[Deptheads] Games the Dealers should have on hand for Gateway 2012

[Victor B]

I  passed along a list last con to seth's reps, weekend warrior, gmi, and war house (the 3 that carry a variety of games) of our guest games, major tournies in all departments, hot board games, hot miniatures people will want to pick up, plus the hot rpg product.
I see or talk to these guys outside our con for other things or rob will ask me what he should bring extra of .  Lists like what Eric just gave are great help to vendors (and if they ignore the advise they can't complain to John they didn't bring enough of certain games).
Anyone have suggestions for miniatures (hot miniature games and figures we will have as events), rpg stuff (what are people buying alot of that would sell at our con as impulse buy or gotta have), war games (decision, victory point, and GMT attend so they would like to know what extra to bring) then send the suggestions to john. He can't too many suggestion lists. Info is good.
After gencon I will send John a list of the hottest gencon release I see and sample that will be available by gateway (many will be available in stores the week after our convention or later since we and other cons that weekend are 12 days after gencon). Cross fingers for good stuff already at distributors.
Monstore and others always have plenty of magic, magic singles, and other top ccg stuff on hand and they check the site for events running or contact me. I will pass on anything funky for john to pass on to them.
At gencon I will also try and grab some new stuff for the library and promo stuff for prizes to capitalize on the gencon momentum. I will keep John informed so he can pass it on to his vendors.
Btw....I notice no one sells current video games and I seldom if ever see houses of the blooded or other larp books or stuff there and we have good attendence for those. Jason would know if there are requests for electronic gaming stuff to be available for purchase.
 
Thanks for list Eric. It is all the hot and guests' board game stuff we feature in one spot without searching thru all the events to find them------ 2 thumbs up and a snap.

Great writeup Eric, thanks for the info. 

Any word on what hours you want to set up the autograph sessions? Also your choice....island table or wall table? Depends on if they have standing props or anything...your call.
