AWESOME!
Dude, these are So cool!! Thanks, FC, for providing those. Presto's Council connection is hillariously perfect! *g*
Oddly enough (or not so odd at all, really, all things considered...) I think my brain is now trying to convert my other fannish love (superheroes) into Unisystem craziness...
(Quick, somebody stop me before I make a Gotham City Unisystem event with Batman missing and Arkham's gates wide open....)
And yeah, I'm sure I'll love Firefly/Serenity... ..just haven't gotten to it yet.

Man, what a great day of gaming. I haven't gotten a chance to DM something in quite a while and it was an absolute blast, and naturally so was being on the other side of the screen.
I'm upset I didn't get a picture of me holding the evil codex which has joined my collection of books thanks to the prize drawing. I of course, refer to Synnibarr... I swear, all of my other books are afraid of it. I think they'd probably try and run away from the book if it put any of my other gaming books near it.
Huge thanks to our wonderful hosts at Game Plus--I'll be back up there to make some actual purchases soon, I promise. (Had no shopping time since my game lasted until the start of the prize drawing!)
Many, many thanks to Chris, Brian, Jim, Dale, and William for putting up with my rusty DMing skills, and sharing many many laughs with me during my (apparently record-holding) longest game in the morning. You guys were a blast to play with, and reminded me what a good marathon D&D session felt like.
Big thanks to pbartender and all of my fellow players in the White Plume Mountain game. Iron Heroes is a really neat system, and really, I'm half tempted to pick it up just to toss a few elements of it into my games at home. It was an honor to play with you all in a goofy first edition classic.
I took a bunch of pictures, and I'll get them up in a while, and post a link here.
And thanks to anyone and everyone I forgot!

*follows FC's Unisystem superhero link & reads thread...*
*BARELY resists clawing his own eyes out*
Yeeeeeeeeeaaah.
That'd be why I don't read comics anymore, lol. And why my thought was a Gotham adventure WITHOUT Batman. He's just.... ...too much. Unisystem stats could reflect him, sure, but his character point cost would be in the triple digits. And not start with a one, either.
Also, the whole "D&D kids are Scoobies who help the Slayer" was WAY cool, Hank's practically the Head Scooby, Presto's Council connection, etc etc... ..it gave a REASON to be using Unisystem. I suppose there's no reason I couldn't run a vigilante superhero game using Unisystem rules if I wanted to, but given the number of OTHER superhero games out there that are DESIGNED to reflect them properly.... ..maybe I should allow this urge to pass, heh. Then again, playing ANYTHING in Unisystem is Just Plain Fun, so meh. We'll see.
Probably what it all really depends on is what randomness crosses my mind when the next GameDay planning thread starts, heh.
Thanks for pointing that out though, FC! If I DO decide to do it, that'll give me a lot of ideas... ..both of how to do it, and how NOT to. *g*

I've put up my photos from Gameday in Flickr.

Before I add descriptions, I want to make sure I've got names and details correct.
Paints galore at the morning minis table.
JoeGKushner, Talgian (?), Beachbaker (?), and Painfully paint minis. Who's in the background?
Beachbaker(?), Talgian(?), Painfully, JoeGKushner, Mark apply pigments to tin.
The horror! TracerBullet42, sw3333, Reidzilla, Sharraunna, and spacepirat3 learn wat it really means to be a hero in the morning M&M2e game.
Our prize pile joins together in a losing battle to knock Synnibar off the table.
Games in the morning slot, and someone obviously coveting the dice from the prize pool.
Going around the table: Ninjacat, Redwind, Nazriel, FCWesel, Yort, Der Spot. Please note Der Spot's full-on Mal Reynolds look; it's all the rage this summer to aim to misbehave.
It wouldn't be gaming if there wasn't wholly unhealthy food involved. Look upon our strudel and despair!
Talgian watches his WFRP2 character die (or lose a limb or something, c'mon), as Beachbaker, Painfully, and Mark ponder color schemes.
GORAK, Talgian, and JoeGKushner in the WFRP2 event; Beachbaker, Painfully, and Mark do minis in the background. waterdhavian quite likely is rolling consecutive 1s in the foregournd in Trevalon's morning D&D event.
Trevalon looks on in devilish DM glee as (from left to right) Thorindale, William Ronald, pucky, winterminute57 (?), and waterdhavian scan the rulebooks. Alas, Evard's spiked tentacles of forced intrusion is not in the PHB.
Redizilla is agape at the sheer amount of fun Sharraunna, TracerBUllet42, spacepirat3, and sw3333 are having scanning their character sheets. Alas, Evard's spiked tentacles of forced intrusion is not listed on them, either.
rvalle, Pbartender, and pvt. patterson get ready to pop some mad wheelies in my Burning Wheel event.
Redwind and Mrs. FCWesel bear witness to the tabletop carnage in TracerBullet42's afternoon D&D event, "Deadding Day".
Diremede(?), TracerBullet42, sw3333, and Redwind in "Deadding Day".
The battle with White Plume's vampire in Pbartender's IH event. Notice how my archer valiantly cheers on her comrade's efforts from a discrete distance.
Battling teh crabbe who's hat of our party know no limit. But, where is my archer, you ask?
Why, she's valiantly cheering on their efforts from a discrete distance, of course. In IH, archer + Defense challenge + out of melee range = "unleash hell".
Ditto.
Look, the crab thing was funny, okay?
thalmin, Ninjacat (behind him), pvt. patterson, Mark, and Reidzilla enjoy The Greast Space Race.
The "Deadding Day" crew: TracerBullet42, sw3333, Redwind, Mrs. FCWesel, rvalle, and Diremede(?). Mark is on the far right, probably saying somehting remarkably witty.
Same event: rvalle, Diremede(?), TracerBullet42, sw3333, Redwind, MRS. FCWesel.
Gameday heads into the black with the afternoon Serenity event: salmacis' guest, salmacis, Sharraunna, Nazriel, FCWesel, and Mal... er, Der Spot. I blieve Games Plus' own Bob is in the foreground right. Not sure who is foreground center.
The afternoon Dread game says "Peace out!", eventually joining The Great Space Race. Reidzilla, pvt. patterson, Ninjacat.
Paintin' minis. thalmin's off to the left, and Beachbaker to the right. I'm not sure who is center. Help!
More mini love with Painfully, Mark, and...
thalmin lays out The Great Space Race.
Heroes prepare to get Ironed. Pbartender (well, his hands; notice the cat wounds), Trevalon Moonleirion, waterdhavian, and Yort.
Pbartender readies his giant crab as Trevalon carbs up for the forthcoming melee.
Another pic of my IH minis. Sue me.
FCWesel, almost a little too happy about winning one of the GenCon passes.
salmacis' guest (known as Holly by some) displays a more appropriate degree of satisfaction at winning the other GenCon pass.
The Fight That Would Not End™ in Trevalon's morning game.
The shiny, candy-like GenCon passes.
Our humble prize table.
winterminute57, waterdhavian, pucky, Thorindale, Trevalon in Trev's morning game.
FCWesel obviously exaggerating about the size of something in his morning Buffy/Angel event. Yort is likely unconvinced.
Ninjacat, Redwind, Nazriel, FCWesel, Yort, and Der Spot. I believe that's salmacis' arm in the foregrgound.

George is the bearded paintmaster unknown to you. He helped my out with the pinning of the Fiendish Harpy (Sorcerer) that nearly ate William Ronald's Pixie Rogue in today's game. 
It's my gift and your curse.
