So far, based on my financial records, here are the people who are going to be at the booth, in addition to me and Jason.

Gordon Landis
Scott Knipe
Paul Czege & Danielle
Jake Norwood *
Tom Fitch
Juergen Mayer
Jared Sorensen *
Matt Gwinn *

* = cleared to sell their game(s) at the booth

I may have missed a person or two, especially people who sent money by check much earlier in the year. Mike Holmes and Ralph Mazza, are you in this category? Cynthia Celeste Holmes?

Also, Josh Neff, what's up with you? Are you in on this? How about Sean Wipfli? Dav Harnish? I have a very terrible notion that people are going to show up at GenCon expecting me to have "just known" they were coming, and that I won't have exhibitor badges for them.

This is the last call. Please contact me by email or private message here at the Forge if you want to be involved at the booth.

Best,
Ron

Hey Matt,

Oops. Cynthia Celeste Miller. Typin' too fast again ...

Seriously, people, I need this information right away. It will Suck Really Bad if you show up with a carton of games and if I can only show my palms to the ceiling. I will be way way too busy to trot to the Admin people, wait in line, and get new badges for you.

Best,
Ron

Oh yeah!

Matt Snyder, Sean Demory, James V. West, and others, I am perfectly happy (and highly motivated!) to sell copies of your games at GenCon - but you must pay the booth fee for it! That's $100.

If you want me to do this, please email me immediately.

To clarify:

1) To be an exhibitor at the booth costs $60.
2) To sell a game at the booth costs $100.

So: if you're present, and you aren't selling a game, it costs you $60. (You are free to demo and rep for a free game.) Example: Paul Czege.

If you're present and selling a specific game, it costs you $160. Example: Jake Norwood.

If you're not present, and you want us to be repping and selling your game, it costs you $100. Example: no one yet.

Best,
Ron

Hi Juergen,

Clinton won't be able to make it to GenCon this year. (All together now: indignant "Awwww!!")

Dav and I will work out any necessary arrangement. Some other people have multiple-booth obligations, like Matt Snyder, and we've figured out what to do. (But I really want to see Dav selling the cool-ass illustrated version of Violence Future! Contact me, Dav!)

Yes, I'd like to see Mike G, Mario, etc, etc, etc, everyone, all there. Hell, I'd like to see Melodie, Seth ben-Ezra, Jeff Diamond, .... c'mon, everyone. Anyone who can.

Best,
Ron

As Ron already knows (and has mentioned), I'll be there with an exhibitor badge from the Godlike folks, so I'll be splitting duties. I'll be running at least a couple Dust Devil demos and hopefully play some other stuff, too! (wanna play Charnel Gods, Universalis, InSpectres, many more!)

What's more, Dust Devils will be on sale at the booth! I'm going to be sweatin' bullets to get it finalized, but an expanded, hard-copy version of the game WILL be on sale.

Can't wait!

I have a question and this seemed like the right place to ask.

I will not be attending GenCon but I was wondering if anyone would be interested in running a demo of Dreamwalker: Roleplaying in the Land of Dreams. The book is a POD product so I don't have any copies on hand to sell but I think this might generate some interest/publicity. I would send out a free copy of the book (I only have one left) and might even be able to help with the price of the admission ticket in exchange for a demo and passing out fliers.

Please check out our website to see if Dreamwalker is a game that interests you. I would classify the rules system and intended style of play as Simulationist but I might not have the best grasp of the GNS model. There is also an RPGnet review of the game here.

Thanks,

Pete

Doesn't Jason also plan to bring two helpers to the booth (one of them being Todd Luikart)? Just wanted to post this so that they are not forgotten.

Is there room at the table for a Johnny come lately?

Hi Jerry!

Yes, get in touch with me by email or private message, and I think we can work something out.

Best,
Ron

Yes, Todd "Too Sexy" Luikart will be there helping me run the Key 20 booth. Go Todd!

Ron, if you guys prepare some promo material listing stuff folks can see at the booth, make sure I get some.

Jerry, if you're going to be over at Ron's booth, please let me know.

Ron, if you guys prepare some promo material listing stuff folks can see at the booth, make sure I get some.

Once Ron has a final list compiled, I'll make up some flyers. Just so everyone knows, I need the list by the 24th. I plan on including the names of the companies/people exhibiting, the games being sold and demoed, and a list of websites where people can get further information. So, if you're at the booth selling or demoing the game, make sure Ron and/or I have this information.

To recap:

Your name or your company name
The games you have for sale/free (let us know which is which. If you have both, please differentiate)
Your game or company website

As one of the warm bodies in the booth (he said, feeding Jason et al yet another line) - if folks want to do some pre-convention prep, I'm all in favor of it. Discussions of the demos you want to run, character creation, briefings on your rule set . . . I'll read whatever you send me, and respond/discuss as desired.

Fun times are abornin', I just knows it!

Gordon

(This seemed to be the right thread for this. If not, apologies.)

I will indeed be at GenCon on Saturday and plan on hanging out in the Forge booth for the duration of the day. I won't have an exhibitor's badge, but I'm willing to be a warm body for a demo if anyone needs an extra player. Looking forward to seeing all of you there.

Hello,

As I've said before, all flyers and free promotional material for creator-owned games will be accepted and passed out at the booth.

Best,
Ron
