    1) You can borrow my camera from now on – something with some Image Stabilization on it 😉

    2) Those 3D Dungeon Tiles look like they’d be awesome.

    3) Keep it coming.

    Is it just me…or does it appear that the average age of the con goer these days is closer to 35 than 15?

    Not that this is a bad thing mind you…just different.

    A couple friends and I went to GenCon 08 and shot a documentary about the whole thing. Some of you may have seen us there. We did a lot of our interviews in the D&D hall. It was nice and quiet compared to the other rooms. To see how the documentary is going check out http://www.hobocon.com
