Funny. I've never met anyone named Brannon in my life. At GenCon, I meet two, and I never saw them apart.

Yea, Hall (as I am fond of calling him) and I are old friends from way back, one-time roommates, and we share a brain - literally. ;) He's also a D20 freelance artist who does a ton of work for MEG, Bastion, and Bottled Imp Games... ;)

I just posted my Gencon report in my blog so feel free to check it out. My friend assembled probably the largest collection of costume photes at the con. These should be available sometime tommorrow. Once again I'd like to tay thanks to all the ENWorlders who stopped by my booth (especially those who bought a subscription ;) ) it was great to meet you and I'm looking forward to next year.

SIGH...no mention of an dashingly handsome and brilliant tiefer I see - nor of his tireless self promotion of DireKobold.com..... ;)


"DireKobold.com ROCKS!"
- me, at the top of my voice, everytime I saw Ross...... :D

Bah, I went to the best club of all - the convention center! It was open 24 hours a day, after all. And, as already mentioned, I was blocked from entering the dance club. Dinner was fantastic, though - much thanks for helping me find that place, I'll be back there next year for sure. And I'll even eat the cole slaw ;)

I'm paying for that stunt now, though. I haven't gone so many days without sleep since exam week my first semester of college. I'm still nodding in and out at odd times - think I'll take a nice nap at work before finishing my Saturday and Sunday report...

Yea, and we had the best waiter ever! ;) I think next year I'll need to leave my dancin' shoes at home - seems that most gamers don't dance.... :p

You know how you get the friendly little announcements in the mail that someone has posted a reply to one of your subscribed threads? The minute I saw that Ashy had responded I thought, "Oh he probably read my blog, that's cool." And then I thought, "Oh crap I totally forgot to mention the dashingly handsome and brilliant tiefer and his tireless promotion of my website." (It's amazing how prescient I was ;) )

Yes indeed this GenCon I finally got to meet the legendary Brannon Hollingsworth. But as much as has been written in song and lore about this mythic figure, scant attention has been paid to his hat, and let me tell you what a hat it is. If I had to put it in game terms I would say it would be the equivelant of a +6 cloak of charisma, that's how attractive it was.

Also I would have to agree with francisca. To have never met a single Brannon in your life and then to meet two... Let's just say it could only happen in the south... ;)
 

ROTFL!!!!!

Yea, I have to wear the hat in public because of my horns! ;) I *am* a tiefer, after all! Speakin' of which - did you ever get yourself one? If not, let me know what size, I'll be happy to whip my gnomish mage into submission and have him craft one for you! :)

Yea, only in the south.......hey - waitaminute! :p
 

a +6 Hat of Charisma and Fishhook Holding, although he forgot the fishhooks...

I have the same hat, but I only wear it when I want to pass out by a stream at the end of a pole :D

(FYI... I have been gaming with him for 10 years and I was Hellhound and Dextra's third stalker :D (with Croathian and Lord Apoch) at Origins)

Just thought you'd like to know... We picked up Buffy from Eden Studios (Angel was stuck at the printers <pout>) and we're going to start playing it next week after we have a DVDBuffy-thon. We'll be thinking of you- can't wait to play Buffy next year!

the other 2 guys were very nice, and polite and friendly, but not nearly boisterous to sink names into me that late in the day and after a few shots :) i think the first is howwhy something, the other i am lost on, tho he sat by me for a while and was nice :)

It's actually kind of funny.

Clay must have asked five or six times what my posting name was, but time, distance, and alcohol were all working against him. You need to lay off the premium booze! :)

The other two members of the picture were me (with the glow on my shiny head) and my friend... whose screen name escapes me at the moment. I think he posts here as Gronkzilla.

We had a hell of a time for our first GenCon.

We only made it out on Saturday, but we live close enough to Indy to scoot back down on Sunday for alsih2o's bar gathering (which was a blast).

I got to meet a lot of the people who write the books I love so much, a bunch of the cool ENWorld folks that I only knew online before, and even got a chance to talk briefly to Monte Cook.

NEXT year, I'm going to pre-register ($#&*-ing LINES) and get in on a bunch of the games...
