SSI didn't really have an open booth- they had a conference room on the floor, but back away from the body of the traffic - so it was a good relaxed location to talk about their multitude of new games.  I was amazed to see that every game I saw looked great.  Not a dog among 'em.  Two new AD&D titles, adventure, action, and a great war game.  SSI's lineup looks terrific, and I'm not just saying that because they gave me something to drink and a place to sit down!
