Gen Con '05 was a blast - four fun-filled days of crazy outfits, total gaming immersion, and using our press clout to get secret info and special treatment. The highlight, however, came on Saturday, when we were lucky enough to have an interview with Sam "Meridian" Johnson of Wolfpack Studios. It should be said that, this being our first big one on one interview, we didn't know quite what to expect from the Loremaster for Shadowbane, not to mention the man who unleashed vampires on the world. We certainly had all sorts of questions to ask: From Call of Cthulhu to Shadowbane(2?) and the Lore Server.

So it was with wobbly knees that we made our way up the escalators to room 262, where we were to meet. As we made our way towards the door, we heard "Ah, that must be them" come from the hallway to the side (You just can't get the jump on people when you wear your organization's name on your shirt and hat, I suppose). We looked over as Sam finished up conversing with a friend and wished her luck in the upcoming game.

Much to my delight, he was easy-going and very eager to talk, and quickly assuaged my trepidations about this whole thing. We certainly had all sorts of questions to ask, luckily for us, Sam was chock full of answers.
