Title: [Origins 2005] Who's going?
Post by: GB Steve on May 03, 2005, 11:05:36 AM
Is there a planned Forge or other indie presence at this Con?

It will be my first US convention and whilst I would like to book a few mainstream games, I also love to play some of the indie stuff I've only read about.

Indeed, we'd like to hear about how to find Forgites at Origins too.  This year, we're planning to hit every major convention we possibly can.  (Free airline travel helps that alot!  Yay!)

Unlike Steve, we're really not interested in too much 'mainstream' stuff this year.  We'd like to spend our actual gaming time involved in indie stuff.  Either meeting indie people or playing indie games.  

So, let's hear it from all the designers that plan to have a presence there.

I think we'll have to organize something as I haven't heard about anything official. I'm planning on attending. The tradition is to play at least one game at the table in the corner of the breezeway that's the first to your left as you enter it coming from the hotel (not from the convention hall). Almost always free in the evenings.

Perhaps a dinner on another night? Anyone have a huge room that they'd want to offer up for play? I'm still looking into accomodations.

That's one booth for the both of them? If not, which booth for the demos? Booth numbers?

I'll be running my RealPolitik game.  If interested in learning more, here's the write-up:  http://www.originsgames.com/index.pl/review_event?&subUID=6555&evappNumber=5219

I'd love to play with any other Forge-ite there.  See ya'll in OH.

I'll be there, but I'll be doing my "other job"; running painting events for GAMA. Feel free to stop by the booth (119) in the exhibit hall and say howdy.
