In Which The Warlock Holds His Cards Close to the Chest...

Sorry about the late entry once more, fellow gamers.  I just got back from GenCon Indy last night, after running sessions of The Laundry for Cubicle 7.  While I had a blast, and I'm eager to share my thoughts on the games and the convention itself, I'm still organizing all of my pictures, and getting my thoughts together.
