So I've been on Cat-Con XXX

Well, like the title says, I've been on Cat-Con XXX.

The basics

• What is Cat-Con ? Well it's a little local Convention at Cat-Cafe in Ulm, Germany.
• What was up ? Well lot's of game sessions were held. I guess over 100 visitors were there and probably 20+ RPG sessions were held. Also dozens of Miniature Battles and a few local Tabletop-Tournaments were held (alphabetic order: AT-43, Warmachines, WH-40k).
• Pegasus Support provides most of Pegasus portfolio on the German market as "try it out" variant. This year's special was an official SR4 GM - though I was a little bit surprised as Call of Cuthulu is part of that portfolio and the younger system (release date of the German translation).
• Imp's Shop (Ulm) provided a Con-shop (RPG & TT stuff).
  
• It seems that DSA 4 (The dark eye), Cuthulu, Shadowrun 3 & 4 are the most vital RPG-systems on that Con. There were some more exotic games (at least declared, but I cannot check everything) like Dogs in the Vineguard, Macho-Weiber-mit-dicken-Kanonen, Barbaren, Starwars D6 and others.

My activities
Well I spent most of my Saturday afternoon and evening getting used to Warmachines Mk. II and later (well so around 21:00h) on I joined a 7 hours long Starwars D6 game. Took some sleep during the early morning hours and then went on to take part in the Warmachines Tournament.

Both in Star Wars as well as in the tournament the dice weren't with me.

I mean I fried half a dozen blasters in Star Wars and caused some biohazzard stuff in that scenario. In the tournament I wasn't able to score points.

However the whole thing thought me two things:

• Lucky dice are a BAD, BAD, invention.
• Warmachine is far more complex then I expected. Try again & beat them. And don't get your caster knocked down because your opponent bull-rushes one of his/her own Jacks with a bigger Jack right into your caster ...

Conclusions (my D10 System)
Oh, and some of the chatting on Cat-Con inspired me to dabble again on my "old" D10 system. Well it once came into a pretty active testing-phase until I had to spend more energy on other stuff. And there are some known issues that I still remember that have to be fixed.
So expect some postings on that topic.
