Just make your fuckin\' guy and roll the dice, you pricks. Focus on what\'s interesting, not what gives you the biggest randomly generated virtual penis.  -- J Arcane
 
You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

If you ever meet him in person I dare you to ask him about that photo chart he has of Twenty sided dice stacked up against each other. You likely will hear him go into a shpiel about how Game Science dice are better than all of the other dice and how he makes them. His style is a mix of P.T Barnum. W.C. Fields, and Professor Harold Hill as played by Robert Preston.

That's a stellar plug for a performance if I ever heard one! :D If he goes Glengarry Glen Ross would it be in bad taste to throw him a bouquet of flowers? :p

True, but they're the most boring pics.

Koltar, what did you play at GenCon? Any GURPS?

What did you pick up for yourself?

What do you feel were the "success stories" among the new products?

Opaopajr

Damn, y'all are some salty bitches! :D Let me get the tequila and limes!

Multiply those two by 50. Im sure you would complain that they all look too similar and boring.

For freaks sake you are just looking for a fight with him and/or to tear down the convention aren't you?

Yeah, I'm pretty salty about a business that incorporated to provide "The best four days in gaming" and instead dabbles in local politics, supports the perpetrator when a guest is attacked, and by the visual proof of that comes from a veteran FLGS worker who can't tell the difference between two games advertisement banner even when the name is printed on the banner that the con is a place for cosplayers more than TTRPG players.

Yet you are right. I should shut the fuck up about it.
"Meh."
