[QUOTE="Twin Rose, post: 1042718, member: 2765"] Absolutely, handling the money on such a thing sounds like a terribly difficult prospect. On the other hand, you also have small print publishers who share a "small space" at "Booth X" who might pick up slack if one vendor doesn't show. Especially if you do my "small table" idea (see above) in addition to publishers normal booth space. To be honest, I think the only way it would be worth it is if one company with a huge amount of funding was willing to "take the risk" that publishers would back it when he produced a layout and a complete plan. He would likely GET a bulk-rate discount (2 booths are cheaper I think than buying 2 seperately, for example)... Was willing to invite several companies at a good rate to make them say, "Oh yes, I definately wanna do that.." and they had a product of their own that they know would benefit from having a lot of support, demos, and gaming. Of course, with any luck and future GenCons, Campaign Suite will be big enough and have enough publisher products in it to make that a very viable option for TRS. Lots of benefits for everyone involved to make it work. Of course, we aren't quite at that stage yet, not without taking out loans! (Not exactly something I'd be willing to do at this point on something that is a huge risk). Who knows, maybe we'll see a shift in the priority point system so that publishers who decide to work together on displays DON'T lose their points if they later split up. [/QUOTE]
