North Texas RPG Con is tempting for me to go there. Old School con, Some
of the old TSR Alumni have gone there, I know Jim Ward did when he was
alive, Chris Holmes (son of the writer of Original Basic) and others.
I was in Texas with my grandparents when I was >5 I don't remember
anything other than the smell of the oil fields/refineries. I don't
remember it, but I couldn't play outside either because of the number of
poisonous snakes. My Grandpa told the story of mowing the lawn and
having bits of snake from that several times. Somewhere around Huston or
Galveston.
