What is the "Gathering of Friends?" Just a con or something more important?.

Some con or something.... it's all I know.

It's a con that Alan Moon runs.

Brian,

Who are the other folks in the photo? I'm sure you enjoyed the 'con'.

I'd be interested in a post that hit a few of the high-lights. I'd love to enjoy it vicariously. Share the wealth!

OK, so I went and checked out the Gathering of Friends online. Needless to say I'm so freakin' jealous. A whole week of gaming with designers and prototypes?!

Ah well...

Check Rick's site (Boardgamenews.com). He's posting daily pics.

From left to right, it is
Marty Hoff (from Austin),
???,
Tom Lehmann (the game designer, CA),
myself,
Mark Delano (CT).

I originally thought the mystery man was Henning Kropke (from Austria). But on closer inspection, that's not Henning. I don't remember.

Mark was one of two attendees that took my lab when I was in grad school teaching. The game shown is Hacienda.

I normally don't play prototypes at the Gathering, with the exception of Tom's. [Tom sometimes posts on my blog, btw]. And normally I only play his if they're done and just being polished (card costs, etc).

I've got some minor comments on my site, I'll post a wrap up later. I'm tired.
