[Deptheads] HMGS at ORCCON

[Eric Burgess]

I love the idea of doing a live webcast and was part of those from BGG.con
and Essen recently. If we can get the internet access, we'd be happy to
stream (USStream is probably the best site) from the convention. We can get
various demos on the screen, chat about some of the new games and post
videos of the more eye-catching events.

Eric - what do you say?
