Thanks guys! It is just a way for me to organize my thoughts and I have always felt it is good for small press to share experiences. Bill

This is the adventures of HinterWelt Enterprises at GenCon 2007. We tried something different and went all cheap. Over all, an interesting experience. A Small Press At GenCon (125K PDF)

As Mike's friend, I will say he is great help in the booth if anyone ever wants to drag him to a show. ;) And besides, yeah, what he said. Bill Edit: More seriously, yes what you said but also the ability to get early adopters and GMs in on your game can make all the difference. For instance...

You aren't alone Matt...it just feels like it. ;) If it is not clear, I hold your same views. Bill

Agreed on the gauge the size issue. A tough call on that since you essentially must anticipate demand and attendance. I might suggest you do an invite only on vendors and give them the first year free. Make it clear that this is an experiment and if successful, next year you may start charging...

Well, I guess it comes down to what you think the shrinkage is due to. I assume you think it is related to the lack of conventions in the area so the question is, what worked in the past? I thought someone ran a Milwaukee con...an outfit that kind of took over after Gen Con left...I cannot...

HinterWelt would be interested assuming table fees were not out of line. That said, i think you should not limit the dealers. If a retailer wants to show up, then let them. What I think you really want to do is strengthen your customer base and that can be done by ads and promotion free for...

We will be giving these away at Gen Con this year.

Cover art by Chris Martinez. His Portfolio. This is the cover for the upcoming Squirrels Ahoy! Squirrels of the Spanish Main, a supplement for Squirrel Attack!

Mountains: Good you brought it up. The ones on the east coast are done one way (probably did not even notice them) and the others with a second method. I like the eastern mountains best and will most likely use them. Coastal Highlight: In this lo-rez version it does not show well. The hi-rez...

Continuing with the original post, Hibernia with a different coastal effect. The lettering is quite questionable and think I overused green just a tad. :) Bill

You know, you are just a bit too far north of me probably. I am in Frankfort and thinking of putting a group together. I have a nice big family room with a dedicated 12 foot conference table just for gaming. FYI - I am at Hwy 30 and Harlem, just south of I-80. Bill

A couple of sources. Two are reference maps from atlases, one is a book printed in 1944 called Roman Britainnia: Decline and Fall (an interesting read), some are made up (Intervallia, Vespaisiana, most of the Caledonian provinca not pictured here) but interpolated from existing names, Ordinance...

Based on some feedback.... Thanks, Bill

Hey guys, I am futzing with my Britannia map and would like some critique. Mostly looking at the shore line effect but which do you like better, the first or the second or neither? Thanks, Bill

An account of the Gameday actual play can be found here! With Pictures! Roma Imperious Actual Play Enjoy!

Well, I want to tank Buzz, first off, for organizing it all and for such a smooth implementation. Thanks to Curt for hosting Gameday also. Many thanks go to Mark, Jim, Ronald, Kent, Mike and Wendy for making the Roma adventure a whole lot of fun to run. I hope everyone had as much fun as me...

The final three pregens are up. Llew the dragon hunter, Vingo the Red a druid, and Viritrix a barbarian auxiliary in the Legions. Stop on by and check the adventure out. Thanks Buzz, and what makes them cooler is that they are generated on the fly in the CHARGen character generator...

Just to keep folks updated, I have three pregens done and three more in the works. Titus Julius Silanus, Optio of the Third Cohort of the Legio IV Vitrix (39 K PDF) Aulus Ancius Celer, Magus, (35 K PDF) Cammius, Medicus, (32 K PDF) As always, more info at The HinterWelt Game Day Page...

Thanks Buzz. Bill
