors from RL with SL, and if they'll have a section for SL exhibitors. Imagine walking through booths selling pdfs and 3d printer stl file downloads and then booths with SL products too.

    For those that want to check the build out and wander around:

    That'll take you to the main street. There's a Teleport HUD that lets you go to the different levels.

     

    For a last minute event, I think they've done quite well. The scheduling and access was awkward for sure, but I think the whole thing will be a learning experience. I ran one of the games at the event, and played in a different one. It was really interesting to see people who were logging in to SL for the first or second time ever have a blast playing D&D and wanting to play more past the four hour game time. I was on the game designer panel where we had RL game designers come inworld and answer questions from the 40~ person audience (which is something you rarely see outside a shopping event or club in my experience). So I believe it shows a lot of promise as an event and that anything at all that can help bring new people in to SL and bring them past the usual stigmas is a good thing.

    And I have a before/after pic. How things have changed. I remember joining SL because I saw it featured on TechTV and thought the idea of a game where I could make anything I wanted sounded really interesting.
