[Deptheads] HMGS at ORCCON

[Eric Burgess]

If we can get wireless or wired access, I can bring a webcam, set up a USStream account for the con and broadcast the demos/Bruno events. We'll set it up so that space so others can also bring over people to demo there. We can get Roger, Justin and maybe others over to demo/show stuff off. That way, I can kind of emcee it a bit (and I'll get others with the skills to help).

We can also upload videos from other parts of the con that was walk around and broadcast.

This could be really cool but we should make the decision to support it quickly so we can promote it.

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.

>> HMGS/PSW (Historical Miniature Gaming Society/ Pacific Southwest) is gearing up to once again support the return of miniature wargaming to the Strategicon events. At this time there are 14-15 events on the miniatures list put on by HMGS/PSW members! I want to thank Eric, Tim, and Robyn for helping to make our participation easy. We have been putting out the word round the clock about the return of great miniatures gaming (both historical and non-historical) to these cons. You can check out some of our write ups at our site, www.HMGS/PSW.org we also have you listed on our upcoming events calendar as well as prominent links to your Strategicon site. This is the info age and the young players use it! I watched closely the "Smackdown" event and one thing they have right is this use of the information stream. They have a slick site, facebook, twitter, and the coolest thing they had was live (almost) feed from the convention floor. This has the effect of not only making the event seem special but drawing people out of the house on the spur of the moment to cruise down and become part of the action. HMGS/PSW recently put up some                     how too videos on both our site and utube. They received more positive comments than anything we have ever written and took 1/100 the time!
