Just today over email I wished Erik a great show. Erik and I were planning on grabbing a beer or dinner durring the show, but for personal reason I have had to change my plans and will not be attending GenCon this year. I wish Paizo all the best with their efforts. We need a strong, vibrant, and diverse RPG industry. If companies like Paizo fail, we all loose.The idea behind the promotion came up when we were exploring ways to make sure this GenCon was a great show for our fans. A few months ago we had a brain storming session and out of this we came up with some fun ideas to reward our customers who attended (and in some cases those who didn't attend). With the global economic issues we wanted to really support the con and make sure people keep coming back year after year. GenCon is our most important convention. Might I remind you it was only a little over a year ago when many of us thought it GenCon 2008 would not happen. This year we decided to put some extra effort into the convention because, like the industry comment above, when the GenCon is healthy we all benefit.So the real story behind promotion for $5PHBs is to give DMs and their groups some extra copies of the PHB and for players to get an extra copy for themsleves or a pass-along copy into the hands of a friend who is not currently playing.</blockquote>
