This past weekend was Music City Multicon, in Lebanon, TN. I've never been to it so this would be a never event for me.
I was approached by my friend Rob from the Sunday Murfreesboro Games (Formerly at the TEC) who asked me if I would run something as he took over the tabletop RPG coordination. Yes! I answered and sent him a two game offerings... One for SpaceFOE and one for Olympia.
Not knowing the level of attendance, I offered two games I offered at other events. And my experience with Multi-cons in general is... mixed at best. So running something fun that did not require too much prep time.
Saturday, I ran SpaceFOE, had a group of players come and explore a derelict starship. A fun group where more than half the party had never played the table top. Some played Baldur's Gate. Six players entered the Void's Gaze to try and plunder its many treasures...
I returned on Sunday to run an Olympia adventure. Again five players. Fun times.
Some takeaways, which I shared with Rob include:
- Having fixed 4h slots. I was lucky my slot on Saturday happened because I would've been stuck waiting for hours since nothing else started.
- Having 2h slots starting split into two will allows for more traffic (this one came from Rob)
- More publicity (this one came from Rob)
In all, this was a pretty positive experience. The only thing: I did not get to actually see anything else of the con. That's really on me. It's a lot harder when ActionMan isn't around... Strange how I miss my con buddy.
