The entire Q&A with GM Sarli and the other designers about the SWRPG that was hosted at GenCon will be posted on the WotC boards within the next few days... in case you're interested.

Grr . . . my "friend" went to Gen Con, and dispite the fact that neither I, his Forgotten Realms DM, nor our friend, the Star Wars GM, could go (both of us getting married in the near future), he went anyway. Did he attent FR seminars and take note for me? No. Did he smuggle out the AT AT "miniature" for our friend? No. Did he get me a signed Elminster mini? No. Did he take the head of WOTC's Star Wars line hostage and not let him go until he promised to start putting out new Star Wars RPG material? NO.
Boy . . . friends these days. He spent his WHOLE time there playing in minis tournaments. Then again, he had to get some use out of his new minis, since he is still in the dog house from his wife for buying a case of minis right before making his pilgrimage to Indianapolis. Perhaps I should cut him some slack.
Bah . . . the people of the Black Blood still wanted his druid dead one way or another, whose to say that they might not be quite so stealthy had he just thought to snag some swag for his DM?
Just kidding. I'm glad he had a good time, and I really hope to go next year (though my future bride says that it will not cut is as our 2nd honeymoon, since it should be close to our first aniversary by then). |

Well, a friend of mine went and brought me back a boat-load of swag-goodness. Including one of those lovely Elminster miniatures with the epic stat card signed by Ed. |

I have wanted to go for awhile and since I really don't attend Pensic anymore it is not a matter of conflict anymore.
I learned though that the conflict between Gencon and SCA Pensic was INTENTIONAL. Had to do with an argument between Arneson and The developers of Runequest so I hear. Weird.

Well, I've got next year though...*sniff*
I'm pretty certain she's not. I think those descriptions were written up and submitted to Gen Con LLC before she made her decision to forgo the event.

Back to GenCon though... 'Tis strange but, in a conversation with the Bookwyrm last year (just before GenCon 2004), I stated that I would try my hardest to get over to the convention for 2005.
My, how things change... .

Worst than that, every year in our great Rpg convention here in Brazil, one good writer came to give us some insight in her work. Peter Adkinson, Peter Jackson, Rein Hagen, Margareth Weis and others already make the trip for here in the last years. This year, in which we see The Cristal Shard in brazilian portuguese (the first Realmish novel translated here), much of us stay (I included) waiting for a good day with Salvatore, but he donīt was invited...  |
