Fwd: [Deptheads] Playtester's Corner/PW

Tue Aug 30 08:07:45 PDT 2011

Thanks, Eric.

Neil,

as far as I can see there aren't any events listed as Protospiel West 
events but the Seminar (ignore the one I entered for the moment). There 
are some "Prototype Play Testing" events with Ted Alspach. Are those one 
and the same? Since Blue Panther is advertising Protospiel West, 
shouldn't we be listing things that way? How many people do you expect 
for this?

Needless to say we need to get this done asap as the con book is ready 
for press...

Tim
