[BGB] A Modest Proposal

[Gregg Belevick]

Hi all,

I would like to formally present an idea Vic and I have been kicking around. 
Most of you know of my being a partner in Total Confusion were I ran board 
games. We have been through some staffing changes and reorganized, with 
myself now coordinating miniature events (gasp!).

One of the things we have tried this year is gaining exposure by having a 
distinct presence at other cons in the area. Signage, keeping our tables 
adjacent, unique cloths on our tables, etc. It seems to be having some 
impact.

What I propose is using Total for the same purpose for Havoc. A table or two 
in the minis room reserved for games that will be at the following Havoc, 
call it The Havoc Preview. It seems a win-win for Havoc. More people get to 
see the kind of games we host, and GM's get to playtest their games at 
Total, conveniently located only weeks before Havoc!

I am asking for volunteers to run games (thanks Vic!). I'm not necessarily 
thinking all weekend but at least the peak time, Friday evening through 
Sunday morning. Saturday at the least. Total tends to go heavier on Fantasy 
and Sci-Fi (I already have a Battletech Tourney lined up) but more than one 
person has mentioned the dearth of historical games.

I am also looking for ideas to promote Havoc during these games, something 
like the event Vic and Pete  put together at Sturbridge Village. Volunteers 
for some of the prep work would be appreciated too (I'm already flat-out 
here).

And please tell any non-BGBers you know who gm events.

Post ideas/comments here or call me if you want to talk details, 
508-853-1770.

Thanks.

Gregg
