[GenCon 2008] Forge Booth: Still Seeking Product and Price Info

I still need product and price info from several folks who will have new stuff and/or non-IPR-carried stuff at the Forge booth, so we can make sure the register is programmed for it (which is another way of saying "so we can actually sell your products"). 

I am looking for product pricing information from:

• Greg Stolze
• Tony Dowler
• Nathan Russell
• Justin Bow
• Eero Tuovinen

I've emailed all of the above, but it's always possible my email didn't make it for the usual reasons.  If you are these people or can nudge these people, please do so.  I need this info before August.

Nope, didn't get the email. Should have sent you the info, anyway.

The products of Arkenstone Publishing:
Zombie Cinema - $20
Solar System - $5
Solar System Group Pack - $20 (This is just a set of five Solar System booklets; I want to encourage you to get one for your mom, as well.)

Also, tell Brennan to answer my email. I wrote him about IPR business a while back, asking many questions.

You'll be transporting these products to the convention yourself, yes?

That's funny. I just sent you the information and then saw this. If you don't get the e-mail, let me know.

Ahh, the last minute scramble to get product information programmed in the register...how well I remember it, how much I don't miss it...

Unless you're gonna be hard core about it, I recommend having a cheat sheet for how to program the register handy (I packed it on top of the foam inserts).  When I had register duties, there was always someone wanting to be programmed in last minute at the con.

Yeah, we've pretty much had this covered since last year.  Thanks!

Quite so. I'm hoping you'll have space for the stock for the return trip, though.

Space in the sense of "we'll be shipping stuff back", yes. :)

I still don't have a price from Nathan Russell (for Space Rat), and I don't have one from Tony Dowler (How To Host A Dungeon), unless I've missed some message somewhere.

Any clues?

Hey Fred,

I don't suppose you've had time to put together a price list/menu handout for this year, have you?  Those were really handy last year.

How many menus are generally needed? Are they laminated sheets or what?

I won't be doing a specialized menu this year, just a price list with little icons for what's available to be demo'd in-booth.  I don't intend to print them such that they need to be folded (that was huge extra effort last year), and I don't intend to print more than a few hundred.  I only have about 24 hours on the ground at home before heading out for GenCon in all of the two weeks prior to GenCon this year, so even this is really going to stress the time-budget.

Hey Eero,

As Fred's response suggests, the menus for last year were folded sheets of 8.5 x 11 paper.  You can find a <a href="http://www.indie-rpgs.com/forum/index.php?topic=24232.0">link to the PDF in this post.

Fred, if there's some way I can help with this in the next few days, just let me know.

Appreciate it, Steve. I just need to get back in town from California first before I can get my bearings enough to know what needs doing.

Hey, Fred:

Just so we're clear, I'm okay with you selling Polaris apart from TABAW at GenCon. I was toying with a marketing strategy but decided it was a bad idea.

Also, no one else should be carrying copies of Polaris at GenCon. So no extra copies other than what IPR thinks it can sell (I imagine, given TABAW, that sales might be better this year than expected.)

I'll be bringing 200 copies of a "Demo Guide" listing all the games available for demonstration, with a few words about each.  I think it'll be handy for people working the booth to familiarize themselves with the assortment as well as for customers.  It all fits on a single sheet of letter, booklet folded for four sides.
