Thanks, Ed!

Hey Zachary? How do you Indy - not Indie! - guys stand those cicadas? Klax and I were shouting at each other to be heard over the noise! It about drove us mad!

You were just in a bad spot, I guess. That, or I've just learned to tune 'em out.

And with that, you've now heard the local Indy music scene.

What Cicadas???!!???

Dude, you must be imagining stuff.

The brood the Cinccinnati area has once every 17 years is much louder and much more noticeable.

That was just the mellow background music of the good 'ol midwest.

Well, when all is said and done, I really enjoyed reading this thread. Since I didn't get to go to Gen Con this year, I still feel like I got to see a little bit of the action. Thanks again Zach!

The Expeditious Retreat Press booth is always busy. And every year, they take home an ENnie.

Incidentally, that's Suzi Yee right there. She's been one of the rockinest folks at the con for many years; I always make it a point to have dinner with her and husband Joe (the readheaded fellow in the black shirt, and my DRM-bashing ninja) every year. She oozes happy, and she's immense fun to game with.

No sweat, Zach. And, hey, man, let me extend my sincere gratitude for your efforts, mister; thanks for getting me a bit close to the action.

I still need my drink, though. Chop-chop!

Oh, isn't she awesome? She's so incredibly nice and cheerful, went out of her way to say hi to me, and even wished me luck on my judge nod!

Thanks for this thread Zachary! It was much appreciated at the Con as well as away.

Thanks for the kind words on the Gamemaster Syndicate!

I also have an answer to one of your other questions:

Quote from: Zachary The First-Where the hell is Iron Crown? Guys, you have HARP, you have Rolemaster, and Gen Con has the biggest gathering of traditional gamers this side of anywhere. Come, let us embrace you!

Iron Crown Enterprises will most likely be at Gencon and Origins this next year. We've been working with them on maps and adventures and expect to continue over the next little while.
