Gary Con was a fantastic time! I got to catch up for a while with nogrod, grodog, burntwire bros and more. Like you wjaehring, I was in the the Stefan Pokornoy game with Luke and Dale and such. Was a great time! I had a blast and would like to attend next year, but heard the 2016 hotel dates were booked already!?!. If so, then Gamehole or North Texas for me... We shall see what the future holds!

Was my fourth Gary Con. Always a great time! Need some time to catch up on sleep! One of my highlights was a game of Don't give up the ship! With mike Carr. What a great guy. Had a blast playing that game.

Yep I totally forgot you were on the Acaeum or I would have introduced myself. We had one other game together too. We should have taken SH60B's suggestion and written Acaeum on our badges.

I hear you! One other thing of great mention, Ex-TSR, Frank himself and his wife had a phenomenal pre Gary Con party and I wish to extend my thanks once again for that. The food was excellent and the conversations were awesome and I cannot rate the party high enough with mere words. I give exemplary compliments to all in involved and I hope to do this again next year!

I would post longer stories, but I wish to extend thanks where thanks is due and credit where credit is due. I am easy to spot at these things, look for the guy in a Manowar shirt and you have found me!

Just tried to get a room at the resort and was told they only have Wednesday & Thursday available. That really sucks!!! We have been to GaryCon since GC2.

Looks like being a vendor again won't happen unless I can get a room Wed-Sat night.

He was helping me try to find Jon Peterson but unfortunately I wasn't able to catch up with Jon. Anyway really nice to meet Grodog and I hope to play in one of his games sometime, maybe at NTRPG.

This was a really crazy con for me, I did zero gaming and had pretty much wall-to-wall meetings. Productive, though. Sorry I missed you, hopefully we'll meet at NTRPG.

Got rooms at the Ridge Grand Inn, the sister site to the Ridge. So all is good though it makes things a little tougher as vendors.

You guys brought a great selection of vintage stuff by the way. I'm guessing you guys made out pretty good.

Just posting on the off-chance someone picked up an extra Cave of Whispers?

I'd be much obliged if there was someone's spare I could buy?

I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.
