Gencon Day 1: Part 1
Up at the crack of dawn? Well no, but not weekend late either. We took in the breakfast at the Hampton which was surprisingly good and a surprisingly short line (we'll see how we do later into the weekend). Then over to the Convention to join the VIG line.
We milled about outside the lounge and then they lined us up, two wide, and the line snaked through the convention center and in the far west side of the vendor room. Ah, vendor room peace and quiet for that coveted first hour. Heleen and I even enjoyed a quick demo of a Final Fantasy Games prototype of a Star Wars miniatures/space combat game. (X-wings vs. TIE fighters)
Did some more poking about and a little shopping (hit one booth's 3/$10 sale and hit another to finally get Dragon #220 - the one w the Vlad Taltos stats). We looped about and voila - a familiar face.
To be continued.
