[Deptheads] Ted Alspach is a go for Gateway 2011

[Eric Burgess]

Rich never wrote back after two email. Shall we go for Orccon now?

Ted was promised the basics - flight, hotel, board. He's coming from the Bay Area so it's a cheap flight.

Stephanie's putting pressure on Kevin to get the materials.

>> Ted is well-known as a board game designer who also does unique maps of Age of Steam, has published cool versions of Werewolf (Ultimate Werewolf) and has done a lot of party and light euro games. He will be bringing a bunch of his Essen releases which should excite the rail game, party and euro game fans. We're working out his effect on our Werewolf schedule in particular - we'll probably want to extend it, which will be fun in particular light of the conversation we've had recently about family games.

>> Ted is also the author of a popular eurogame cartoon called "Board 2 Pieces" and he is willing to provide cover/t-shirt art for our convention booklet. He'll come up with a witty cartoon unique to Gateway 2011. Hopefully, that'll be a fun way to define this show. You can see more at his Board 2 Pieces website or the Bezier Games site (also his). Three Sages sells his games exclusively at the con, too.
