Last year I scheduled to run two games at ConnectiCon with mixed success. I'm thinking of running games again for this year's ConnectiCon but I'm a little on the fence about it. When I ran my Chaos Earth game there was interest in both the game itself as well as Rifts in general, but my Heroes Unlimited game only had one interested player so it didn't happen.
For this year I'm thinking of doing a Rifts game and a Chaos Earth game, but I'm also contemplating a Savage Rifts game (I'll decide once I get my physical books and can really dig through the system). I still have a few months before I need to provide my submissions and I thought I'd try and collect some feedback on what other people have done at various Cons and their successes. Heroes Unlimited is my favorite game and the fact that it fell flat was real disappointing.
I have two Palladium Rifts games in mind - one which is an investigation/mystery with the players as Coalition soldiers trying to figure out why a Coalition research outpost/town went silent, and the other would be an action/adventure romp set within the final battle of the Mechanoids adventure. The Chaos Earth game I'm contemplating is also an action/adventure romp which would basically be the final battle of Resurrection. I haven't fleshed out any one of these ideas more than the others at this point.
I'm just sort of "thinking out loud" at this point. Really, I'm meandering around the question of how Palladium-based Con games tend to go for others.

Re: ConnectiCon 2017
I tend to want to play in games that are different, so I would go with the investigation/mystery one.

Re: ConnectiCon 2017
i submitted to run the same Chaos Earth game I ran last year (and at the last open house), and also a Rifts game which sees the players as CS Soldiers investigating a remote outpost and town which has gone mysteriously silent.
