[Deptheads] Ted Alspach is a go for Gateway 2011

[Eric M. Aldrich]

Yes, I realize that, but we're stuck as a lot of promotional material has already gone out. We'll honor the terms -- we want him there. Also, I think the art is just about ready. We lined up a lot in advance of Gamex this year.

Ok, so Rich is not going to make it. I think we aim for next Gateway.

I've gotten some more numbers from Gamex and the bill. We lost quite a bit of cash on this one, a large part of it due to room cost overruns. We'll need to be far more careful this upcoming show.

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.
