We had a local Sci_Fi / Game convention this weekend.

Compared to recent years there was more open gaming space. With several openings, I decided to run an RPG game at convention for the first time in many years. Since it was on my mind. I decided to run a DARK SUN game using the Genesys game system. I spent a couple hours at home creating Pre -gens and developing the MINIMUM story concepts to run a game.

I felt the game went OK. but one player in particular had the cursed dice syndrome. While it was nice for him to take extra maneuvers and give bonus dice to others, it limited his particular face time. As a GM how do you help mitigate 5 failures in a row for a CONVENTION ONE SHOT? I feel I should institute a convention rule. After 3 failure in a row, spend a story point for a success,,,,

Even with these problems, today I saw that one of the players in my game (Not the cursed one) had bought a pair of Genesys dice and was using his character sheet from my game to explain the system to another person.

I must have not done things too poorly....
