Honestly, I don’t remember most of my convention games that I run, good or bad. I’m too busy running the game that my brain can’t spare any room for remembering things, I guess.
I think if I’m emotionally able to run a game at all I’m able to separate the game experience from me personally; if I’m in a place where I won’t be able to do that I’ll usually just cancel the game tbh. Which is kind of shitty but hey, here we are.
