OK, so Conpulsion is on 22/23 March (i.e. 9 weeks away) and we need two things...

(i) ...someone needs to organise the Indie Games Track, we already have the wonderful Pooka from Nerdinburgh stoked and eager to help. We're looking at all Indie games for this and lots of international mutualism. Spread the love and run and play your favourite indie games. You may alos want to share the love for the excellent UK games of the Collective Endeavour publishers. You may also want to offer small-group playtest. We have a banner, we just need someone to organize and people to help out!

So, WarpCon is this coming weekend and here is the plan for the Indie Games Track

Friday, 6 pm: Best Friends (Gregor Hutton)
Saturday, 10 am: free play, demos or games on demand (Gregor and Matt)
Saturday, 2 pm: Covenant (Matt Machell)
Saturday, 5:30 pm: Lacuna (Adam Kelly)
Sunday, 10 am: free play, demos or games on demand (Gregor and Matt)
Sunday, 2 pm: The Shab al-Hiri Roach (Adam Kelly)

So, Conpulsion i sn ow over for another year. Looking at it, it seems that this time around, the con was less well attended. However, the atmosphere and level of participation was excellent. There were lots of games running and more importnatly, lots of people playing.

The Indie Games Track was a success, yet again. I'll leave those who ran individuals games to comment on how they went. For myself, the only game I ran was a 1 hour demo of Dust Devils Revenged. Actually my first time running this edition of the game. It seemed to be very well received and we had a good little story created between the four characters.

Just to let you all know, the Indie Games Track information is now posted on the Conpulsion website. You can check it out here.

Cheers

I'm planning to run a game or two as part of the Indie Games Track. Give me a shout if you'd like me to run your game for an hour.

I'd prefer to run a game that you're pushing to sell on the stall: so, for example, if Joe was doing a big push on selling Contenders, I'd rather run Contenders than Swansong. That way, all the marketing works the same way: you'll be selling it on the stall and there'll be a bit of name recognition from the game I'm running.

Also, I'd rather not spend too much money on the game. If there's a demo version you could expand, that would be great, or I'd happily buy a PDF version.
