Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jeff Wilder" data-source="post: 2513141" data-attributes="member: 5122">I had a super-busy GenCon schedule, so I didn't get to meet as many ENWorlders as I'd have liked, and those I met I only met in passing.  Still, everybody was very nice.  (I have a snapshot of Buttercup and Suzi Yee on my Treo 650 ... as soon as I get it downloaded, I'll post it.  It was taken at Buca de Beppo, prior to their scoring a bagload of free food.)My GenCon highlights were:(1) Playing Mutants & Masterminds for the first time, and with a GM who genuinely gets what comic books are supposed to feel like.  (Unfortunately, getting into this game caused me to miss the ENnies.)(2) Meeting Mark of CMG and playing in two of his excellent games.  Mark is a seriously talented DM, with a knack for pacing and keeping things fun for everybody.  I highly recommend joining one of his games at a future con.(3) Playing in some Sealed Booster D&D minis.  I didn't do so hot (finishing 2-2, 3-2, and 2-2 over three events), but the experience was still great.  (In my third event, I lost twice in a row due to Ulmo being critted and failing the subsequent morale save.  The odds of the combo crit-and-fail is about 66-to-1.  To have it done twice in a row ... well, let's just say I haven't had much luck in D&D minis.)(4) The Exhibit Hall, as always.  I could wander in there for six hours a day.I gotta say, this was the best GenCon in recent memory.  (This year was my 20th GenCon ... I've only missed two since I first started going in 1984.)  I only had one really bad experience (in the seven-card stud tournament), and many great ones.Anyway, those few of y'all I managed to meet, it was a pleasure.  Hopefully I'll meet more of y'all and spend more time at ENWorld functions next year.</blockquote>
