Assuming you make it one of these years, you need to being the booth crew a matching set of those bearskin hats worn by the Coldstream Guards.  We might look silly as all hell in them, but you'll be able to see us anywhere in the main gaming hall

Inside the convention center was quite comfortable, good AC. Outside was rather warm.

Do NOT believe their numbers. I guarantee you they didn't include the cost of all the stuff you HAVE to buy there.  :P

No haul will ever beat the one I had in...well, I don't remember if it was '05, '06, or '07, but I must have gone home with 30+ games.

I know of it least one guy this year who may have rivaled that haul.

Any of the rest of you that went get sick? I feel like a bag crap this morning, scratchy throat, runny nose, run down.  :buck2:



At every convention, I keep a bottle of Airborne gummies in the bag. I chew between five and eight of them everyday, and I haven't gotten sick at a convention since I started doing that. Maybe I'm just lucky, or maybe it does really work

Airborne Gummies? Para Gummies? There's a potential new wargame web comic in that somehow. "Paging BC's Photoshop skillz... paging BC's Photoshop skillz..."

this was my epic GenCon '07 loot

there's about 15 separate games in there, plus magazines, cards, accessories, dice etc.

Mine included a copy of World of Warcraft: The Boardgame - which I still have, mint and unpunched.
