Fun fact: apparently Gary Con started after Gygax's funeral. His family and friends were all there, unsurprisingly a lot were gamers, and you can guess what started.

Ironically it's probably a good way to remember the guy.

Now we need a Lorraine Williams "Dragon Lady" mini to fight them.

Whatever your viewpoints on Williams, remember that most gamers view dragons positively...

I have played virtually for the last decade or more so I no longer need minis but I just bought these.

The photo seems to show not great casts. There is a lot of pitting. That can sometimes be the result of using too much mold release or powder in the rubber mold. It can also be problems with the pewter. Or it could just be a bad picture - hard to say.

There are ways to prep the minis if you want a smoother finish. I believe it was Jérémie Bonamant Teboul, a French miniatures designer and painter who used watered down milliput to smooth miniature to gain a better painting surface. It is an extra step, but depending on your desired level of painting might be worth the time.

Yes. "GaryCon 0" it is sometimes referred to as. I believe I saw Allan Grohe talk about it in an interview not long ago.

And quite sincerely, GaryCon is a great way to commemorate Gary and the other creators.

Plus with the paint and glue fumes, who needs cocaine?

Losing the finger prints to superglue also naturally lends itself to a life of crime!

I usually only buy cheap minis, but I couldn't resist.
