Devon and I had a great time seeing everyone again(and bidding against each other  :) ).

We didn't get to take a guided tour of the museum but the items were awesome to behold. The vendor hall was crowded and the gamer stench was an all time high. GenCon auction didn't have many highlights(best item was 3rd print woody in nice shape), though someone else can post more as we didn't stay for the collectors auction. We did pick up a few nice items including Dungeon Magazines 1-82.

Hope to see everyone again next year,
Shawn

Also wanted to thank Tim(twwii) for the great conversation and treating us to lunch.

$2300 (or was it $2500) was a fair price for it though. I bid it up to $1500, only because I was trying to make money this year at the auction... :wink:


RPG’s, D&D in particular has had a major influence in my life. It’s bonded me together with life long friends...it’s that bond in life not just as friends, but in our jokes, our mannerisms, and what we find funny. Invincible Overlord

I was there this year.  It's my first time going since it left Milwaukee.  

It's funny that someone mentioned gamer stench.  I didn't notice it hardly at all (maybe once when someone walked passed me), but my wife said it smelled really bad.  I didn't know you could build immunity to that smell!  I hope I wasn't a contributor!  :oops:
