Where it all began, huh?

Oooh, interesting. Looks like we'll get some new revelations (hopefully more art and perhaps the covers of the Core books, perhaps) next Sunday!

At least something of interest, no doubt.

This is the door to the basement of Gary’s house. It says “Entrance War Games Rooms”. Gary’s wife said the players who showed up weren’t allowed to walk through the house anymore and had to take the side stairs to the basement.

The problem with all the good gaming Cons is that they get too big. For me, Gen Con is that way, and Game Hole Con is getting there. I know a lot of people who go to Gary Con and it sounds like it's reaching capacity too.

I hope you went to Founders & Legends then! It felt an awful lot like my first time attending Gary Con (for III in 2011), seeming like every fourth or fifth person you saw was a former TSR employee or at the very least recognizable from the earliest days of roleplaying.

Pretty excited for Gary Con, too; I am sure Luke Gygax wants to keep it in Lake Geneva, but I do wonder if they will try to get creative about how to grow its attendance going forward or if this year's cap will just become the cap every year.

For that matter, I really hope Founders & Legends becomes a yearly precursor to Gary Con, even if I do not think that is the plan.

DM swag at GaryCon!

And the reg line! But it went super fast!

Awesome! That's myself and my daughter playing at your table. The guy behind us was another player we met. I also got to meet @diaglo there.
