G'day Tom,
> My Mom, in one of her incarnations, taught kindegarten.
My Mum taught 4-8 year olds for 45 years, which means that I know that
the above is a mis-statement. Kindy teachers are way scarier than a
measly walker!!!!;)
> And for the record, that Jon has some cheek to suggest
Well then he may be quaking in his boots to find out I'll be there twice this
year and have the intention of tracking him down finally;)
Which reminds me are there any cons in the UK in mid September (couldn't find
any on the web, but thought I'd ask anyways)
Thanks
> G'day Tom,
Just to clarify this for those who weren't reading the discussion on PMT,
Derek mentioned "Beth's renovation plans"..... you can see where the confusion
arose..... <EVIL GRIN>
> Well then he may be quaking in his boots to find out I'll be there
You'd be more than welcome, Beth - what part of the country are you
coming to? :-)
> Which reminds me are there any cons in the UK in mid September
Yes, and a fairly big one - Colours in Newbury, on the 12/13th Sept!

> G'day,
Excellent timing, Beth! And if you're down in Plymouth at the end of your
meetings, then the trip up to Newbury for the show won't be that
far - it's even on the way back to Heathrow if you're flying home
from there..... Talk to me more about it nearer the time when you know your
definite
itinerary. :-)

> G'day,
So Jon,
Do you ever promote GZG at shows by running a demo game or participation
game? I've always seen you at Colours and Warfare - but never seen a
GZG game being played. I normally come with one of my kids and we do enjoy
joining some of the 'drop in' participation games, and this in turn often
leads to purchases. Is it a missed marketing oportunity?
Thoughts?

Only if Jon and/or his helpers can find any free time that they don't
already spend selling stuff to their existing customers as fast as they
can... :-/

half the time, GZG being there is one of, if not /the/, main reason we
came...
I'd love to take part in a demo/parti game, and have enjoyed games like
that at various cons, but I doubt Jon has time to do any. Even with the aid of
his wormhole, he can't be in 3 places at once. Maybe he needs to think about
commissioning games like that, getting people from places
like this list to run them -- if he decides that they're worth holding
and there aren't already some being run independently. How many GZG
games are played at the average /Bifrost/...? More historically-oriented
cons are another matter.

the risk of being Mr.Obvious, perhaps you could do what others do... Run a
demo game using one of Jon's rules sets and minis at the con while Jon
is there? While it is a lot of work to run games, it's also a lot of
fun, and I'm sure that Jon would appreciate the extra exposure (as he always
does <duck>) so that those orders can keep flowing in...
