[Deptheads] After Action Analysis

[Harmon Ward]

Excellent suggestion. I can have the Hobby Day guys build stands for them like the HMGS banner.

Now that we are going to be at the Sheraton for 2 years straight, now would be a good time to get big overhead banners for ALL the HQs and Reg Desk for better visibility....?

LARP does share HQ with RPG, we always have.

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.
