At least, I sure feel like it sometimes. I know I've been promising to blog more about GenCon but that last few days have been pretty busy for me. I have been taking pictures though, so I expect that Sunday or Monday I'll get those up here for people to have a look. I have been having a good time, and I'm definitely looking forward to an 8 hour game of NSDM today and the CCP/WW party tonight.
However, back to the title of this entry, yesterday I got a chance to talk to Tony Gonzales, author of The Empyrean Age -- yes, the very same book I excoriated not that long ago. It is incredibly embarrassing to write something like that, and then find out the author of the book is quite possibly the nicest, most gracious guy you've ever met. While I don't think my opinion of the book has changed, I do understand a little more about the choices he made and I can understand most of them, even if I don't agree with them; I hope that that feeling of understanding goes both ways. Either way, I have great respect for him for actually talking about this stuff with me knowing what I thought of it, and my hat is off to him.
Anyway, hopefully I'll have another update tomorrow and I'll be able to get pictures up before the end of the weekend.
