Yes, despite liking my BBQ, that meal was not a good showing.
On another customers high marks comments, I grabbed some bacon wrapped Shrimp.
Only ate one of those and about half of the rest of what I grabbed in line.
Might have been a bad evening to go there, or perhaps the cooks were new hires.

We also sat outside on the covered porch in 100 degree heat.
Shaded, but still danged hot and eating spicy foods on top?

Ida happily driven Frank and Jim to the Arby's drive thru and paid myself if ida known.

Thought I would list the great stuff I won or bought at the 2011 NTRPG con:

Lamentations of the Flame Princess (Boxed Set) by James Raggi
Hammer of the God (adventure for lotfp) by James Raggi
The Grinding Gear (adventure for lotfp) by James Raggi

Digest Adventures:
Onto the Devil's Skiller/Stirge by Tim Kask
Hive of the Wasp Men/The Dark Abbot of Kos by Steve Winter
Snake Riders of the Aradondo by Tim Kask
Tourist Traps by Dennis Sustere
The Dwarven Goly (Reproduction)
The Ghost Tower of Inverness (Reproduction)

RJK-1 The Original Bottle City by Robert J. Kuntz
B1 Legacy of the Unknown By Bill Barsh
I1 Grave of the Unknown By Bill Barsh
TM2 Storm Over Skyreach By Bill Barsh
All is not Well in Boskidell By Tim Kask

Cairn of the Skeleton King Art Reprints
OSRIC Rule Book (Hardcover)
OSRIC Monster Book (Hardcover)
Reaper Ghost Money $25 (Coupon)

Ink Painting by Paul Jaquays

I am extremely honored to have the "All is not Well in Boskidell" adventure as there are only 6 in existence. I collect Tim. His storylines are out of the box and they are fantastic. Anything he puts out there I'm after except clothes (Talk to Braction about that). Tim goes the extra mile in the production of these adventures. Tim has used Walter Simon as the artist on this adventure and Snake Riders of the Aradondo. Walter is truely an extrodinary artist. He's kind of been Tim's secret but with this adventure out there and other works in the piple line Walter is a secret no more.

Hehe,
oh how I would love to attend.
Alas, I must settle for the SoCal MiniCon4 in July.
Perhaps pictures will be taken.
If so, I will be disguised as a 6' blonde buxom amazon in a chain mail bikini.
As I anticipate my Polymorph Self spell will be so successful, make sure to look for Mobad and the others standing around me, drooling!
Eew!!

Not sure if I missed it, but who won the raffle items? Will be especially jealous of the winner of the free trip next year.

I thought about that after seeing a poster in someone's photo. Happy to make it up if you bring them next year, or when you come down to New Braunfels. I was sort of out of it all day on Saturday. Didn't hit my proper con stride until late afternoon.

Hey Brette,

I was thinking the same thing too.

Think I'll start planning to attend next year instead of just getting raffle tickets.

Best regards,
Ronald

We'll have to investigate how Brian and Martin seem to keep winning multiple items every year in the raffle.......

Yay! I won the Dragon's Craig LE Lithograph by Paul Jaquays! A nice consolation prize for being unable to attend this year. Thanks, guys.

Most of you are well aware that for the NTRPG Con last year Doug had printed approximately 100 copies of the 1st Print (Foldered Version) of The Palace of the Vampire Queen.
This was an authorized reprint of the first print.
After the convention last year, a few copies were listed on e-Bay by NTRPG Con attendees with some selling for $150 or more.

This year, Doug printed six different digest size adventure books for sale at the 2011 NTRPG Con, including an authorized reprint of The Dwarven Glory (First Print) (see below).

The number of The Dwarven Glory First Print Reprints were fewer than the PotVQs sold at the 2010 NTRPG Convention and the copies of The Dwarven Glory Reprint were completely sold out at the convention this past weekend.

I wonder how soon this will show up on e-Bay for sale?

Hopefully none...I can hope that they went to collectors that actually want to keep them. So far, none of the Otus prints have shown up (I'm sure someone here would've put it on the interesting items thread).

The Erol Otus Prints are a totally different thing altogether.

I am sure that a few The Dwarven Glory Reprints will be listed on e-Bay.
In fact, I know some will.

*g* Which leaves me some explaining to do since I gave away a handful of the PotVQ reprints from last year and made the mistake of saying those would probably be followed by DGs this year. That was before the investors moved in. Oops...
