I hate to say it, but I was pleasantly surprised by how pleasant and generally cool our little community is. All of the other judges were great to talk to and Joseph Miller was En World's slave for the Ennies and deserves much more swag than he took. The dealer's room was okay. I was a little disappointed in the amount of announcements. Outside of Green Ronin's Thieves World, I can't remember anything knocking my socks off.I think Gen Con will be bigger next year, but fear it won't be from RPGs, but rather, board games, card games and computer games. Nothing wrong with the shift in focus, but it becomes a convention I don't need to go to.I didn't do any gaming, but did a lot of miniature painting. Gen Con has a Paint & Take section where you can paint and take home a miniature. I managed to get into that feature twice. Also did some reading amongst all the walking.A lot of new miniatures were here and some very hard to find miniatures. I picked up quite a few from Magnificant Ego and a limited edition Harbringer figure from the Harbringer magazine (I subed with #3 so missed the first limited edition miniature.)I was disappointed that Atlas didn't have their new Dungeoneer games or new Penumbra (Seven Civilizations), but otherwise happy with new releases. On the board game front, I finally picked up the crate expansion for Apples to Apples. Good stuff there.Indianapolis itself was an interesting experience for me. Last year I was only there for the Con for a day. This year I walked around quite a bit. Coming from Chicago, Indianapolis is very small, especially their downtown area. Their downtown area is in essence, a suburb of Chicago. Took me forever to find a Bank One and I didn't see any of the famous chains outside. A lot of the fast food places were inside, like Subway, but not on the street. Very interesting experience.Once again, best part, meeting fellow En Worlders. Great to put some faces to the names.</blockquote>
