Comments on: Comic-Con Report, Day 1 (for me) https://www.forbeck.com/2006/07/28/comic-con-report-day-1-for-me/ Award-winning & New York Times-bestselling author and game designer Sun, 17 Sep 2006 02:37:53 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Matt Forbeck https://www.forbeck.com/2006/07/28/comic-con-report-day-1-for-me/#comment-3569 Fri, 28 Jul 2006 17:31:40 +0000 http://www.forbeck.com/?p=666#comment-3569 Christian: At Comic-Con I still feel like a fan. I spent a load of money on books and comics, and I staggered around stunned at all the sights. Lots of times I can’t even get near some of the more famous comics creators I know, as the huge lines keep me away.

I’ll happily take the Walter B. Gibson tag. I’m no magician, but I fiddled with the stuff as a kid. Also, I’m a huge fan of Houdini (as those who read Brave New World: Bargainers might guess), another Wisconsin boy done good.

It also highlights how your very approachable personality is not only responsible for how much fans like me respect you, but also plays a key role in how much you work.

Speaking of which (writing of which?), if you keep working at the pace you are working at I’ll have to call you the Walter B. Gibson of the Gaming Profession.

Know any magic tricks?

Just step up and say hi. I have a crazy time at shows, but it was even wilder when back when I had to run a booth too.

Sean: If my career makes sense, I’ll let you explain it to me over a beer at Gen Con. 🙂

And it still amazes me to read about it like this. Your entire career makes so much more sense when one takes a look at how you do this.

We have a lot to talk about at GenCon, amigo!
