Man-Con is a tradition started by Enron, Aeryk and myself last year, nominally its purpose is to celebrate our birthdays. It takes place at an Embassy Suites near the Kubla hotel. We choose one role-playing game and just play that for the whole weekend. Last year we played 4th ed D&D. The idea being that 1) role-playing is awesome 2) it's hard to schedule it without a specific date for it 3) it's impossible to do at Kubla due to all the other things going on (although Denis made a good stab at it this year).
Pros:
- Very low-drama and chill compared with Kubla
- Focused on one game the whole time (with periodic breaks)
- The hotel has free booze from 5-7
Cons:
- We play RPGs, which I know you're not crazy about....
