Dear all,

just posting here to start the ball rolling reference your thoughts/ideas/intentions for Indiecon 09. We are looking at having a professionally put together Conbook, possibly of supplement quality with potential resale value especially for those not attending. This is to become a regular fixture and hopefully become an annual release.

Who is looking at coming?

Ideas welcome.

Chris

I'll be there

Thanks Chris.

I'll be there as I've arranged with Rich for a lodge, so Rich should be getting that organised at some point. I'm hoping to push something your way for the con book and I'll have a good think about it -- probably to do with the Fantasy 3:16.

Oh, could you change your username to your name too? We're trying to move away from handles. And, yes, we do know that you are you, but it's one rule for all. :-)

Much as I would love to

Much as I would love to attend (last year was better than Conception IMO) I still don't know what my ship will be doing at that time of year. Hopefully I'll be able to crash in one of the Pompey Crew's lodges if I manage to get my schedule clear in time.

As to ideas, more of the same I reckon. The formula seemed to work very well and I've not met anybody who didn't have a really good time.

Specifically for the Collective Endeavour - make sure there are people available to run your games, if not enough of you guys can make it down then I would suggest actively trying to recruit people to do it for you. After all you do ask what games people can demo when they join the site.
And I don't just mean 15 minute demo's, although these are cool (I bought Contenders straight after one at last years Conpulsion) I really think a full 4 hour slot is what you need to really show how to play some of your games - after all some people are likely to be attending this con to try out indie games - perhaps for the first time.

I'll be there too! I suspect

I'll be there too! I suspect we'll do much the same as we did last year, which was try to run a session of something (not necessarily our games) in every slot.

Me too

I should be there, barring catastrophe, with a very large stack of games to run and several cases of Red Bull.

Thanks

Good to hear you guys are coming. The Conbook is going to be typeset by Tim Bancroft from Sceaptune Games and we look forward to getting your submissions by end of August latest.

Thanks in advance

Chris
