Well Wil I hope you do make it to GenCon again. I live so close to Indy and I still I have never been. I think I still have few unusual six-side dice I would be willing to part with for a fellow D&D traditionalist like you :). Perhaps I can even get my best friend (and fellow Rush frantic from Nor Cal to come too). AKA the IL Snow Dog ;)

Wil I think that is great. I just got back from a long weekend of D&D gaming with old friends in Nor Cal myself. We try to play annually and all the wifes are very supportive. Gaming for us is a way to reconnect and relive the past together. It keeps us connected over time and distant.
