Same here. On the whole, it's for the best that my group bailed this year as I've got some bills to pay and a wedding to attend in a couple weeks, but I'd much rather spend the weekend doing something fun.

Eight hours of D&D today, very fun.

Hey!

If any one is interested in Endless Fantasy Tactics I'm getting set up on the second floor by the speed painting (take a left if you're coming from the mall). I've got one board at the moment, but I can easily set up some quick and dirty boards.

Starts at 8!

Also I saw Kronk he walked by me while I waited in the FFG line.

Also got a demo for a pretty cool game by Cincydooley.

Also, of anyone is doing the FFG convention line game, let me know I want to beat it and get my VIP card.

If you saw a guy in overalls who wasn't cosplaying Luigi or Mario today, that was me.

Were you wearing the hardhat with the pipboy?

**Alfndrate**

So, how was everyone's GenCon? Anyone get some "phat lewts"?

I met Cincydooley who demoed Darklands for me and my friend.

I got drunk with Heath Foley (artist for Mantic, On the Lamb, and a few other companies) and two guys from Warlord Games' US office while we played Cards Against Humanity and we now know who the worst of us is now.

Demoed a few games, played in the Iron Arena on Saturday, Demoed Endless Fantasy Tactics for a store owner and finally got to try World of Darkness

Also I'm super excited to try this RPG I found on Sunday called Shadows of Esteren.

Hope you all had a great GenCon!

No, just a ballcap and a regular t-shirt. I wasn't cosplaying at all. I got quite a few strange looks, and overheard some funny comments. I think next year I may wear a pair every day.

I got to meet misterjustin at the Warstore booth and also Rahdo from Rahdo Runs Thru video series..

My wife went nuts and got about every free button she could..

I spent the con in Hall D across from the inflatable sheep from Mayfair at the GameSalute demo area, running Alien Frontiers and Blackwater Gulch.. did not really get Phat Loot, but did end up with a lot of shopping lewt..

**dsteingass**

I had a great time! My massive haul is documented on my thread http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/500202.page
I went balls out on MERCS, and got started on WWX, and we played an 7+ hour APoc game saturday.

**kronk**

I bought a bunch of gak. Favorite game I picked up was the Lord of the Rings deck building card game (from Cryptozoic) that plays similar to Dominion, but not exactly.

**Sinful Hero**

I ended up grabbing the Inifinity starter bundle and several Nomad miniatures; two expansions to Smash Up; two starters, promo mini, several more miniatures, and several books for Dark Age; the Anphelion Projectbook; signed art prints; signed posters; Dark Sword miniatures; a Raw Deal deck(this game is super fun btw- wrassling TCG); Princess Mononoke shirt from TeeTurtle; Secret Weapon bases; some Japanese battle books; and some leftovers from a Conspiracy draft. I think that's about it, but I may have forgotten one or two things.

**cincydooley**

I'd post what I got but it doesn't seem right to since I paid for very little of it. Cool to see the sweet hauls everyone else brought in, tho.
