Title: Gen Con Cash Register
Post by: Valamir on July 25, 2006, 12:25:13 AM
Once again I'm providing the cash register that will be used at GenCon.  This year, instead of being staffed by overworked underpaid volunteers, Brennan of IPR will be providing the manpower to run it.

However, I will be programming it prior to GenCon (because its a PITA to program on site).

That means if you're selling product at GenCon, I need to know the pricing information, name, publisher, and name of the person (presumeably you) who will be collecting the money.

Over in The Menu thread (http://www.indie-rpgs.com/forum/index.php?topic=20525.0)  Alexander is putting together the game menu.  I'm intending to use that menu to program in all of the prices in the cash register, so if you aren't on it yet, get on it.

Also if you're intending to sell anything that isn't going to be on the menu (T-shirts, buttons, whatever) let me know in this thread seperately.  I highly discourage such practice as its tended to waste alot of space with little sales but I'll leave that call to Luke. 

Bottom line is, if it isn't on the menu and it isn't in this thread, it isn't getting put in the Cash Register.

If it isn't in the cash register, it isn't getting sold at Gen Con.

Last year I had to hunt some folks down to get the information.  This year, I don't intend to do so.

Unless it's veto'd by the aformentioned Luke, I will be also selling "I play dead people" T-shirts for $20 each.  Same as last year.

thanks,

James

Good thing Rob pointed this out to me -- I don't check the forge regularly enough. :)

Don't Rest Your Head should be arriving on IPR's doorstep today (tracking says it's out for delivery).

Cover price: $15 ($14.95, but why necessitate nickels)

Thanks folks.

Just to be clear...if your game is going to be on the game menu (link at the top of this thread) that Iskander is putting together, you don't need to announce it to me seperately.  If its on that menu, I'll get it off of that menu. 

The only thing I need you let me know seperately is anything that won't be on that menu, such as:

Non game items (like T-shirts, buttons, whatever)
IPR or Wicked Dead games that will be available but not part of the Forge menu.
Any other game that is going to be sold via the IPR booth but which is not part of the Forge demo menu (which as far as I know shouldn't be any unless there's special dispensation from Luke).

I'm selling Agon, $20. It's listed in the menu under "one.seven design" (which is correct), but the money should go to me, John Harper.

Thanks.
