I'm no Sean Reynolds, but here you go.

GenCon's last show at the Milwaukee convention center. I'm going to miss George Webb.

Chris Toepker, the guy running the new minis effort at Wizards.

The Chainmail championship.

The good folks of Hammerdog Games. I tout their stuff so much that people have asked me whether I have stock in the company.

Mike Donais from Wizards. I'm getting him excited about the game-play possibilities of Hammerdog's Imajewels.

Aaron Rosenberg has done a number of intriguing, off-beat RPGs.

Greg Porter, an accomplished rules hack and RPG publisher.

Guardians of Order promoted their superhero RPG with this guy, a blow-up doll with a functional mouth.
