What's happening with the stall itself? Are you looking for buy-ins? I might like to put Play Unsafe on there.

I imagine there's a few games to playtest at Conception: I'd like to playtest A Need To Kill; Iain will have Stitch, I imagine; Andrew will have Six Bullets; Rich will have his extensive range of Umlaut supplements ("Umlaut Rockbook: Glam!").

How would you feel about informally designating one slot, each day, as a playtest slot? Perhaps the evening. We could decide that there'll generally be a playtest going on each evening: there's no obligation to keep the evening free, but we'd make an effort to ensure everything got playtested.

Guys, we need to get a schedule together for Conception.

As far as I know, the following people are coming and going to run games under the CE banner:

Me
Iain
Andrew
Graham

Andrew, do we have a dedicated table like we did last year?

I know someone suggested that we have at least one CE or Indie game running in every slot. I personally think that this is very achievable with only a little planning. It's a good idea to get the schedule of game up as early as we can.

The slots are as follows:

Weds: Afternoon, Evening

Thurs: Morning, Afternoon, Evening

So back in February I flew the Collective Endeavour banner to Conception in Christchurch and had a good time. There was much post-con analysis here, which was very enlightening.

Now the time has rolled round again to start thinking about Conception in 2008. Because we made quite a splash with our games last year, we've been offered a stall with attached demo table (up on the raised bit, for those who know the site) and I've provisionally accepted it.

OK, some time ago on the back of Dragonmeet we said we would be looking towards GamesExpo and then, and only then, would we see how we all felt about where this thing was going in terms of membership, booth presence, etc. See this forum topic.

I appreciate that this was frustrating for people who have come here and asked about membership only to be told "not yet, wait and see".

Especially as these good people were contributing to the forums, participating and organizing events for users of the forums, and working on games or helping others with their games based around here.
