[Deptheads] Marketing Email

[Eric Burgess]

We always hold the Play with the Creator events right in front of the BG HQ
in the ballroom. People have come to expect that and it helps for us to have
easy access to him. Most importantly, we keep these events close to help
build energy in the board games area since our culture includes more pick-up
games than most other types of gaming. Thankfully, we've had guests that
have always played more rounds when people wandered up after the scheduled
events and Matt's games have that quality.
