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.

I dream of GenCon this year.

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....)

Just a quick note to add to the post above for Megacon.
