[Deptheads] Miniature Bootcamp

[Evil5757 at aol.com]

Definitely.  The primary goal of the Special Projects Team is still to  
have events that are "eye candy" and/or cannot be done anywhere else but the  
Strategicon conventions.  As I see it, we will still be handling it at  
Orccon and hopefully be able to hand it off after that and concentrate on some  
other events we want to do.

John is  supervising the demos, because no one else stepped up to run them. 
 He  and his gaming group jumped in to deal with it (Kudos) during the 
feedback  discussion at Gamex '09.  A participant suggested miniatures offer 
what  boardgames does in the way of a bootcamp.  That was the genesis of what  
was run at Gateway and will be refined at Orccon.  John and his folks are  
looking to hand the demos over to miniatures as soon as things are in better  
shape.

I also do not see Miniature bootcamp as  something that should ever be a 
separate department within the Strategicon  organization, just as I don’t see 
boardgame bootcamp being separate from the  Boardgame department, nor the 
Paint and take being separate from the  Miniature Department.  Any movement 
toward this direction either means  that the Miniature department isn’t doing 
its job and its department heads  need replaced, or this is another 
artificial division of territories that is  tearing the management of Strategicon 
gaming conventions apart, and I have  to admit this isn’t something that I 
thought we were here to do:  “feed  our egos”.  Our job as department heads to 
to pull together as a team  and produce a great event.  I am questioning 
myself about this vision  as I participate in our board discussions and as I 
work to schedule events  and GMs to build a better  convention.
