We start gaming Thursday night after everyone gets off of work, everyone takes Friday off, then we play till Sunday afternoon. We stay up as late each night and begin each day as early as possible. Everyone brings their own sleeping gear and crashes either on my kids beds (kids go out of town with mom that weekend) or on the couch or floor. Everyone brings bags and bags of chips and boxes of cereal and other random food including coolers filled with pop and lunchmeat etc. So far we've done it twice, each time where one DM ran one long marathon game, but since I did it last I will be lobbying for multiple shorter games. Either way its an extremely fun event and strains everyones stamina. It gives everyone one more thing to geek-brag about, ie, "We played for 20 hours straight, got up after 4 hours, and played another 20 hours straight... yes, I'm a geek " We have a yearly get-together we call “John-Con” since its at my house (I’m John) and it was started as a tradition after we added up how much a trip to GenCon was going to cost us.

I would be great is RPG publishers would help financially back small scale cons all over the states. I would attempt it but the cash is the biggest problem. This is a n awesome idea.

I'm currently in a gaming group of 8, and all of us love GMing. A cabin con like this, even if it's just at someone's house for a day, might be really popular. I'll suggest it to my group, and let you know how it goes.
