[Deptheads] Open Gaming

[Evil5757 at aol.com]

Note to everyone on Open Gaming....we got a HUGE backlash when we moved  Open 
Gaming from the center of the convention to the hallway right across from  
the Dealer's Room at the Westin because they felt "segregated from the  
convention,"
 
I am a **HUGE** proponent of having Open Gaming have a dedicated space, and  
one of the first things I did when I joined Strategicon was to champion for 
Open  Gaming to have it's own department so it didn't end up with "whatever 
space is  left" like so many cons have went to.  That said, I think the Penthouse 
for  OG will not work because of the elevator situation and the past 
"segregation"  feel that the players felt they had (even though they were right next to 
the  Dealer's Room and the Demo Foyer).  
 
Open Gaming needs a room like the Penthouse, and Patrick is right on track  
with that.  unfortunately, until we get to a hotel/convention center with  the 
ballroom space, we need to find another solution.  I honestly feel at  the 
Radisson our best hope for reviving OG is to make "OG ALLEY" and make the  rooms 
in the hallway right next to the entrance OPEN GAMING ALLEY or something  like 
that.
