Time zones are confusing. It is 7pm on Sunday here in Japan, but 5am in Lake Geneva, from what I gather. So, that puts me fourteen hours in your future! It is just turned Sunday in Hawaii, putting me nineteen hours in their future, whilst in New Zealand it is only an hour until Monday. Dunno where I would have to be for it to be this time yesterday.

While you guys were having fun at the con, I learned how to win the lottery.
The DUNGEON MASTERS GUIDE City of Brass cover is good and bad at the same time. While its very representational of a high level adventure, it sends a clear message to the dumb: Satan is going to cornhole Miss USA with a big red member and theres nothing science or the military can do about it. - Gene Weigel

If I had a billion dollars I'd make Hunter S. Thompson look like a choir boy.

I'd run tekumel on ayahuasca.

That was Thunder of the Mark, a Chainmail scenario based on post Lord of the Rings battle between Gondor/Rohan and the easterlings.

Lots of fun! The Rohirrim kicked butt.

Dragon on one side of the front doors...

Knight on the other.

HUGE Keep on the Borderlands cover.

Grodog at the Black Blade Publishing table.

Mentzer's game that ligedog (and his coffee) was in, I really need to get into one come NTRPG.
Image

Jeff Rients' Caves of Myrddin/Dungeons of Dundagel game was an absolute blast!
Image

Grodog's Aliens game looked awesome as hell, another game I have to get into at NTRPG.
Image

Got sucked into a last-minute, late Tekumel game on Saturday night. I thought that I had already gamed my last game at GC IV, but I was glad I got a chance for one more. Our characters were pretty mediocre, but the game was short and sweet, and had a very memorable ending.
Image

Bonus picture: sweet Tekumel maps.
Image

Unfortunately the fun had to end sometime.

You won't be getting me back. :wink:

After this weekend I'm so definitely coming to NTRPG.
