Yesterday I was in Paris for SteveCon Paris V and I ran Hot War. Unfortunately the game was cut short about 2/3rds of the way through by food poisoning and I spent the next 12 hours asleep, and not gaming. We still had a good time in the few hours we played but because I left in a hurry I don't have the character sheets or any player feedback.

I've pretty much stayed out of the IGT/GOD stuff until recently because, well, I'm not there this year and it's nice to see other people work together to get this kind of thing sorted. Sadly, things seem to have become a bit fractious: tempers, uncharitable reading and misinterpretation. My hope is that this thread will get things on track. I'm just going on my involvement with IGTs of previous years, plus my involvement in getting games running at cons (experiences that many of us here share).

I'd like to start from first principles:

What's the IGT for?

As Matt suggested at the tail end of this thread, having a discussion about actual booth strategy prior to thinking about new resources, would be a valuable thing.

So, after just over a year of attending cons, what is our booth strategy? By this, I mean "What does our booth do and how do we do it?".

Well I am just about recovered from Conception, which was ACE!!!!!!, and thought the first thing I should do was post up the sales breakdown.

So the total for the con was £337 over 3 and a half days.

Thursday : £156
Friday : £10
Saturday : £91
Sunday : £80
