Thank you to Robyn, and all the amazing GM's that make the Strategicon events not only successful, but so much fun! Every table I played at was a lot of fun( I should mention that there are number of great players whose wonderful portrayal of their characters greatly enhanced the gaming experience this past weekend as well) thanks to the hard work by our GM's.
The highlights of the convention for me were:
1. Nick Milasich's INCREDIBLE portrayal of Master of Scrolls Kreighton Shaine during Legacy of the Stonelords.
2. Playing Beacon Below. Thanks to Grant for running such a great game, and to all my fellow players it was one of the most enjoyable tables I've played at!
Lastly thanks to Mike Brock for being so generous with his alcohol!
