I never expected the rooms to disappear the way they did; that's more of a Gen Con thing in my experience. I figure either there is another big event in downtown Columbus at the same time, or Origins suddenly got a lot bigger...

I'll be showing Dragon & Flagon and The Fog of War if anyone is interested in checking them out.

I've already spent my con allowance this year, but I'm interested in Origins for next year. How does it exactly work? I spend 30 to 50 dollars for a badge and then there is open gaming? Or do I need to purchase tickets for certain rooms? If I purchase a badge for certain rooms is it only good for X amount of time or the entire con?
Any of the ribbons that I've bought, such as for the CABS Board Room and the vaguely dirty Puffing Billy tournament, are good for the entire event. CABS/Origins doesn't offer per-day ribbons, so you'll pay $20 for one day, or for the whole tournament. CABS used to offer 2 hours for a generic ticket, but I'm pretty sure that they stopped that. PB used to offer the same, but I don't know how they work it now - way back when, games went off every 3 hours, so you could pay a ticket and get into a game.
There's open gaming, but it's of a 'bring your game, bring your friends, and find a table' nature. There's no matchmaking organization that doesn't involve spending a ticket or buying a ribbon.

1. Getting good response / feedback on my latest prototype, with publisher interest.
2. Playing the demo boss encounter of Dark Souls. I was the only person who tried the demo (as of the time I played it) who defeated the boss. It was fun. I can't speak to the rest of the game. But the boss encounter was cool.
3. Played Zombicide Black Plague... the intro scenario. It was fun, although too easy. I'm sure it gets much harder. It really confirmed that I think Massive Darkness will be fun.
4. Playing Xia: Legends of a Drift System with SuperflyTNT and Dave Roswell. I thought the game was cool, even though roll and move drives me up the wall.
5. Finally getting to play Thunder Road, with the above partners in crime. Another cool, fun old game, and again, roll and move. Grrr...
6. A 4 person game of Psycho Raiders. My partner and I were the psychos, chasing Pete and Dave as the campers. Dave thought his lovely ladies were going to escape, but a sinister Sheriff slowed him down. All 3 campers were felled in the same turn.
7. A dastardly 5 player game of Spartacus, on a lovely octagonal gaming table from boardgametables.com. I'm going to kickstart the Duchess, which was also on hand.
8. Getting to play Dungeon. What a fun, random game. Some player interaction would be nice.
9. A wild 5 player game of Fiasco that ran for perhaps too long, but it was hilarious. Dave's character ended the story missing 3 toes, part of an ear, and his balls.
The low point? SuperFlyTNT subjecting me to OctoDice.
