Have a good time!
I am off (and I am leaving too) myself in about 10 days. To watch about 23-24 Boy Scouts at camp. It should be loads of fun. 
I hear they have Wi-Fi in the adult only, air-conditioned, coffee brewing, room they have below the dining hall. So, all is well!

You can do it Accalia! Get out there and write. Writing will help everything. Just formulating ideas and jotting them down in strange patterns can help.

Subject: Sounds great Steel!
I won't be able to make it to GenCon too soon not enough money type of thing. And with other things going on in my life it just isn't in the cards.
The exhibit hall was a lot of fun. I did end up buying a 6th edition HERO System Basic book. And my buddy bought a bunch of stuff as well. So people do buy there! Especially if you are putting your game out there in the RPG area. I know that Evil Hat Productions sold around 200 copies or so of their books for The Dresden Files. And those things aren't cheap either. And they use FUDGE dice so they were selling them as well.
There was also the other rooms that I didn't mention (as I am more involved with the RPG aspect). They had a board game room that was huge with any game you would ever want to play. They had a Card Game room. A miniature game room. And of course they had LARP events as well. It was definitely an eye opener. I thought it was very well attended (although people said it wasn't as many as last year). I think last year everything was shoved closer together, maybe they spread it farther apart to get more things in but didn't quite make there goal? I don't know.
Anyway I hope you have a good time at GenCon. I would like to hear something about it when you come back!

That's why I added the part about more pluses and studying on the monsters.
If I would be able to get a couple of additional pluses or if the DC could be lowered a smidgen because of my studying than it would be good. But Mr. C needs to be able to let us know that!

Subject: Origins in Columbus 2010
(This is kind of long but it runs down the gist of my experience with it.)
I had the chance to head over to Origins a couple of weekends ago and I had a blast! At first the money I shelled out for my son and I to go seemed to be way too much.
Cons:
The organization of the event wasn't the best. I certainly would have done it differently, but hindsight is 20/20 (honestly I don't even know what that means) right?
The D&D games were all way off on a different floor and a whole room by themselves. First day I was there I didn't even know they had anything at the show at all. When I did finally find them I was perusing the books. Some gentleman came behind me and I was told to step aside while the gentleman behind the counter helped the other men behind me. What the heck is that about? UGh! I was livid. Anyway we left there and didn't even sit to play a game.
Pros:
Their LARP dungeon adventure based on D&D 3.5 was very cool. In fact every day they expanded the adventure from the day before. And after you have gone through the adventure you were allowed to be an NPC for the adventure. All and all it was very nicely done. The cute little Dark Elf lady wasn't bad either. And no I didn't even mind that when she healed me behind enemy (zombie) lines that she hit me in the head with the heal spell (Gadzooks, that smarts!) Anyway I digress, it was a lot of fun. My son and his friends stayed the rest of the day NPC'ing for them.
I started out early in the morning wanting to get in a RPG game of a different sort. It was a HERO System 6th Edition Champions game. The GM made it a lot of fun, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Basically we went from making characters to a full on partial adventure (with completion) in four hours.
Then my buddy and I walked around and enjoyed many of the sites (pretty scantily clad dressed women {not just women mind you women that knew the stuff that most of us there did!}). These places knew who their market audience was and really knew how to push the envelope.
My buddy was there to GM a new release of the RPG The Dresden Files (Which is an awesome game that Odyson and I are now playing, well character created anyway). His game was a wonderful success, and we got to watch some of the other Dresden games as we walked about.
In the halls later I saw the guy who GM'd the Champions game I went on earlier. He asked us to come sit in on another game he was GM'ing in the HERO System world called Fantasy Hero (similar to D&D but magic system was way better). His world of Fantasy Hero was called Narosia: Sea Of Tears. It was a nicely done world and he had every base covered in his game. Here we played pre-generated characters to make things go quicker. It was quite a blast and we ended at 12am.
With a long 2+ hour ride back from Origins I was ecstatic. It was quite a good time, my son had a lot of fun, my buddy had fun, and his sons had fun. All and all it was a great weekend, and I can't wait to do it again next year!
Maybe then Odyson can get a weekend to go as well.

Topic: The Rolling Darkness Q&A
Subject: NOt sure Ody...
Unless there was some reason for us to look deeply into Kobold lore we probably wouldn't know much about the different types.
Now on the other hand if we used a certain type of magic against them and saw that it had no effect, then we would know more and be able to adjust our methods of evisceration. 
So it depends on whether or not we can make a Monster Knowledge check (given any +, or -'s depending on type of knowledge and whether studied or not given the quest). With Arcana I can check to see this information and I have a +11 to do so. Looking through the PLHBK page 180 it looks like I would be going against a DC of 25 (for resistances and vulnerabilities). So I would need to roll greater than 14.
Thing I am wondering is whether or not we would have the time to do so. How long would a check like that take, my guess is it would take at least a move action. Considering I am moving currently to cast in the blast radius than it probably wouldn't be until my next turn.
Unless I am looking at it all wrong which occasionally happens...

Topic: The Rolling Darkness - Chapter one
Subject: By the energies of the East lay low these nefarious creatures!
{Roll 14 +4 = 18, depending on where I sit in the queue I will do below.}
Graven's eyes set ablaze as his magic hand moves the book out of his way. Graven sets himself in a position off to the side to allow for him to hit all of his targets at once without hitting his comrades. He knows to well what this spell can do and readies for it.
You see Graven's eye twinkle brilliantly as he brings out a crystalline orb in his right hand. The orb itself is entwined with magic and to stare at it to long could drive you mad. Graven holds the orb high above his head as if calling to the sky itself. You hear an invocation from Graven's mouth that you cannot fully comprehend. And he raises his left hand as a wave of energy comes charging through him from the sky. The energy springs forth with a sound of a 'KRAKOOOOOOW' in an arch covering the area where the kobolds once stood.
{Thunderwave -
Attack: Intelligence vs. Fortitude
Hit: 1d6 + Intelligence modifier (+4) thunder
damage, and you push the target a number of
squares equal to your Wisdom modifier (+3).
Area of Effect: (Page 272 in PlHB) Close Blast 3
Magic Orb +1: +5 attack, 1d6+5 damage}
{Roll to hit 23, 23, 14, 16, 15 listed below -
18 Your total roll is 23 and a mod of 5.
18 Your total roll is 23 and a mod of 5.
9 Your total roll is 14 and a mod of 5.
11 Your total roll is 16 and a mod of 5.
10 Your total roll is 15 and a mod of 5. }
{This would be from where I am to the left of the oncoming hoard and trying to get everyone in the blast. So it may get one shield and one slinger with the first two to hits, or it may get both shields with the first two. Maybe roll and number them to check for to hits. I don't know! }
{Damage (rolled once per plhbk): 9 damage to any of them that are hit (rollhere) - 4 Your total roll is 9 and a mod of 5.}

Subject: Aloof as usual...
As we are walking along Graven has his head buried in a book. Consciously studying all he can on Kobolds and their lairs or homesteads. His is quite aloof at any noise going on about him as he is studying. He seems to be mesmerized  by what he is reading.
(Perception Check roll 15 needed 13. Bah!)

Are we making the rolls? If so is it ok to do it via the dice roller program here. Don't want my boss knowing I am rolling dice.
Also how would you like us to portray that?
I mean for Perception I rolled a 15. I need under a 13 to perceive anything. So I am thinking I am greatly aloof at the moment. Maybe reading or something? Is that kind of the way you forsee it as well?

Graven looks around and puts his hood back up, "Pardon my enthusiasm Captain. I think that I could definitely use the bounty. And I am just cheerful that you see my talents as something of use for this mission."
"No worries good Erevan. I could probably use the kobold nail in a formulae of some type." Graven smiles eerily, "I think we will have proof enough for the good Captain when we're done."

Subject: Aye aye captain, my captain...
Graven stands before the captain somewhat astonished. He says, "Kobolds!? Attacking caravans? But it's been years since those vial creatures have gone back to the dark! Why? Why now? Interesting. Very interesting... I have much studying and contemplation to do on this subject." As this is being said a magical hand pulls a book from a satchel that Graven carries over his shoulder. The hand opens to a page that was already earmarked. Graven pulls his hood down to get a better view of the book and the Captain.
Graven's left eye seems to twinkle just a bit, "Captain, this sounds like a mission of great importance. Who else will be joining us in this? I would like all information you have on these attacks. Where they attacked, who they attacked, and how they attacked. I'd like the information as soon as possible so we can get supplies and get on our way. No one should have to suffer from the hand of kobold..."
Graven seems to be almost bouncing at the opportunity of all this.
