I thought that might get your attention. Just mad I missed catchin up with you at Gencon. For the second straight year I was unable to meet with any Acaeum members. Next year will be different. I'm going to try to get everybody together for lunch or dinner.

Am back..Yes I got 16 copies (so 1 or 2 copies for all those I had on the list)..I missed the meeting with the Acaeum and Frank (but did get a private tour from Frank later on - just no cookies :cry:

) Love the button (shall have to scan that in some time)
Judges Guild stuff was really non existant at this con, though I did get Inferno in really good condition for $15

Well, back to reading up on all these messages and I'll get back to people tommorrow (shall probably collapse after I've read all the new emails/messages)

Gah... I missed the Acaeum meet-up, too... I thought I'd have a chance to see and do more this year, not having a booth...

Ah well, there will be next year... Still had a great time, altogether!

The button itself would have been worth the trip. Man, the memories you'll have every time you pull that baby out of your collection. Very cool.

They left a lot of money in Indianapolis. I think that is inexcusable. They told me to go to thier site and sign up for a "second printing". If enough people signed up they would do the printing. It just shows they do not understand thier market.

I didn't hang around long enough to hear "the only 60 copies" part. I got pissed and walked away after they told me the guy who did the 1E conversion bought a big pile of them. Nice to know he got a good investment out of his work. I look forward to seeing it on ebay.

Seriously, I'm really, really pissed. I now officially hate Goodman Games with a passion I lack the words to fully describe. Why'd they bother announcing this module on Dragonsfoot if they didn't want to sell that many? Dumbasses.

(If you think this post is harsh, I assure you that the words in my head are much nastier. Much, much nastier.)

I just don't get what all the fuss is about -- but then I don't collect stuff younger than 15 years or so. :lol:
