[Deptheads] Artemis Game - we'd love to get this for the con

Thu Jan 10 06:20:02 PST 2013

Interesting.  This sounds like a high-tech version of Starship Valkyrie
which we've had at the last three cons.  It would be nice to get Artemis as
well.  I was thinking that Valkyrie should be cross-listed between
boardgames and LARPs for the same reason that Eric mentioned.
