Have spent most of the day in the Vendor's Hall, wandering around, getting autographs, picking up 'needs' and a few 'wants', and chatting w/ as many people as possible.
Kevin Siembieda from Palladium books. Spend quite awhile talking with him about systems, players, GM'ing, trolls, etc. he did answer one burning question for me. W/ the 'Earth Defenders' minis coming out, I asked him why he went w/ the T-55 tank instead of the more modern T-72 or T-90. His response? Because it looked the coolest. Works for me.
The KS/Con exclusives assembled and mostly painted. They are really nice minis.
Jolly Blackburn of Kenzerco w/ my signed copy of the 25th Anniv. of KODT. I asked him if there was any more in the drama over the
KODT Live Action and he told me the KS organizer has 'gone silent'.
And my gamers/Zombie Orpheus Entertainment bonanza:
Maggie Ferguson-Wagstaffe from Gemers Live and Sarah Sanders-Ode from House Rulez
Christian Doyle and Steve Wolbrecht w/ a special message for a friend.
Carol Roscoe, Brian Lewis, Nathan Rice, Steven Wolbrecht, Christian Doyle.

I got a personal demo of the OGRE card game prototype which is being finalized now. This is going to be one of my purchases when it hits the shelves.
