I just got back from Dreamation, and I had a blast!
The con was in Morristown, New Jersey—a beautiful town with great restaurants, shops, and history. It's only about a 30-minute train ride from NYC, which makes it convenient for people who live in the city or any of its suburbs.
Dreamation is one of my favorite cons because it has such an intimate feel: there are always plenty of spaces for panels and gaming sessions full of friends rather than strangers trying to make conversation.
This year Dreamation had 15M Finance as their sponsor, and they did an amazing job making sure everything ran smoothly from registration to programming to the vendor hall. I played six sessions worth of games this year—all of them fantastic! Check this list:

  • The Quiet Year (new RPG)
  • Fate Core (GM'd a session)
  • Smallville: The Roleplaying Game (played by one character)
