HighlightsGetting to actually get in a serious 20+ hours into my own Shackled City campaign with my gaming group (all but one member was at Gen Con this year). It was a good way to catch up on gaming time missed in july. Although, it was odd going out of our way to drive to Indy (from Montreal) and then spend so much time on our own campaign. Getting to try Dread. First off, this game is an absolute blast to play. I got to try it out late on Thursday (mmm, 10 PM to 2 AM is a great time to be playing a horror game. We actually managed to make it to about 2.5 hours before someone knocked over the Jenga tower. Props to these guys for their much deserved ENnie award.Iron DM. Great game. I really am curious about how some of the other DM's used the 3 themes this year (Mistaken Identity, Minotaurs and Magma). Our DM (DM Dude with his awesome hat) did a great job of putting together some really tough encounters. And what better way to end Iron DM than with a TPK?The exhibit hall had some great stuff this year, although for some reason it felt a little smaller, but that might just be because this is my second con. I did get some great deals, and finally was able to trade some of my extra D&D mini rares for the Beholder mini I've so long sought out. I picked up Savage Worlds after trying out the game. It was pretty fun. And I picked up most of the new books out at the green ronin booth (True20 and mutants and masterminds mostly). The best part of the con for me, though, were the people. I have to say, like last year, I am impressed with just what good people the gaming community is filled with. On Saturday after Iron DM I accidently forgot my unmarked bag of extra rare D&D minis at the table. This bag also included the Beholder mini I had been looking for. Altogether worth a few hundred dollars in minis. It would have been easy for someone to just grab the bag and run, no one would have ever caught them, but instead, they were returned untouched to the lost and found. I'd love to thank whoever that was, because it was really the best part of the con for me.</blockquote>
