Hi everyone!

Man, that was some weekend, eh? I had such a great time meeting people I have been meaning to meet for a long time. And I got to play with Shemeska and Rip (thanks for shoehorning us in, Shemmy!)!

I enjoyed a lunch with Shemmy, Clueless and Rip (we had sushi).

The Q&A session was also wonderful. It was great finally seeing Ken Marable, and I was pleasantly surprised when Ken Lipka dropped in. Actually, I was giddy.

Here are some of the pictures I took (not all of these are from Gen-Con).

Group photo!

Oh, and here is the link I promised to post here, Shemeska: Apotheosis, and more specifically: House of Memory

Go right ahead!

I should probably also submit all the meaty non-campaign-specific stuff off my site to PW as well. I'll get around to it when I have a bit more to submit (I am, in fact, terribly lazy). Cool

I may or may not have destroyed all the pictures I took last week, trying to get the film out of the camera. I'll find out what remains when they get developed, which should be tomorrow sometime.

I'm not at all ignorant of cameras, honestly, but this new automatic one I have confuses me. I'm used to my old one that worked without batteries, which I was able to focus and correctly adjust the aperture by sheer instinct and sense of smell.

So anyway, good on Orri for taking plentiful digital ones.

My pictures are developed!

Some of them aren't too bad.

I regret not having gone. Running the PS 4-Part Adventure last year was a lot of work but also a lot of fun. Hopefully my finances will let me attend in 2006 Smiling

Great to see!

Any idea what became of all the pictures the Ennies crew took of us?

The Planescape DM's screen is the tarmiest of the tarmy. It's from the Boxed Set. I use it in my own campaign, or at least I did back when we met regularly. It has no information that a 3e DM needs, but you know you're a cool basher for doing it.

That would rule. I was thinking about getting that old screen from my friend who used to be my Planescape DM. I was planning on sticking it in front of the free 3.5e screen I got with Dragon, so I would have both the current reference info and the somber and foreboding face of The Lady staring down my players. :twisted:

But a new one would be a lot more handy... Eye-wink

Out of curiosity - what's actually IN the 3rd ed screen - none of my current game group have one so I don't know what to include

Here's a breakdown of the tables on the DM side of my 3.5e screen. Keep in mind this is just the free one that came with Dragon when they came out with 3.5e, so there may be better ones than this. The bottom 2-3" of the screen is also taken up by pictures of some of the D&D minis.

I know places to print large carboard pages :twisted: but I don't have such a big picture of the lady. Does anyone know where I could find one? :oops:
