So I'm back from the exhausting, glorious weekend in Lucca Comics & Games 2009, italy greatest convention dedicated to games and comics.
All the time I've been in the games area, where lots of great experiences happened in two days.
First, Ben Lehman's Polaris Italian Edition (deluxe) was released, with my illustrations together with Artzybasheff's. To see what I mean, check my recent pictures. It's been great, and all people were very kind and warm to me. It feels strange to be the only illustrator of the two still alive, though...
Second, we finished the second printing of Fred Hicks' Don't Rest Your Head Italian edition. We're off for the third printing!
Third, Janus Design won best Best of Lucca Games with Don't Rest Your Head's supplement Don't Lose Your Mind, italian edition. I'm so proud of being part of the Janus group!

Also, I've been spending lots of money in games (yay! Semel in anno licet insanire!). The italian editions of Nathan Paoletta's Annalise and Seth Ben Ezra's Dirty Secrets by Narrattiva are simply astonishing, With Annalise possibly being the best graphic work I've ever seen in any rpg.

And then a small highlight on Bruno Faidutti's boardgame Ad Astra [link] which I've just finished trying ad was incredibly quick to understand and fun to play. I already knew Faidutti's Mission Red Planet and loved it, but Ad Astra is possibly even better!
