So is there going to be missions at Origins and Gencon against this year? The origins and Gencon games and the scramble were some of the most fun i've ever had at a Con and were ran and populated by some great folks. I was wondering if things are on for Origins and Gencon this year as well.

Maybe its just me being selfish, but I'd love to see a booth at PAX and some missions here in Seattle. I mean...how fitting is that?

Ok stupid question for the day, when is the next Pax. Everytime I go to the site it directs me tot he site for Pax East. For my part I would love to go to wthe Pacific Northwest for Pax and run Shadowrun.

If you look in the top corner there is a link to PAX Seattle, but that still only gives you the old info. Early sales always have started end of february /beginning of march (I should know, I've been to every one of them), and the con has always been last week of august / first week of september running Fri-Sun. I'd be willing to bet if someone from Catalyst contacted them, they could get better info at an earlier time for PAX Seattle 2010.
To be completely honest, I was a little surprised to not see SR represented so far (6 yrs). |

I'd love to see some missions at Anime Central too.
With just one person judging last year we managed to get a few tables off, but I'd really like to have 2-3 demo team members running games. And while the Battletech demo team member in the area is already setting things up with me, I haven't heard from anybody SR related. |

I haven't been briefed on all the particulars, though I know that Chuck and Tara are already working on the summer Con schedule and have been at it for several weeks at least.
If you are interested in helping at a convention, or wish to express yor desire to see CGL's presence at a convention, I'd recommend sending Tara an E-MAIL. |

Everything I've heard from other "analog" game companies is that PAX is a great place to demo board/card games, but isn't a great atmosphere for demoing RPGs and longer games -- and that on-site sales are generally not great. This adds up to a show that could be beneficial for some of our games, but instead of being "someplace we can go to make some money or break even" becomes a "marketing expense" on the line item list. It could be awesome, but I don't think we're missing out on a "no-brainer" by not being there yet. Even though many of our staff are in Seattle, exhibiting at a show like PAX involves a lot more than having bodies in the area. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I know of at least two people running Missions at Gengis Con here in Denver and I'll be running a couple at Tacticon in September.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I have enough faith in y'all to make the assumption there was a cost/profit potential reason as to why they wouldn't be at PAX. I actually was more thinking that companies like Green Ronin, etc send people to speak at panels as a way of marketing and showing product and all knowing wisdom and was a little surprised not to see the same from Catalyst/SR/whatev. That being said, I once again would assume that if they are not already taking advantage of that, it must not be such a no-brainer. |

Forgot to say, its nice to get a reply from someone actually from the company on something like this. That is one of the things that makes DS such a great resource and SR a product line I fully support (with my pathetically meager buying power....)
