Gen Con: ‘Puter troubles

August 15, 2009 by The Chatty DM

Yesterday morning, I wrote a 775 word article on my 1st day of the Con.

The post got eaten by WordPress (I can’t even recover autosaves it seems) and I only noticed last night.

So I’ve decided that I will not post daily updates of my activities and will do a ‘Highlights and Lessons Learned’ post upon my return.

And yes, I’m having a blast, met great people and got to have dinner and a few beers with the D&D Insider team and other D&D developers.  I learned that something big might be brewing on the horizon about D&D for kids.

    775 words down the pan…ouch, don’t you just hate it when that happens? 🙁

    I usually backup my long posts in notepad. But now and then I get carried away writing something directly into the browser and I forget to backup. And it’s always then that the gremlins strike!

    I usually save as I write. I must have done something. Anyhoo. I’m back on track. Stay tuned for Gen Con goodness.
