I caught up with a lot of fine people all weekend including David, Seth, and Dan!

The Weathered Dragon table looked smart. Sadly, I missed the name of the vendor just outside the door to the hall but they had a bit of everything!

Lake Geneva's own, Delaney Street Mercantile brought some of their outdoor sculpts, too, so there were dragons everywhere! Pendelhaven has a nice, consistent look tht's very inviting. Clearly, Titmouse was rocking all weekend!

Matt Finch's tomes were ready to go. We make sure to keep them in stock at LGG. Red was still going strong on Sunday. I missed Rose Estes but she was well represented.

Crystal Sully's artwork is epic! So much greatness from Chaosium. Diesel LaForce had stepped away but good to know Gary Con is still one of his conventions.

Popson is the ringleader! Kennon James is always hard at work on his art. Plus, fine maps and minis from Fallen Dominion!

David Pancake created the image I use for a background on The Okay Grognard Show, titled Wizard's Study. The 3D pieces he has at conventions (and his website) are fantastic! Dice bags at Roseshield Menagerie caught my eye. Sadly, I missed Darlene, but that's Sunday for you.

The Pirate Borg booth sure did take advantage of the ceiling height in the dealer hall! Nifty design, mateys!

@Javelin2156 Thank you for the info! A very talented artist, indeed!

@MarkCMG The young woman sitting in the Sleeping Giant booth did ALL the artwork you see on display there and in their products. She is an amazing talent to keep an eye on. brynnhage.com

Reminiscent of the TSR castle booth from bygone Gen Con days. And I love seeing so much old school style artwork!

Nice to see the "No AI" sign prominently displayed at The Forge of Ice booth. Norse Foundry had a LOT of goods! And Savage Creations specializes in props and excellent cosplay and costume pieces.

Kira's Magic Needle, Old Owl, and (Wisconsin's own) Badger Miniatures! I love the beautiful crafts and, of course, unpainted minis are my personal nemesis. As always, check their websites for goodies. Badger has garnered my traffic for years!

Artists of amazing works we all know and love had booths. I missed a few by waiting until Sunday but seeing their work is always uplifting!

So many great artists showing off their fine wares! The future of gaming art is in excellent hands!

Here's a bigger pic of the Goodman booth, along with Maidens & Melodies, and Trinamyk. I'm always seeing something new at Gary Con!

Dynamaps = Dungeonforms = Dungeon Colorforms! So cool!

Luke's father began the Castle & Crusade Society, a chapter of the International Federation of Wargaming, for medieval miniature wargaming in 1970. Steve Chenault asked Gary's blessing when naming Castles & Crusades RPG, an homage. Goodman's DCC also honors early styles of play.
