Put that in your sig <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  I played and ran in the Blackmoor campaign, and as usual had a great time.  I don't know what it is, but the players in that campaign are so down to earth.  I even volunteered to run an early Saturday game for the group I ran on Thursday, forgoing my plan to sleep in, just because they were so cool.  I was able to play in a sneak peak of Blackmoor 4E, and can't wait for that book.  Of course the best part of Gen Con, and the reason we go, is to see friends.  As we get older, in our mid-30's now, the people we grew up gaming with are spread out all over the country.  Ten of us made it to Gen Con this year, coming in from four different states.</blockquote>
