Forge Booth '06 for Monkeys, Volunteers and Supporters

[Luke]

Hello!

If you love mutualism, support and small press publishing and you're interested in helping out at the Forge booth this year, please post in this thread: your name, the days you will be at Gencon '06, your availability, the games you are comfortable with demoing and the games you can pitch in two minutes or less.

This includes former booth monkeys, folks who want to help out and folks who are helping out other publishers. You may be asked to help shlep stuff, help run demos, help pitch or to run full-blown games in the Games on Demand slot. If you are uncomfortable with any of one of these duties, do not volunteer.

Do not post questions or anything else in this thread. Don't. Post only the information I requested.

For example,
Name: Luke Crane
At Con: Wednesday to Monday
Available: All day Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. I'm busy Friday.
Can Demo: Dogs in the Vineyard, Primetime Adventures, Kill Puppies for Satan, Burning Wheel, Sooper Sekrit Project, With Great Power, Inspectres, Lacuna, OctaNe
(DO NOT POST POSSIBLIES, MAYBES OR SORT OFS. Save those for the Pitch-Savvy below.)
Can Pitch: (Do not repeat the above information) Mountain Witch, Polaris, Sorcerer, Conspiracy of Shadows, Timelords


If we need you to help out, I will be in touch.

Thanks!
-Luke

[Nev the Deranged]

At Con: Wednesday through Sunday
Available: All day, every day.
Demo: The Mountain Witch, Polaris, Dogs in the Vineyard, My Life With Master, Pretenders (from NPA)
Pitch: Sorcerer, Prime Time Adventures, It Was a Mutual Decision... (may be able to demo this if I pick up a copy before the con), Universalis*, Robots & Rapiers, Kill Puppies for Satan, Conspiracy of Shadows, Death's Door*, Under the Bed*, Breaking the Ice, Great Ork Gods, most of the No Press Anthology, Bacchanal.. that's it off the top of my head.

(* = games I could probably demo with a refresher. Uni I can run 1st Edition, UTB I could do after sitting in on one, probably Death's Door too)

By "demo" I'm assuming, based on previous discussion, "a quick example of the resolution system in action that requires little work by the participants and shows the exciting stuff without being too complicated".

I'll be around the dealer area for most of the convention, but I don't want to over-commit.

[Nev the Deranged]

Name: Dave (again)
Revisions: I ordered my copy of It Was a Mutual Decision... today, so I'll be able to demo that by contime for sure. Ralph gave me the skinny on Uni v2, so I can demo that. Also, I am reminded that I can run F*ck This!
 I also realized I don't know the new-and-improved Conspiracy of Shadows, so I could do with an update from Keithster at some point, and then I'll be good to pitch that.

 That is all.
