Big news for Italians and European fans (yes, that means British ones too   ). During the Lucca Games & Comics fair, the biggest Italian gaming convention, from October, 31 to November, 2 there will be some heavyweight guests: Margareth Weis of DragonLance fame    (just October, 31 however), Larry Elmore    (all three days), John Kovalic    (of Dork Tower fame) and others. The fair is of course in Lucca, a lovely small city, with a wonderfully preserved medieval center and HUGE city walls, located in Tuscany. So you can have gaming, excellent food, great views and history rolled in just one weekend and entice your significant half to follow you (or giving permission to go...).  If you want more info, you may go to Lucca Comics & Games SRL - Home web site.
