I decided to skip out, leaving after an hour under the guise of "going to be the bathroom." Instead I walked the Vendor Hall and unexpectedly came across Gygax at a table. Surprisingly, hordes of gamers were walking past him. So I approached, had a short but pleasant conversation and got his autograph.My friends played a 5 hour mediocre boardgame event, and I met a legend in the industry at what was one of his final appearances. That was a good moment.I might be waxing nostalgic, but I'm forever appreciative of the Trolls (and also Goodman and others) for preserving the legacy and history of the game, for giving us an opportunity to meet these people, for getting new material (or just updates) from these designers.</blockquote>
