Just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who came out to see us at Gen Con this year. That show, as always, is such an amazing time. We saw a lot of cool games this year, my team was in love with Captain Sonar. I didn’t get a chance to play it, but I never stopped hearing about it. And also Vast and Seafall apparently is a big one. I didn't spend a lot of time playing games, crazy enough.

Because....I got a chance to catch up with my oldest and dearest friend, Rob Schebel, whom I’ve known since the 5th grade. And we found out Rob taught one of our buddies over at Fantasy Flight games. Which explains a lot, because Rob is a terrible teacher and drinks his own pee (not true, but again, I’ve known him since the 5th grade and old habits die hard). Rob, his brother Mark and I spent so much time talking I lost my voice on the first night. But it was totally worth it.

You know, I used to travel all over to all kinds of cons, but these days we only hit our "family" shows: Emerald City (which drew me to my new adopted home in the Pacific Northwest), Pax South, East and West), and Gencon. That’s it. That’s where we come to see our family. You guys and gals who always smile, and thank us and freak out when you see us.

And INSIST on shaking my hand and getting me sick (but let’s not dwell on such things).

Thank you-thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Not just for Gen Con and not for coming out to see us soon at PAX but for all the support. We love you guys. It means a lot to get to come out and see you in person.
