Yes, it was fun. It was fun seeing everyone coming up to the table(s)and you
could see them reliving their childhood(or adult hood) with Lego. One man
was even passionate and almost brought in a huge destroyer ship, although I
think his kids stopped him from bringing it(had to carry other things). I
thank Chris for the bringing of chips, and rules. Along with helping me
understand the editing weapons stats, and the trolls from standard figs. I
especially thank James for bringing all the terrain, figs, weapons, and
buildings(besides chris' grotto, and shrine, along with his army). Im sorry,
though, that I wont make it to Indy, unless something drastically changes,
as I dont have a ride to Indy, and I cant drive until the summer after.
James, ill be sure to correct you in your few mistakes on the write up you
sent me(im suprised on how much you remembered ;) ) I thank you two for
everything(oh and evan for the accomadations, ride and company throughout
gencon)
Thanks,
Dylan J
