[QUOTE="Henry, post: 1628337, member: 158"] Actually, he kind of admits he's out of touch - hadn't been to Origins in 10 years, had been out of the industry during the 90's to make a living, etc. It sounds overall like he had the same feeling about Origins this year as I did when I went in 1998. My ONLY trip to Origins, and I swear the last. The "RP Games" portion of the convention is quite poor from my experiences, and just not worth the trip time to me. From his description of the Designer's award program, it sounds like the ENnies came off as professionally as the Oscars. Russ, Peter A, Mike M, etc. did a great job, AND had fun with it, but PROMISE ME YOU GUYS that we'll never have a rapping Hobbit onstage. :D NOR a man playing a saw. NOR a hobbit playing a saw. In the end, though, Greg seems to have found the real joy of a convention in the first place - meeting up with old friends, making new ones, and having fun in the company you keep, not just the gaming. I'm glad it wasn't a total loss for him. [/QUOTE]
