Aahhh, Well here is a short summary of our excursion to the Origins in Columbus and meeting the Shrapnel Crew...
We arrived and began our journey thru the various booths, games and some umm delicatly dressed up young fillies that were just hanging out all over the place, of course these Last were oogled, ah I mean checked out, er, looked at purely for Research data on the various aspects of their enlightening custums.
One well dressed young lady was wearing only a set of chain mail (and thats all) of which may be seen on Richards update posting for day 2. Tim, after great soul searching, volunteered to have a picture taken with her for strictly research data on the various attributes of various armour that was used in the past years of warfare.
Now where was I, Oh, as we wandered thru the numberous booths and displays we came upon the Shrapnel site. Now, I imagined that the Shrapnel crew probably had numerous tatoos, wore blk leather, rode harlys and all had symbiote growths upon their upper torsos

. Weelll, I was wrong again. We met Tim, Richard, Annette and Mark and found them all to be the most gracious and friendly of people one would ever want to meet. It was a pleasure to talk with them and to discuss some of the aspects of their company, SE4 and their other games. It was a very enjoyable experience and a pleasure meeting all of them. I just wish we could have spent more time with them, maybe some day we can have a Shrapenl/forum/se4 get together. I did mention this to Richard and reminded him that we discussed this possibility in the past, with all of us crashing at his house,

but he sighed and said his home was just to small for all of us
We had a great time and we look foreward to meeting them all again, possibly at the convention later this summer in Indiannapolis.
just some ideas Mac
