[Deptheads] 2020 Gateway

[Strategicon Department Heads]

Hey Shane,

I’m having someone messaging me excited that they think con is going to be green lit physically and that they spoke to you. What exactly are you telling them? For the record, If there’s a playtesting tourney being planned I would still like that event as it’s a playtest game. They are also telling me that you run all tournaments which I’m not sure is quite accurate. I’m hoping this is all miscommunication but I rather nip it in the bud now before rumors spread.

I was wondering if a decision has been made for those who are in a similar position and are not comfortable returning in September but would lose pre-paid badges and/or Dealer Dollars.  I responded that there is likely an executive decision needed to address this issue, since it likely not unique.

I also have too much exposure at my work to people since I am in a diagnostic lab (cancer not COVID) but none of us have been able to work from home.

(I might come for one day if it still happens, just to spend my dealer dollars....ugh my husband isn't going to be happy about that though...)

I do not have more details at this time, so I am simply asking for GM submissions for the Boardgames Department.  I will update you with more information as it comes in, or you can follow Strategicon Conventions on FB.
