Nope. I only went to PAX West for a single day to demo a game that isn’t even mine—as a kind of karmic favor. I only like board games (and comics).

I'm persnickety about what belongs in a product. Often, less really is more. That said though, there aren't many components I would cut. In fact, I would probably add a first-time-you-play-X cheat sheet for each character. It's mainly the rules cruft and scenario edge cases that hold it back.
