GZG Ontario Con - Request

Hi, Jon.

After the success of the East Cost game con run by Mark Kochte, Jon Davis, et
al, I'm determining the feasibility of running a GZG based con in Toronto in
late September.

Jon tells me that one of his first steps was to ask your permission to use the
Ground Zero Games name while promoting the convention. Like the other con, I'd
like to be able to use the GZG name as part of the name of the convention, but
with proper attribution given and with the proviso that the convention is NOT
sponsored by GZG and that GZG is in no way affiliated with, or responsible
for, the convention. Please let me know if this is acceptable, or if you have
any further provisos, concerns, or comments.

The convention will be run similarly to the previous convention: strictly
Ground Zero Games rules (including B5 rules in the EFSB) played in a mature
and fun atmosphere. The convention will be "not for
profit" (a Canadian legal entity that doesn't afford us the status--or
hassle--of a tax-free charity but gives us a break on taxes not given
to a profit producing business). The convention will run over the course of
one weekend.

Right now I'm just conducting a feasibility study. It's possible that it may
go no further than that (I'm particularly concerned about the availability of
function space). We have a core group of Toronto players on the list who are
(at the moment) eager to help. I'm hoping for a turn out of around two dozen,
but I don't think that thirty would be out of the question.

Allan - this is fine with me. Sadly I probably won't be able to make it
over, as September is a very busy time for UK shows, but I'll send you some
prize stuff (some was sent for the GZG-ECC, but didn't arrive in time
due to the combined efforts of the US and UK postal services...):(

Good luck (you may need it...);)

Thanks a lot, Jon. Sorry you can't make it, but you'll be there in spirit.
Thanks for the prizes! That will be great. I'll let you know how things are
progressing.

Allan spake thusly upon matters weighty:

I'm in Ottawa, and I agree with you that August in TO sucks weatherwise, so
September would be a good idea. If I can help organize from a distance, let me
know. I plan on running a follow on event to one from the original con in
Lancaster (With Your Permission Sir!). Anyway, let me know if and how I can
help.

Tom.
