The PowerPoint session intro you mentioned at the seminar floored me -- if you ever want to write that up for TT, just let me know. brcarl, hopefully your first GenCon will come sooner than you think! Stuart: D'oh! Next year, then. :) stupidranger: It was excellent to meet you and Dante, and I recognized you both from the 2006 seminar. blackheart: Excellent. It sounds like we might have an even larger TT contingent for next year's con. Walt C.: It was great to meet you!

Dante & I would have loved to come along for dinner, but we had other commitments. We'll have to try again next year! The seminar was great, and it was great to see everyone!

It would have been great meeting some of you guys and spending a couple days playing some games I normally don't get to play. Sadly, with my work, limited vacation and other commitments, I don't see a GenCon anywhere in my (near) future. Maybe when I'm retired? (eek!) Sorry I couldn’t make it.

I've corrected the post. If I'd known he was on the boards, I'd have insisted he get in the outside photo -- sorry, Michael!

Someone mentioned a "lightning round" at the end - great idea. The TT.org folks I met were as cool in a non-gaming setting as they are on the forums. I'm already looking forward to next year's GenCon, although I may be with child... The mystery man in the first pic is my friend and current GM, Micheal (svisionguy on the forums).

Hopefully as the site continues to grow we'll get a few more people at GenCon every year. I love the idea of doing a game as our TT meetup next year (or in addition to it, if that works out).

Which was just a few under the number that had registered. The room was great, nice and big. People were able to spread out a bit. The open format was good and there were a lot of great pieces of advice. Next year, there will have to be some moderation or time limits for the audience participation, just so we can answer more questions, but the group there was excellent. I really enjoyed sitting at the RAM and having a drink with everyone. It was great to put faces to the avatars in on the forums.

And that space was put to good use with all of the attendees. They gave me a walk-in closet for my seminar! :) It was awesome to meet so many TT members at GenCon this year. Next year I am going to invite you all to a private event where I'll GM an adventure for any TT attendees who are interested using the Fudge system. The one thing we didn't do was game together!

The initial room had space for 20-30, and the final room had space for the full 100 we expected. By my rough count, I'd say we had 60-70 people, which was a bit of surprise -- I was pretty sure we'd fill the room (like we did last year with 60 spots).
