Thought some people might be interested in these, and I don't know how many here collect Different Worlds. Scanned from the inner-spread of issue 25.

I've skipped the general "all kinds of people/booths" pics in favour of company-specific ones.

GDW's booth (with no one present): http://img95.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gdwzd8.jpg

Scott Bizar (FGU) and Lee Gold: http://img167.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fguub7.jpg
Kerry Lloyd & Richard Meyer (Gamelords): http://img167.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gamelordscp9.jpg
Steve Peterson (Hero Games): http://img255.imageshack.us/my.php?image=herotf8.jpg
Tadashi Ehara, Greg Stafford, Sandy Petersen (Chaosium): http://img212.imageshack.us/my.php?image=chaosiumpp5.jpg (For the curious: the games in front of them appear to be Runequest 2e, Borderlands, Thieves World, Worlds of Wonder, and possibly Call of Cthulhu. Also of note: apparently they sold/had t-shirts with the old dragon logo on it.)
Wilf Backhaus (Archaeron Games -- who I've never heard of): http://img79.imageshack.us/my.php?image=archaeronfy6.jpg
Forest Brown (Martian Metals): http://img79.imageshack.us/my.php?image=martianmetalsyk3.jpg
Rick Loomis (who got caught by the fold) (Flying Buffalo): http://img529.imageshack.us/my.php?image=flyingbuffalojb3.jpg
Unamed people with Middle-Earth map (ICE): http://img131.imageshack.us/my.php?image=icela9.jpg
Dave Arneson (Adventure Games): http://img237.imageshack.us/my.php?image=adventuregamesrq7.jpg
Arnold Hendrick (Heritage USA): http://img413.imageshack.us/my.php?image=heritagewb3.jpg
Steve Jackson (Do I really need to mention the company?): http://img397.imageshack.us/my.php?image=stevejacksondr1.jpg
Dave Nalle (Ragnarok Enterprises -- I know nothing of these guys. Anyone?): http://img47.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ragnarokql5.jpg

And finally, for the adventurous:

Yes, that is 1.06MB.

Wilf Backhaus is a fellow Canuck. I think he did an item or two for Fantasy Games Unlimited (Chivalry & Sorcery I think) but also the two books Mage and Warrior for the Archaeron Games System.

David Nalle of Ragnarok Enterprises did the Ysgarth RPG and Abyss fanzine (50+ issues). They really did a ton of stuff that most people don't know about. Here's a link to the Tome listing:
