[Deptheads] Twitter Question - Playtest Corner

Thu Feb 2 11:55:02 PST 2012

Orccon each year is our largest convention by far. We ran out of rooms already and turned down events and may still have to cancel scheduled events because of lack of rooms due to room conflicts.
All events that use the smaller rooms have to go thru the Event Coordinator- Tim. An empty room may be because an event there finished early or didn't run; but another event may be scheduled to run there soon.
Neil, Tim and Eric Burgess will make sure the playtest group has tables and space at Orccon. Probably not a private room this time but easily done for Gateway and Gamex. Get dibbs in now.
Having a playtest corner each convention is a great idea and I am for supporting and promoting local game designers and groups. "Strategicon- where great games are born".

What if we got them a room and clearly labeled it and put it on the maps or something?  RockBand has it's room.... is there another available in that same general area?  Just suggesting.  I can take a look around over the Orccon weekend, if someone with the power wants to come along and brainstorm with me. :D  Otherwise, I'll just look like my normal crazy self walking around and poking my head into doorways. :D ...only this time, I'll be making a list!

The consensus at the meeting was that we didn't gain anything by moving them.
