The Designers & Dragons Collection is incredible. I own it in print and PDF, and I really should circle back and reread the history. It really is that good.

  Yep, they had me warming the bench this morning for none other than Zeb Cook in the Autograph Booth ;) Afterwards, I tried to tae a picture of every booth in the Vending Hall, but I know I missed a handful, especially GaxLand - Heidi and Erik's booth was constantly mobbed, and that's a damn good thing! I may swing by the Vendor Hall tomorrow in the AM. This afternoon's SWL/B&A game was in Conference Room A at the Hilton Garden. One small problem - there was no Conference Room A at the Hilton Garden. There was, however, a board room, and by an 8 to 0 vote, we designated the Board R ..read more

  I received the above "Gelatinous Cube" at the Severed Books table (far left vending aisle, next to the Frog God table). The Cube, to me, is a great representation of PAGE 2 - it has some hidden features you didn't quite expect at first, but damn, its special! For as many tables, and people, that I saw at Day One of PAGE, the noise was surprisingly controlled. And yes, there were tons of people, way more than I could ever hope to name, but it was great to finaly meet friends from The Tavern's Discord, our YouTube Channel, and even ENWorld. At 3PM. I hosted, along with YouTubers and aut ..read more

  Rach and I made it to PAGE 2, and I'm impressed - and we haven't made it yet to the convention site, just the main hotel. If nothing else, I've been reminded how awesome the gaming community is in general and the OSR in particular. I wish I had thought of taking pictures with everyone, but hopefully I'll remember tomorrow ..read more
