[Deptheads] D&D 4e Launch

[PJSZeta5 at aol.com]

I concur with Patrick...everytime I tell my friends about the con I always  
did refer to it as Strategicon sometimes they get confused when I say OrcCon or 
 Gamex or even Gateway.

Robert,
 
D&D minis would be under collectables, we  have run them in the past, but I 
can't remember from last con.  That is  Victor, and he has some contacts at 
WOTC, so speak with him as well, as he is  an "insider" so to speak.
 
I'd just like to have them be "Strategicon  presents Orc Con", Strategicon 
presents Gamex", etc so that people understand  that we are all connected.  To 
be honest I'd like it to be "Strategicon -  Winter" instead of Orc Con, but 
understand that we need to keep some history  associated with the names.

Would D&D Miniatures - the WotC collectible skirmish game - be  put under 
Minis, CCG or Board Games for our conventions?     Is it Jose, Victor or Patrick? 
 
Also, did we have any D&D minis events happen at OrcCon? 
 
I ask because we are trying to talk with Wizards about making Gamex the  West 
Coast "Launch Point" for 4th edition D&D and I want to sweeten the  deal by 
promoting their minis game as well.   WotC launches  the new edition of their 
miniatures game in April with the first expansion  in May and the second in 
June.   
 
We are very lucky because Paul Tevis knows lots of WotC people and he  has 
his award winning RPG podcast and Mike Rizzo - our RPGA guy - is also  the West 
Coast RPGA director so we have some leverage.   I really  want to beat 
KublaCon on this.  Kubla has a history of WotC Special  Guests, but I am hoping we 
can make this happen because it would be an  enormous marketing kudos for us.   
If anyone else has WotC  contacts, please let me know!
 
Also, if we get "Launch Point" status, I hope we can get permission for  our 
dealers to sell 4e books and 4e OGL books as well.  4e books  hit the US 
shelves on June 6th, but Hungary will be selling them  two weeks early supposedly. 
 
Who is our primary D&D book seller in the dealer's room? 
 
- Robert
 
PS: I thought we were going to rename Gamex and Gateway!!   I  want GoblinCon 
to go with OrcCon!   OgreCon and TrollCon are  already taken though.
