[QUOTE="vrykyl, post: 3720690, member: 3644"] I was only there for the beginning, but what a beginning it was! In addition to the trailers for [i]The Gamers: Dorkness Rising[/i] and the new Dragonlance animated movie, there was the hysterical Killer Breakfast Safety Instructions (starring several of the younger Hickmans, and it has been a repeated treat for the last few years). This year it was PHANTOMS OF RAVENLOFT -- a return to the horror classic that Tracy and Laura created so many years ago that spawned an entire campaign world, sung to the music of Andrew Lloyd Weber's PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. The opening number was something I will never forget! I was a "celebrity" guest victim, along with Margaret Weis and actor Jason Marsden ("Tasslehoff" in the upcoming Dragonlance movie). My explanation for just how I got there drew a few laughs ("I'm not sure, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.") and kept me alive at first. Another player at the table claimed he had journeyed to Barovia just to get my autograph on his copy of the Battlestar Galactica RPG. When Lord Soth stepped into the Barovian tavern I knew I was doomed, but flashed my tattoo identifying me as a member of the Brotherhood of the Celestial Torch (see the Demon Hunters films by Dead Gentlemen Productions). This was made more impressive because there were about nine other members of the Brotherhood inthe audience who immediately jumped to their feet and displayed their own tattoo. Poor Margaret got killed for product placement, and then Jason's heroics resulted in about three times his character's hit points in damage -- but he promptly transmogrified into a Tyrannosaurus Rex. The beserk dinosaur either ate or stomped everyone in the tavern, including the attractive girl who was dancing next to me (in real life, as well as the game!).
