I am wandering around GaryCon in a daze, but not an unpleasant daze.

Thanks for posting the auction results, Guy.  I always mean to write down the results, but forget.

I'll post a con summary at some point with some pictures.  It's been incredible, as usual.  This is my third night in a row past 2 am.  And I always feel like I'm missing things. There's just too much to do, too many people to catch up with.  I'm sorry tomorrow is the last day, as tired as I am.

On the other hand, there's only 80 days to NTRPGCon!   :D

Stratochamp: Thanks, and I'm glad I only happened to prevent you from getting one item!

And to both you and Bracton: I had a blast playing AD&D with both of you, and I would play with both of you again in a heartbeat. I also enjoyed hearing about your Rolemaster campaign; we still need to finish that conversation...

Also: I'll clean up that auction results list later today so that things make more sense. I had phone autocomplete errors, some minor copy and paste glitches, and other minor hiccups as I was going, so the list suffered a bit.

I had a great time!  It was my first Gary Con and even though I couldn't be there for all four days this year I plan to be there for all four next year.  I had a lot of fun playing games, meeting people and seeing a lot of cool stuff.  (For example, my first time ever seeing a sand table set up.)  I got to meet a lot of fellow Acaeumites there and special thanks to Nogrod who helped show me around and recommended a lot of cool things/games.  It was a blast and I will be back next year if all goes well!

As always it was a pleasure to meet-up with you guys. The one thing GaryCon always does is 'primes the pump' so to speak regarding my excitement level for NTRPGCon. If I missed giving a miniature to any of you who were there PM me and I will send you one. They really did turn out awesome thanks to Matt at CSM.

I too had a lot of fun hanging out with many of you guys at GaryCon, some of you who I'd met before and some not. Can't say I got in much by way of gaming, but, the trip was certainly very worthwhile. Nice to meet Nogrod, mrmanowar, Guy, many others, and as a great way to finish up the weekend I enjoyed stratochamp's hospitality in Chicago, where we compared notes on a few interesting rarities.

I'm new to the forum - and joined because Stratochamp introduced me it, while sharing pictures of his amazing collection on the site.  (This happened  during a break while playing a really fun Egyptian styled dungeon crawl at GaryCon. Thanks William!)

The site is great - I look forward to exploring and learning about the collecting aspect of the hobby.

Cheers,
Nick AKA Liverpuncher

Ps Incidentally, I was the one who bid and on the iron winds dragon set. It's likely not collectible, but it is a good set of minis, plus it was for a good cause.

Welcome to the Acaeum Nick!
Wasn't that a great game? The highlight was when we dropped a massive golden sarcophagus on the head of a Gorgon that was in the room below us. There was a 20' long shaft connecting the two rooms, and we lured the Gorgon below us by throwing down half a dozen recently killed minions that we had dispatched a couple of rooms back. When he came to investigate the bait, whammo we dropped King Tut's Tomb on top of him. It was awesome. And awesome that the DM let it work.

Guy, was this the "live" auction only, or are there silent auction results also included here?

Those were just the live auction results.  I haven't seen anything posted about the silent auctions.

That was a poster of the ground level of Ernie's dungeon, which he is hoping to have published.  We used it in the game we played.  Very cool.  I was the second high bidder on it, unfortunately.   :cry:

Thanks! The event was hilarious - the topper of course was the caper you note above.  If we manage to play in the event again next year, our battle cry should be "Death by Sarcophogi!"  :D

Confirming what others already said: That's the live auction only. I didn't think to write down the raffle stuff, or the silent auction stuff. The silent auction stuff was pretty meh, IMO.

The raffle raised at least $1700. I was the first to buy raffle tickets, so I had the lowest-numbered ones. I kept track of the highest numbered ticket pulled, and it was around 1700 higher than my lowest.
