GenCon was fun — saw a lot of old friends and met a lot of new ones, and plenty of new customers discovered our store for the first time. Running the booth was a great learning experience and we learned a lot about how to run things from a logistical standpoint. Now that I know what to expect, things will go more smoothly next year.

Also, Star Wars Roleplaying Game: Saga Edition made out very well at the ENnies: We won the gold ENnies for Best Rules, Best d20/OGL Product, and Best Game, and we got the silver ENnie for Product of the Year. Yeah … we’re just that good.

Congrats to everyone else on the design team: Rodney Thompson, Owen K. C. Stephens, and especially Chris Perkins, who took on the roles of design manager, game designer, and managing editor at the same time. (Oh, and he was also the liaison with the D&D 4th edition team, bringing new ideas for us to play with as we went along.) Put simply, Chris is the iron man of the gaming world.

Alright, I have some pics to share after the jump, so click through if you’re interested!
