[Deptheads] Ted Alspach is a go for Gateway 2011

[Victor B]

Excellent guest!

Ted's art would be great -just make sure our artwork director Taralyn is in the 
loop for any conbook cover or t-shirt designs...she may already have designers 
and artwork lined up or in the works.
Besides the cover or t-shirts there is also room for inside cartoons, inside 
cover, back cover, 2-page foldout in the middle, etc. Just see what Taralyn has 
in the works.

We got ourselves a third Guest of Honor for Gateway 2011. As requested, I 
reached out to Ted Alspach and he's thrilled to come down. This is a nice one, 
too, because he usually goes to PacifiCon that weekend.

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.

We're sorting out his schedule now and I'll send more details when they become 
available.
