[Deptheads] Orccon Space Layout

[Eric Burgess]

I think Orccon is the wrong con to try this. Please wait to do
something radical with a smaller convention where board games isn't
hosting such large events. Gamex will be quieter and a better time to
experiment.

I will have to look at the layouts we have used in the past and I know we have to put the game library and Karl in there somewhere as well.  Basically what I want to try is to have Board Games populate from the last ballroom towards the foyer and Miniatures populate the room from the foyer in, with open gaming in between the two.

The alternative to this is to have RPGs and Miniatures HQs directly opposite Board Games and the game library and populating towards each other.  Obviously this won't be a true split, Board Games will have a majority of the space.  The advantage of this is we can adjust the space to take advantage of empty tables.Mike has asked for a couple of tables by RPG HQ, which we should be able to work out or he can have some space in the foyer if he would rather do that.
