There and Back Again (Gencon)

Once again a great time had in Indianapolis. Nice to see those of you who made it. Had some great game sessions and got to share this wonderful game with many new players.

:)

Was hoping to see a little news come out for TOR and AIME, since Gencon is the biggie. Will carry on waiting patiently :)

Indeed! It was great to see friends old and new, especially those who I only get to see once a year! The time flew by at an amazing pace which I'm pretty sure means I was having fun the entire time. It was especially awesome to meet those of you who I've known from the forums for a long time now but hadn't ever had a face to go with the name before! And then I had two forum rock-stars in my Sunday morning game, so that was pretty darn sweet too.

It was really wonderful to be with you guys and to have spent nearly 18 hours roleplaying.

My first Gen Con was amazing! It felt like a great folk moot, a gathering of the tribe. It was really wonderful meeting Jacob (zedturtle) and James, and the whole C7 team! Special thanks to Jacob for fitting my friend into one of his TOR sessions. He had never played TOR before and you turned him into a fan! He had so much fun! I hope next year to be able to sit in on TOR sessions run by Jacob and James.

All I can say is that The One Ring SOLD OUT of the core rules, Journeys & Maps, The Darkening of Mirkwood, Erebor, and The Adventurer's Companion I believe. There were only a few copies of Rivendell left.

Sales for AIME were very strong as well. The Player's Guide won the Silver Ennie for Best Rules. That was quite exciting!

So, both lines are doing freaking awesome and there is more to come in the future!

I was so sad to miss out this year! Glad to hear it went well.
