[Deptheads] Guest of Honor/Special Guests for Gamex

[DB]

I agree but as others have said, RPG guests aren't a big draw. 4e designers might be a draw but not too many others. 

Let's focus on getting some minis celebs out such as the Privateer Press folks. The whole Warmachine thing is the next minis phenomena and we really should be establishing a relationship with those guys to make strategicon their California/southern West Coast event home.  So far, it feels like a missed opportunity.

I think we need to make sure that we don't concentrate so heavily on
board game guests, that we give the perception we're focused only in
that area.
