OK, if we are telling our "Encounters with the DLOH" stories, here's
mine:

We brought Tom Dowd into Omaha for our local gaming convention (Nuke
Con) about three years ago, and had a great time with him at the con,
could not have asked for a better guest of honor. THen, Sunday night
after the con, he runs a Shadowrun game for the con staff, all up close
and personal. What a cool thrill to run my very first SR character in a
game GMed by the original DLOH himself...
