September 13, 2007: Back From Baltimore

I'm back from the Alliance show in Baltimore. Other than the weather (upper 80s and high humidity is no fun when you're dragging display materials for blocks between the hotel and the convention center, and the thunderstorms made the flight out rather bumpy), the show went fantastically.

As usual, this show had more of an emphasis on comics. As a result, I was able to put the Rigged Demo in some brand-new hands, which is always a "win" in my book. There were a good number of gaming retailers as well - it gives us a great feeling to hear some of the Munchkin success stories out there.

On a personal note, I got to see the Iron Man trailer during Marvel's presentation. Flippin' sweet! It doesn't seem to have hit the net yet (officially), but when it does . . . well, it still won't be as cool as seeing it with two hundred hollering geeks.

Warehouse 23 News: Aw, Man

We thought it was a book of pleasure maps. But no, it's Dungeon Crawl Classics #46: The Book of Treasure Maps. With a "T," as in Dungeon Crawl Classics #47: Tears of the Genie. Come to think of it, if he made the same mistake we did, no wonder the big bottle-dude is so bummed out.
