Message: <blockquote data-quote="GlassJaw" data-source="post: 2508269" data-attributes="member: 22103">Wow.  That about sums it up.  This was my first GenCon and it was even better than I anticpated.  Some of my show highlights:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The sense of community from all the EN Worlders I met was awesome.  Having that common thread (no pun intended) right off the bat made things a lot more fun.  Putting the screen names to the real names to the faces was great.  I'll admit that I got a little crazy signing up for events so I did miss out on some of the pickup games but I plan to remedy that next year!</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">12 hours of straight gaming - I played from 8:00-8:00 (Thieves' World, Conan, and then Arcana Evolved with Varianor) on Thurs and didn't even make it into the exhibit hall the first day!</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Gaming with Rob Schwalb from Green Ronin -  I was lucky to be able to play in 2 games with Rob: Thieves' World and Freeport.  Rob is an amazing DM who has extensive knowledge of human anatomy and bodily fluids.  Both games were a blast and we had the pleasure of gracing him with his ever first con TPK in our Freeport game (I was the last one standing).  I was also able to have Lynn Abbey sign my copy of Thieves' World.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The ENnies - The ENnies were awesome.  Everyone involved did an amazing job and seeing so many people from the industry was very cool.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">True Dungeon - Carl and I played the tower and even though I didn't make it to the last room, I managed to get the treasure out of the well under the grating.  I ended up with a necklace of fireballs that I promptly sold for 900gp, bringing my total to an even 1000gp.  I defintely want to do TD again next year with some fellow EN Worlders.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Privateer Press/Warmachine - I loved the Privateer booth and the new Warmachine products were unbelievable.  I was in complete fanboy mode at the booth.  I got to talk to Ali McVey (who paints all the models in the books) about painting (I need to start over!) and Matt Wilson signed the prints I bought (which were gorgeous).</li> </ul>Other random thoughts: - I got to check out the Shadowrun 4ed demo but I couldn't get my hands on a copy.  SR4 was probably one of the hottest items at the con. - I now understand why more than 2 people said they take the day off from work the day after a con.  Very sleepy today.</blockquote>
