[Deptheads] Justin Gary - Ascension - OrcCon 2010

[Eric Burgess]

Have we 100% confirmed with Roger? Maybe we could get him for Gamex instead,
paired up with Richard Borg (who confirmed last year for Gamex). Not that
Rodger, Bruno and Justin wouldn't be cool - just thinking about costs.

Yes, RJ is right - Bruno is an international guest and so we're paying for a
ticket from France. But he also never goes to US conventions outside private
events like Alan Moon's Gathering of Friends so he will be a good draw for
us. He's designed many popular games played at our conventions including
Incan Gold, Citadels, Mission Red Planet and dozens more. Lots of his games
are very party, large-group friendly as well - which should work out nicely
like the Looneys did. I expect to get the details hammered out in the next
day or so and then we can begin a marketing blitz about it. I will talk to
his various publishers in the US to get support.

Vic - We haven't seen any prize/library support at all for board games so
it's invisible to us - and we are the department that would support their
product lines the most. Please ask them to send stuff right away because it
seems like we hear things are coming but then nothing ends up arriving by
the time the convention rolls around and there is some excuse about not
getting the message in time. Everything they can send it is in their
warehouses now so there is no reason for delay. Isla Dorada and Ad Astra are
available now. We could use a copy of Citadels - and we'd love prize support
for them if they are willing. Thanks for the extra effort to get them going
this time.
