I’m back home…

I’m back from Gencon, and what a great weekend!  This was my fifth year in a row, and definitely the best one yet.  I’ll try and talk about some of the great stuff I saw later.  But really quick, here’s a quick list of the stuff I came home with:

Stone Age
Quarriors

Sentinels of the Multiverse
Hey, That’s My Fish!
Paizo GameMastery Faces decks 1 and 2

Plus a bunch of free stickers, lanyards, and random neat stuff.  I also managed to either play or at least see almost everything from my list.  So in addition to being a fun trip, it was exremely successful.  I also met Jerry from Obsidian Portal.  And bumped into Brad Talton, creator of Mystic Empyrean.  He gave me a free preview copy of the new game!  I’m looking forward to reading through it and hopefully doing a playtest.

Tomorrow I’ll be starting a new Ravenloft campaign with some friends.  I think once that first session is done I’ll add a page on here where I can keep track of the maps and things that I design for this and other D&D games I run.

That’s all for today!

Ready for Gencon!

Good news!  My business cards arrived today, so I’m ready for Gencon!  If you’d like a free copy of the Business Card Board game, find me and I’ll be happy to turn it over.  Send me a Twitter message and we can meet up.  @poorly_designed
