[Deptheads] A brief thought on panels and seminars

[Paul Tevis]

I had this conversation with my friend Ryan Macklin today (who is
going to be attending OrcCon).

SevenRev (4:49:08 PM): Are you going to do any sort of podcaster thing
at...is it Gamex?
SevenRev (4:49:12 PM): Orccon
paultevis (4:52:39 PM): OrcCon. I don't know. We've got you, me, Eric Burgess.
paultevis (4:53:04 PM): He does Boardgame Babylon.
SevenRev (4:50:03 PM): *nod*
SevenRev (4:50:46 PM): Well, I'm available if you want to tap me for
either a podcaster or design thing.
paultevis (4:54:15 PM): We're not a big panel con. Yet.
SevenRev (4:51:16 PM): *nod*
SevenRev (4:51:28 PM): You know how to become a big panel con, right?
SevenRev (4:51:34 PM): Small panels that people talk about.
paultevis (4:54:44 PM): Yep.


And he's right. We don't have a strong tradition of seminars and
panels (certainly not ones that are tremendously well-attended), but
the right way to start one is by doing one or two focused, "can't
lose"-type ones. The Knizia panel last February is a great example.
I'd like to see that sort of thing continue.
