Some of the pictures I took at GenCon:

Acaeum dinner, at the Rathskeller.  From the left, Tim, bbarsh (who spent a lot of time on his phone at the dinner), IO, and at the end of the table, Yaya.



Again from the dinner.  Contrarian, Susan (stratochamp's wife), Baby stratochamp (aka Billfer), stratochamp, tacojohn and his friend (whose name escapes me).



Acaeum dinner.  Stratochamp and baby stratochamp in the foreground.  Blackmoor's son Rohan at the left, with Blackmoor (Jeff), Tim and bbarsh (again on the phone).



IO (Andy), enjoying himself.



Yaya and Frank.



The exhibit hall, before the general opening.  VIG's and press get early entry on Thursday, one hour before the hordes.



The exhibit hall entry, hordes waiting patiently.



And in they come . . . .



The exhibit hall, with hordes.



The Burntwires' and Lawrensons' booth.



The Goodman Games booth.



Goodman Games goodies for sale.



Tim's game, High in the Hellgate Mountains, for the Acaeum.



And from the other end of the table.



Frank and Tim, auctioneers extraordinaire.  That's Jon Huston, of Troll and Toad, in the foreground.



My game for Acaeum members.  Based on the pictures, I'm not sure I ever sat down.  Clockwise around the table, from me:  IO (Andy), obviously having picked up a habit from bbarsh, on the phone; Rohan (Blackmoor's son); Prufrock (Martin), chair currently empty, as he is behind the camera; Blackmoor (Jeff); stratochamp; Robbie, Rabbit-67's son; and Rabbit_67 (Jim).





Rares (such as they were) at the auction:







Come to me, my little Geomorphs . . . .



One new thing I did this year was attend Hickman's Killer Breakfast Saturday morning (which, contrary to the name, does NOT in fact provide breakfast).  It was an absolute blast, and I would highly recommend it.  And you even get Frank and Tim as guests.  Not that they aren't summarily killed, just like everyone else.



Check out Tim's hat on this picture.





And shortly after that, my camera's battery died, and I discovered I hadn't brought the charger with me.  

Damn Bracton, I take good pics with your camera.  Chrisma of the group was +4 with me behind the camera.  The game was fantastic.  Everyone enjoyed it.

I don't think so.  That's DCC#7, The Secret of Smuggler's Cove.  It has the logo for the NTRPG Con on the back.  Is there another version of this?

The Secret of Smuggler's Cove

Sounds like an adventure for the Hardy Boys

I was thinking it might be the regular version of 1E DCC #7 (the non NTRPG con version).

By zooming in on the picture, I can tell it's The Golden Palace of Zahadran (DCC #32).  It also looks a lot like a single page when zoomed, rather than a module.  The other modules all are shiny, with some bending apparent.  That one is flat, and it's a very short pile.  So I'm pretty confident this is just a flyer.  Maybe grodog or tacojohn can confirm.

Pretty sure that was the cover, not a flyer

Thanks for the pictures, Bracton.  Very nice.

Can anyone identify the players around the table in Tim Kask's game?

Starting with Tim, going clockwise around the table:

Mark (Yaya)
Devon (Burntwire)
Andy (Invincible Overlord)
Martin (Profrock)
Mark (Bracton); empty chair only, as I am behind the camera for the picture
Bill (stratochamp)
Angela (Saxon Angel; aka Mrs. Blackmoor)
Rohan (Blackmoor's son)
Jeff (Blackmoor)
Uh . . . Gus Landt, I think?
Uh . . . not sure.  
Malc (Lawrenson)

If anyone can fill in my two blanks/questions, please do so.  Sorry for not recalling.
