[Deptheads] Dealer Room Update & a quick marketing note

[mike fryer]

I fully agree with Ryan. I understand Eric N.'s concern, but I think they
are unfounded in this instance. The game was not a full on LARP being played
throughout the Hotel. It was much more mellow. Eric A. played in it, and may
have a better description of it, but my impression was that it was walking
up to some with a Shotgun Diaries Badge and figure out what happens. "I am
Zombie, do you have a weapon? No, OK your a Zombie now." That type of
interaction. I have no problem with it happening again, and I hope John runs
it again.
