For those of you who don't know him, all I can say is :seize the opportunity should it present itself. Mark was a blast to hang out with, equal parts intense and laid-back. His finest hour was (in my opinion) when he, using the single most half-assed, cockeyed load of bull<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> imaginable, managed to get Morrus, Al (who will be mentioned later) and myself past on hour long line up for the venerable Safe House. It was a thing a of beauty, becasue there was, quite literally no way in hell it should have worked. Mark made it work <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Morrus: I roomed with Morrus in the ENnies judges suite, and found him to be every bit as cool as you would expect from reading his interaction on these boards. He was very, very British (and I mean that in only the best sense of the term; dry, reserved, witty). </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Morrus's Friend Al: I think everyone who met Al was quite taken with him. He is close to the dictionary definition of "Socially at ease", slipping from conversation to cnversation with ease. He joined the RPGA while at Gen Con and had nothing but good to say about Nemmerle's adventure. Al intends to begin posting here on these boards when he gets back to England under the Nom De Plume Inconsiqenti-Al. Make him feel welcome, the boards will be the better for it<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">M. Jason Parent: The board's own Hellhound was to be the ENNie's "Giant Killer"...the only entrant to beat WotC in a category in which they were entered. Portable Hole Full of Beer carried the day in it's category, and it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy! Jason was going to run a game of Villains and Vigilantes on saturday afternoon, but some jack-off stole his copies of the (out-of-print) V&V rules. If the thief is reading this post I want them to know there's a special place in hell for them<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" /> </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hal Greenberg and the gang from Thunderhead Games: Hal and the crew were a fun bunch o spend time with: lively, voluble companions who (inadvertently) were the force used by Creative Mountain to grease us in the doors at the Safe House. So THG, take heart. Your name is apparently Gold in Milwaukee. When THG says "Jump"...Milwaukee asks "How High?" <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">: Claudio Pozas and the guys from Fiery Dragon: I've seen Claudio's work online, but I was unprepared for the beautiful pencil work portfolio that he showed me. I knew he was talented, but until tht moment I had no idea he was immensely talented. As for his cohorts at Fiery Dragon, I'll just say what everyone says after meeting them: These are good guys. I didn't spend a great deal of time with them, but I put a lot of stock in first impressions. Also, their poster for upcoming product Atomic City was something I wish I could've bought. I may well buy the supplement itself based on the cover art (and "don't judge a book by it's cover" be damned).</li> </ul>I'll post more after I've had a bite to eat and am alittle more relaxed. But all told, this was a great con<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
