absent from dealer list at gen con

[bolen]

I saw several companies who are not on the dealer room list at Gen Con
Reaper Mini
Pandahead games
Games Workshop
and some others that I cant think of off the top of my head.

Does anyone know if this is the final list of retailers

I am pretty sure I heard (Maybe from Cthulhu's Librarian) that Pandahead will not be there as a dealer.

I'm not sure if the list is final.

I can hardly imagine that Reaper won't be there. Can anyone confirm this?

Nope, they will not be. Brett might be at the con for a day or two, but they are not going to have a booth.

According to the exhibitor's list, Reaper will be at booth 141 (it's a pretty big booth).

GW will not be there, they did not attend last year and it looks like they are doing the same this year.

I suspect some are sharing booths with other dealers. For example, Bastion will be with Studio 2 at booth #1937 (way back in the middle of nowhere).

GW will not be there, they boycotted last year and it looks like they are doing so again this year.

I am curious, why is Games Workshop boycotting?

Ah, maybe Boycott is too strong a word. Last year they said they were not going to be attending any conventions other than their own GW Game Days. Looks like that is continueing this year. Don't know the reason, but from talk on a few message boards last year, they didn't want to participate in conventions that did not focus specifically on their own products.

Ghostwind, is MEG having any kind of presence there this year?

Looks like GW is continuing to dig their own grave. I'm glad I decided to give my money to Privateer Press and play Warmachine instead.

GW in memphis tell me that they are aiming at a different audience then gen con. (dont ask, I have no Idea what that means)
