[Deptheads] After Action Analysis

[Tim]

What went right:

Gateway this year was a special challenge; we had a number of special 
events; tried a few new things; rolled HMGS/PSW's con into ours and had 
a competing convention.  Despite those challenges I think we came 
through with flying colors.

This is the first con I have been at in a long time where so much more 
went right then wrong.  It actually 'felt' like one of the cons from 
back in the late eighties.  Everyone I talked to enjoyed themselves (I 
actually had people stop me and tell me what a great con this one was).  
Even the feedback forum had no major gripes in it.  This is all the more 
remarkable when you realize that Neil was running boardgames for the 
first time; Robyn wasn't at the con and Gayle wasn't running the ballroom. 

What went wrong:

Frankly, not a lot.  The biggest problem we had was in finding space for 
everyone and that worked itself out.

A few minor tweaks for next time:

Every HQ should have a master schedule of their games.  For departments 
not in a single room, you should be able to tell a player with exactly 
where the game is being played.

LARPS needs to have a visible HQ (maybe share with RPG?).

I will provide a day by day copy of my scheduling spreadsheet to Reg and 
I promise not to write it in Aramaic this time.


Everyone deserves the credit for this and you should be proud of your 
contributions.  A job well done.

Tim
