The Tchotchkes Begin...

I may have mentioned in this space before that I will be attending the San Diego ComicCon this year (as I have the past 3 years or so). While I am generally opposed to useless gewgaws, I do love branded tchotchkes. In my collection are many lanyards, temporary tattoos, shields, swords, a crossbow, a few chemical lights, and an awesome portable fan.

Us game industry folks also occasionally get swag for our own games - I have almost 30 t-shirts from various game companies and products (most of which have been converted to rags and pot-liners).

But I finally received my first hand grenade yesterday... yup, a bona fide Stargate Worlds hand grenade, which now sits atop my monitor in case of invasion by rabid Jaffa monkeys. If this tchotchke is any indication, I think we're looking forward to a fun convention season!
