Sure, they can come to the Strategicon Booth and we'll hold the stuff there
where the raffle is held. Just let me know who gets what.

Paiva - you okay with giving out stuff to people? We could hand them a
ticket to come get something and give your team the goods. The only motivation
is getting them in there so if your staff already has too much to do, we
can distribute. It'll just be promo stuff we have left over (like Dominion
cards, 7 Wonders Catan boards, and the Antoine promo. I still have enough to
at least do it 'while supplies last' (and it cleans out a box in my game
library - yay!)

Yes, we should absolutely do two tables for Vlaada play testing. I'll be
happy to leave games I add unapproved - just never did that before.
I was saying we could give away prizes to everyone who qualifies (say,
plays two Vlaada games). I have a bunch of little prizes and if Paiva wants to
do it, we could have them distributed in the dealer room. We don't need to
give them all dealer bucks - it could get abused.

Okay...
There is room in the budget for a BIG prize for the winners of the
Vlaada-thon. If you want $2 for each participant, that could get expensive, but
also should be doable. Maybe set a minimum point value that requires most
people to play two games? I agree little prizes get people into the dealer
room and support the plan. I just want to make sure that people don't take
advantage of the system.
Please do not put games into the schedule without letting me approve them.
There are several reasons I want to approve all events in the ballroom,
not least of which is preventing conflicts and putting them on my personal
schedule spreadsheet. Since I assume Galaxy Trucker has been scheduled to
fit in Vlaada's schedule, I will not change it, but I would have liked to
know about this before I scheduled other tournaments. I will also leave it
as a MED tournament, since I am already adding the Vlaada-thon as a BIG.
Should we reserve a table for him in the VIP/DEMO/PLAYTEST area? The
DEMOs and PLAYTESTs are starting to take off and that area is going to be full
most of con. I am happy to give him the space, I just would like to know
ahead of time. I understand he doesn't know, but please relay this
information as soon as you get it so I can plan accordingly.

I apologize for this being so late. Although I lovelovelove my new job, it
is keeping me very busy alongside my game design work. But I've secured
timing and support for the Vlaada events now.
Vlaada Events for Gateway 2013
All Weekend
Vlaada-Thon - Players can play any Vlaada Chvatil game and get points for
playing and winning. The top ten players with the most points will get
prizes. I'll find prizes for the event, although it would be awesome to get
some dealer dollar support for the top prizes and maybe $2 prizes for all of
them (remember that low prizes help drive people into the dealer room!) We
will release a point value based on the length of time to play the games.
We'll also give points for games from his game company, Czech Games Edition.
We'll have printed forms at the Library (as well as Play to Win game forms)
and will run the whole thing with the library staff. I'm writing up
something more marketing-friendly for Kryssie's e-mail.
Friday
7pm - Q&A session with Vlaada Chvatil - I assume we can get the theater?
If not, please advise me ASAP so I can update the listing.
Saturday
9am - Through The Ages tournament - Already registered by someone else. We
can have Vlaada visit the tournament. He may have an alternative scenario.
7pm - Galaxy Trucker - Vlaada will be bringing special ships for the
final. Shane - can we get this for a Tournament? How about a Big one?
Sunday
12pm - Space Alert - Shane's friend already added it.
7pm - Dungeon Lords - Added by Erick Vallejos.
Vlaada may have playtest games we can run in the afternoons on Saturday
and Sunday but those will need to be walkup because he couldn't confirm he
will have them until he gets here.
Vlaada doesn't need a table in the dealer room, as noted before, but if
you want him to come by at some point to meet the dealers and sign games,
please let me know.
Let me know if there are questions.
