Thanks for a phenomenal weekend!

[Gembar]

I'd like to extend a huge thank you out to all the people of PaizoCon for a weekend that not only lived up to my expectations, but exceeded them. To Dale, Jason, Andrea, Robin, Walter an JP for their excellent GMing skills and not slaughtering the rookie on-sight '-) ; to all the many players who truly got out there and RPed, not just hack-n-slashed; to Cosmo and the other dealer-room staff who so expertly tracked down things I was looking for and even brought in a few in response to my frantic tweets; to Mark and Hiram (Hope I'm not butchering spellings here) who orchestrated the PFS tables and made sure we were all in the right spot according to level. Also to Mark for our conversation at the end there. I come away from the con with so many awesome memories--Uromi(sp) the tap-dancing bard and his player Andy's antics up on the chair when his countersong got through the villainess's shenannigans, the outrageously comical scene of mayhem as our group of 8 Kendar decided to hit the bar, then with one of the same players from that first session, finishing off the weekend with an intriguing investigation into the goings-on at Ramat Bridge. And I mustn't forget Majuba(sp) and his wondrous Goblin Brain!! It was kind of like one last lingering memory of the con as we were about to land back here in Anchorage...back to the plainness of day-to-day living. Know that I'll be coming back home away from home next year! '-) Many thanks to everyone once again!

Yes indeed! Many thanks to all of the GMs and Paizo Staff for the excellent Con!

Hear, hear!

Many thanks to all well met this weekend: from Wolfsnap and Majuba/his significant other (whose REAL name I can recall, but not her forum name...sorry) at the meet-and-eat, to some of the luminaries of Paizo at the seminars -- Eric, James, Wes, Sean, Jason, Lisa, and Rob -- to the various contestants of RPG Superstar (Clinton Boomer, James Nelson, and the aforementioned Rob McCreary), as well as the 2009 winner Neil Spicer (with whom I would've gotten to play on Friday evening, if I could count) and the other members of the RPG Superstar seminar, Ryan and Clark, to Crystal and her marvelous mapping ideas, to the legendary (and extraordinary taleteller) Ed Greenwood, to the wonderful Bryan and Shannon Stiltz at the Reaper booth, to Wolfgang at the KQ booth, and to GMs Mat for running Friday's Grand Melee and Kyle for making Midnight Mauler a game to remember. (Not to mention all of the names I've forgotten!)

I can't wait to go back next year!

[Gembar]

Yeah--I wish I had a doppelganger to take my day-job and a time machine to throw me ahead to next year's PaizoCon! Oh well--back to the plain and mundane world of blegh--

That's a good thing, right? ;-)

Kyle didn't run Midnight Mauler, I lost the chronicle sheet, so I should know.

Also, thanks to all of you for making my first PaizoCon an event to remember. It was absolutely fantastic getting to actually play with a number of you, and equally cool to get to sit down and talk shop. All jokes aside, Kyle puts out an absolutely tremendous amount of prep work for his events; they make mine look they're being run by a 5-year old with a crayon.

I'll have more to say later. Just wanted to point out funomenal was misspelled in the title. I flagged the post so the mods can hopefully fix it.

Let's put it this way: the award for The World's Hottest Dice on a Saturday goes to newly-minted five-star GM Kyle Baird.

...but yeah, it's a Good Thing [tm]. :-)

Thanks for so much fun and too much stuff to list. Pretty nifty con. Sorry I didn't get a chance to talk to more people, and glad I talked to as many as I did.

Special thanks to all my players and Curaigh for running the one game I got to play. :)

My first Paizocon, expectations exceeded! It was so cool to be talking to other random Pathfinders and find out ... YOUR A DEVELOPER ヽ(´ー｀)ノ

Mind blown and good times were had. I would like to thank all the DM's for the great games and letting spectators in when it was available. I really appreciated the great games, talks and introspective conversations on the game I've grown to <3.

[Gembar]

Yeah, exactly! Or the time I thought I was sitting down to PFS and turned out to be another awesome setting entirely! And that the guy running it was actually one of the developers...I'm coming back next year--no questions asked!!

Your ONLY chance to play?!? Well I am honored you let that be me :) (and I will be back next year :) Thanks all!

[Bigg D]

I agree totally it was much fun, just wish I got more sleep...this is gonna be a long work week but totally worth it. Thanks all I will be there next for sure.

[DM Dougbear]

My wife and I also had a fantastic time! (She was the person with the shoulder dragon and brightly-colored knitted clothing.) We both want to give many thanks to the Paizo staff, the guests of honor, the other wonderful folks in the gaming industry, and the fans. We've never been to a convention that had such a high ratio of "famous people to not-famous people", and yet everybody was very friendly and accessible.

Special thanks go to Dale McCoy Jr. for giving us 8 kender the chance to wreak mayhem on a bar (and indulge my desire to sing a couple of kender bard songs), and to Raylyynsedai for giving us the chance to unravel the mystery of Who Shot J.R.?

Lisa and the Paizo staff sure know how to throw a good party.

I'm gonna blame auto-correct. (Even though I don't have a smart phone.)

Sorry, Jason! <sheepish grin>
