"No, you don't understand. Let me explain how that rule really works."

Do not a adjust your monitor. This chick really is totally black. A drow peddling goods at the Con.

Showing off our new Hackmaster PBHs. A very generous Kenzer & Co gave these out to each person in their intro event. Now, let's get ready to Hack!

Sometimes you spank the enemy, and other times you are the one bending over. In this Savage Worlds game , we played supervillians who were trying to save the world from an alien invasion.  Only the biggest threat to our party was ourselves, as we did more damage to each other than they did by infighting.

The gaming table at the aforementioned game.

"Freeze earth scum! All your base are belong to us!"

Shay playing in his favorite event. 'Bedtime...the L.A.R.P.'

"I didn't know that Padme was only 14, really!"

A Gen Con tradition...getting a picture of Kristen the Duct Tape Girl. This time, complete with caution tape.

After walking all the way to the convention hall, a defeated and resigned Steve must return to the hotel to get the event tickets he forgot.

Another rare Gen Con appearance. A clean shaven gamer.

At the first event of the Con, Steve baptizes the gaming table with the proverbial soda spill.

Not even a day into the Con, we are already having our first crisis. Tom returns from his hospital visit to our Savage Worlds game. Can this be forshadowing of the Con to come?

"Dang...I thought I would never get rid of that phone call! Doesn't she realize why I come to these Cons?"

Tom is lulled to sleep by the monotonous, droning voice of Helga, the Shadowrun GM.

Irony? Don't they realize that breaking their own rules may start a riot with many gamers?

At the Wizards of the Coast Online party at the Alcatrazz Brewery. Shay questions his drink..."Didn't I just drain you?" It's not a decander of endless alcohol, Shay. It us just us riding on the crest of the bar tap.

James and Shay at the party. Can you guess which one has a higher alcohol blood content? Shay spins an evergrowing yarn about how James selflessly threw himself in front of the oncoming tequila shots to save his friend from impending embarrassement and hangover.
