PaizoCon

PaizoCon was pretty cool, although time seemed to just fly by. That's what happens when you're having fun though. I took my son along which allowed him to experience the styles of other game masters and game systems. He even played in a Star Wars game, which is a system new to him.

I also had the distinct pleasure of meeting lots of folks I either already knew by reputation or have only  corresponded with. There was also lots of great stuff and great folks in the dealer room too. I met Clinton Boomer and we bought two copies of his new book, "The Hole Behind Midnight," which my son and I both recommend highly. The Hero Lab guys were also at the con in force and it was a real pleasure to see them hawking my favorite all time RPG software. Wolfgang and Shelly Baur were also hawking their wares in the dealer room and I bought my first Open Design thing, Tales of the Old Margreve (PFRPG). I've subscribed to Kobold Quarterly of course. Sean K Reynolds gave an great terrain building demo too, although I could have spend three times as long with some hands on training!

We bought some weird metallic dice. I met a couple of my RPG Superstar 2010 comrades too which was pretty cool, though we had no time to visit. I also ran into Tom McQueen, and we rode the shuttle back to the airport with Jon Brazer and his wife. I'd picked up a copy of of their new Book of Beasts.

I went on vacation with my wife afterward but now I'm back. I've resumed working on all my RPG projects and of course picked up some new ones. Well I think I'm done with my name dropping updatification. See you later. :)

Updated (6/30/2011):  I forgot to mention that the con pretty much paid for itself in free goodies from the good folks at Paizo!
