[Deptheads]space and exposure

[Eric Burgess]

I think this is a great idea - nice big signs. The way we published demos in
the conbook wasn't optimal but we still had people in every demo we ran all
day long, I guess it worked. We had to turn people away so I may seek out
another helper for next time.

Optimally, it would be cool to have demos in the Foyer since they are, as I
think Ryan said, 'opportunity games'. But we had plenty of traffic where we
were in front of board games HQ so that space is fine, too.

Hopefully the dealers liked that the con provided demos for games they were
selling (and I did notice the games on our demo schedule on their shelves -
thanks, Janice). Some sold out or pretty well, as I understand it. Did they
have any feedback on that? I am looking for confirmation that we should do
this again for Gamex since I need to reach out to the publishers now about
what will be coming out at that time so we know what we should be showing
off.
