Alright, I'm about to go into radio-silence mode for GenCon. Looking forward to meeting everyone, especially fireflies from Moria and falcons from Mirkwood.

I'll be the overweight bearded white guy with a geeky t-shirt* on, I'm sure I'll stick out like a sore thumb.

* the t-shirt will not be black... I'm given to understand that this may indeed set me apart.

Can there be a more appropriate circumstance than GenCon for the famous farewell, "Have fun storming the castle!"

Just wanted to say thank you to zedturtle for running Theft of the Moon. I had a blast, and I know others did as well. It was obvious that you spent a lot of time preparing for the event, and it definitely added to the experience! Best event of the con for me. :D

Glad to hear it, and I do apologize again for the rough start (turns out I've been doing lots of play-by-post games and my improv/act it out muscles had atrophied). I think also we need a more colorful character in the game... Ratwulf needs to be a braggart and Torbald needs to more mercantile (Would you like to buy some jam?).

But I had great groups for all my games and had a ton of fun.

A more detailed response will have to wait for a real keyboard.

Zed, it was awesome hanging out with you at Gen Con! You were such a HUGE help to me during a couple of my games personally (thanks for all the player-aids and your willingness to serve; not to mention the cups of water that saved my throat!), and I can confidently say that the guys from C7 were extremely appreciative of all that you did. I really enjoyed getting to know you and I look forward to growing our friendship. I wish we could have had more time just to sit and talk. Also, I hope you enjoyed being a fill-in player at my table. I know it's a lot different than being the Loremaster!

I am Grim. I am Reckless. I am running away right now. :)

It was a ton of fun. And, yes, once I've recovered from my travels and travails today, expect to hear more from me.

James' reputation as a stellar LM had preceded him... folks in one of my games were raving about him. So, I asked him if I could sit in on one of his games. It was one of the best decisions that I've made in a long while.

Had an awesome time, so glad I was able to get in on a TOR game. I really want to see the Rohan stuff now (as if I didn't before). Meeting James Brown was very cool as well. Also got to meet several of the crew, very nice guys. Thanks to all for what you do

Do tell more. I really wish we weren't separated by huge expanses of water as there are lots of people here I'd like to meet in real life.

Agreed.

JRB is a great LM; he really helped remind me to open up and be more expansive in my descriptions and characterization. I do a lot of PbP games and my sense of live game pacing had atrophied. Watch James work his magic helped a lot.

Also, he's just a great guy... as he mentioned we took the opportunity to hang out when we could and i really appreciated his time and thoughts on stuff.

And, yes, I'd love to hang out with everyone here IRL.

TORCon 2016? I nominate James' house.
