TRoS at Hexacon
Well, I'm back from my very first ever Con; Hexacon. I was a very loyal fanboy, and did my best to expose people to TRoS.
First off, Retailer Report: Imperial Outpost is still the only store in Phoenix currently carrying TRoS, and they do have the revised printing in. However, I did drop the name of the game and Driftwood whilst searching around at other Dealers, though I didn't remember the distributor name to drop, so I must apologize for that. However, hopefully it will help sell to a few more stores, esp. considering I dropped the loaded phrase "Yeah, Outpost is the ONLY store to carry it...".
Other than that, what good did I work for Driftwood? I ran two games of TRoS, exposing 7 players to it whom had never had any experience with it. I also answered several questions for passing gamers curious about the game, but who were unable to schedule in time to play. I'll post some details of the actual games in Actual Play. I think I'll ensure at least 2 or 3 sales due to the exposure from these games, though.
Welp, off to Actual Play...

Lance-
Thanks! Really! That's what makes the game grow. Guys going out and playing it with other people at cons, shops, and demos. Sweet, really. Can't wait to hear about it in Actual Play.

Yeah, well err.. 'bout that... I had a nice little (or not so little) post about the games I played at Hexacon written up and ready to send when I was booted offline. I copied the text into a .txt file so I could post it when I could get back online, but my mother was on the phone for a while, and I had to get ready for work.. The short of it is, I hadn't actually *saved* the text file, and when I spaced it off and went to work, it kinda got.. closed.
So I have to rewrite it. I'll probably do that after I wake up later on today. It was cool, though.
