To GenCon game-release publishers

Hello,

Ken Hite asked me to post this here.

He's looking for blurbs about the new games that will be available at GenCon.

Peter Adkison has asked me to put together a page for the GenCon Indy program book highlighting what various RPG companies plan to have New For GenCon at the show.

Can you shoot a request around to the Busy Elves at the Forge, and
ask them to tell me what's Neat And Keen about their new game in a
couple of choice sentences or a paragraph, or even just point me to a
webpage touting the product in question?


Please impress upon them that this should only be New Products For GenCon, and that they should actually plan to have it there to sell
-- if they're wrong, they'll be the ones endlessly explaining why it
isn't there, after all, not me.


Ron's Warning: do not waste Ken's time. He is only looking for games which are going to be newly available at GenCon 2003 in Indianapolis. Hence I will not be sending him a blurb of my own, for instance. Please honor his request and don't send either (a) material regarding a game that's already out and being played/sold, or (b) material regarding a game that you sure would like to write one day.

Best,
Ron

Hi Paul,

Right away. Everyone who's eligible, run don't walk.

And I was stupid enough to forget to post his email:

Best,
Ron
