But now that I have I just wanted to post some of my highlights:The Canadiana Suite: I want to give a big thank you to Dextra and Hellhound for hosting this. Above anything this made my Con this year. Saturday night in particular, sitting with Hellhound, Ranger Wicket, Crothian, Psion and the others who I've unfortunately forgotten thier names. I had probably some of the best conversations about gaming and got to learn about some games I wouldn't have otherwise even heard of (must find Dogs in the Vineyard). Capping this off with a riotessly funny game called ...In Space! run by Greg Stolze was raspberry-glazed icing on the cake.The ENnies: Wow. No doubt pictures of the Indiana Ballrom will be posted shortly but this place left me feeling like I was sitting in a gladiator ring for mexican gunfighters. Great location. The production was fantastic this year and a big round of applause goes to Dextra, Michael Morris, Piratecat and crew. It was simply amazing when you realize that when I first went to the ENnies three years ago, it was held on a stage in the hallway. I'm not sure what Pirtatecat does for a living but he could definately make a second career of public speaking.Psion's Traveller D20 Game: A game run by Psion and played with the likes of Teflon Billy and Jester47. The most fun you can have with a starship full of leather and water.The Dealer's Room: I'd been socking money away since February for the Con so I had came home with a lot of plunder. RPG-wise I picked up M&M 2 (third person in line on day one), Serenity (which is turning out to be a nice little system) and Confrontation 3 (OK, not an RPG but it's a HC so I've lumped it into the same category). I also picked up some great play aids including the full Squire set (came with a free t-shirt so how could I resist), a box of Tact-Tiles (amazing product, really looking forward to using them), and a dice tray from Koplow (now my players will be able to keep their rolls on the table). Beyond that I also picked up some obligatory baubles like an electronic D6 and a set of Rattler Eggs (this was the must-have toy of the Con thanks to the guys at Crystal Caste playing with them continuously). I also picked up an Axis and Allies starter, Hecatomb starter, a Star Wars Universe pack (just for a lark as I don't play the game) and a box of starters, boosters and expansion boosters for Wars (never played but have been interested for a while and they were CHEAP!). That's pretty much all I can remember and I know I missed a bunch of stuff have to go back and sort through it all.All in all my best Gencon yet and I defiantely have to hang out with more ENWorlders next year. You guys ROCK!!!Jack</blockquote>
