[Deptheads] Get events up ASAP!

Sat Jun 5 14:13:17 PDT 2010

As soon as someone else is ready to take it over, the Cribbage is all  
theirs. We just want to do it because it should be offered and we want to get in 
 it as well. So we should plan on doing it this convention and having 
someone  else do it from Orccon on then?

As to  Cribbage, I'd hold off on that. One idea that has been tossed around 
a little  is to bring back the traditional card games as a sub department 
under board  games (much like Karl runs war games). We even have a potential 
person to do  this -- Dan O'Farrell -- however, I don't think we'll do it 
for Gateway. And  no, we haven't talked to Dan yet.  

Right now this is in the development stages. One of the purposes is to  
broaden the appeal to families with "non-gaming" spouses. But it's just in the  
idea stage tight now, and has been tossed out on occasion over the last 
couple  of years. I now think we might want to seriously consider it.

Oh, I definitely agree on your points here. I brought in 2 LARP  
specialists last convention to get the lay of the place and get ready for  possibly 
doing some in 2011 (they have new baby...can't do it right now). We  are 
looking at Boardgames because I actually left open the Sunday noon  timeframe so 
we could get in the Cribbage tournament, and there was none. So  we will do 
the Cribbage tournament and a couple of my guys like the complex  space 
games that are out, and I think they want to do one of those. We are  also 
kicking around bringing back the Mega-Colliseum Circus Maximus  event.

There are some events we were going to do but have backed off of since  
others have started them, such as an on-going Formula De event and the  
Battletech Mega-Arena, both now being done by someone else.

I can see where Gayle is coming from here. Board Games hardly needs  help 
at the moment, especially with the revitalization we've just had with  Neil's 
hard work as our Events Manager. We just had more events than ever  before, 
a huge turnout for the Settlers and TTR events and the two special  guests 
at Gateway 2010 are board game focused.

As much as you all know I like to get resources for Board Games, if the  
purpose of Special Events is to ignite some interest in departments that  
could use a boost, perhaps now is the time to focus on LARPS and  Collectibles 
instead of Board Games.

Special projects was never meant to be just miniatures or anything in  
particular. When originally planned with Eric in 2007, Special Projects  was 
going to be a group that ran large and special events in all  departments. Our 
job is to fill gaps and run events that you can't do at  home, things that 
will be associated with the convention. We will be  running events in all 
genre of games, and we will be getting back into  boardgames and RPGs this 
convention. We were doing both before we were  needed to help out in the 
Miniatures area, and now that Miniatures is back  on it's feet and growing, we are 
going forward with our original plans.  During 2011 we will probably be 
running LARPS and Collectibles as  well.

Ok, I will bite, why are you running Board Games?

We aren't scheduling demos, we are scheduling tournaments and  events.

We are finalizing our schedule now and should have it up soon. We  will be 
running some RPGs, Boardgames, maybe a LARP, as well as  miniatures this 
time around.

I see we already have some events up -- this is good. We  need more.  
We're going to possibly have local competition  this time and we need  
to hit the ground  running.
