Big thanks to Mike for stepping up when a family engagement (literally) intervened with my availability. I'm hoping to still make it to some Friday day gaming....

my goal at a lot of conventions is to play with as many different people as possible -- which usually lends itself to a lot of shorter games, or a few longer...
I've been to lots of Cons (BGG, Origins, GenCon, Geekway) and have fallen on both sides of this issue. Sometimes I'll go for long games, sometimes short ones....
... On the other side of the coin, I go to conventions specifically to play long games with people I don't know. I have plenty of local opponents for short...
One of my best gaming experiences period was a 6-player Game of Thrones with 3 newbies and 2 other experienced players. We actually ended up staggered and it...
I'm with Chris on this one. I can only think of one time I got into a long game with a stranger and it was suboptimal. Most of the time, I've made new friends...
