Anyone going? I'll be there.

Re: Gencon 2016
I'm going! I usually get at least one commission from Talon each year. Not certain exactly which one I want this time...

Re: Gencon 2016
Nice! Maybe I'll see you at his booth. (I plan on showing up right at opening on Thursday.)
also of note: Lucien Soulban is going to be there signing things. He wrote the Azenwrath section of CotN:Created, as well as the RPGA adventure Legacy of Venom.
Bruce Cordell, who wrote Die Vecna Die! and Open Grave will also be in the writers symposium.

Yeah, I saw Bruce's name on the writer's symposium list a while back (that's primarily what I go for)!

Re: Gencon 2016
Well, that was a blast!
Ravenloft-ish highlights:
Ravenloft-ish highlights:
- This tidbit of info: http://fraternityofshadows.com/forum/vi ... 17#p226717
- Meeting Jim Zub, scoring the alternate covers of the Shadows of the Vampire comics I was missing, and getting them signed
- Meeting Claudio Pozas, though I sadly didn't have anything for him to sign. (hi, Klaus! sorry I couldn't take you up on the offer of a Strahd sketch. maybe next time.)
- Meeting Lucien Soulban, getting my COTN: Created signed, and settling once and for all the pronunciation of Azenwrath. (It's AZZ-en-wrath, not AZE-en-wrath)
- Winning a box each of Shadows over Innistrad and Eldritch Moon in a Magic tournament (it's not Ravenloft, but it's close. (Well, as of Plane Shift: Innistrad, it sort of is Ravenloft.))
- Meeting Talon Dunning, commissioning my party portrait (can't wait to see the final piece!), seeing all his original art from the books that I wished I could also buy, including unused alternate versions of some, and getting my limited edition 3e RCS and 3e MotRD signed, as well as my Tarokka deck. Bonus: Talon said he doesn't think he's ever signed one before, so I may have the only signed Talon Tarroka in the world!

Re: Gencon 2016
OMG.... Talon sent me the first draft of my commission. It's gorgeous. Can't wait to see the final...

It looks great indeed.

Indeed... thanks for saving me the trouble of posting it, Giamarga.
