Message: <blockquote data-quote="Old One" data-source="post: 1605827" data-attributes="member: 83">Thoughts on above posts...Greetings Gang,Here are my thoughts on the above issues/questions/ideas:(1) Xath - If you can get enough sponsers to (a) Cover the additional $425 cost of the Grand Ballroom and (b) Cover the security costs for the event, then I say go for it...using the GB for the event will mean that everone has plenty of space for non-RPGs (Axis and Allies, CCGs, etc).  Let's try to lock this up as quickly as possible.  Please coordinate with DRM to get a quote on security costs/availability for our 9/25 date.  Also, have you talked $s with the potential vendors?  $150 per booth would take care of the Grand Ballroom deficit, then we just need to cover security...(2) DRM (Kevin) - I have assumed that the TGC folks will be using 4 tables and the EN Worlders will be using 11.  As far as adding additional games (CCG, Axis & Allies, etc), would these go against the 4 tables spoken for or would be need to use the "unofficial" overflow spaces (lounge, gallery) for these additional games?  If we can swing the Grand Ballroom, this is a moot point, since there will be plenty of room for all.I would actually suggest mixing the two groups up a bit...maybe the TGC uses two tables in each room we currently have reserved...instead of segregating by group.  I am very thankful to the TGC assistance in getting this set up and "sponsoring" TerpCon...I don't think we would be able to do it otherwise.  Again, the Grand Ballroom fixes this problem.  One suggestion might be that if the TGC is really interested in expanding this to offer lots of different gaming types, maybe they can kick in some $s to help secure the larger space.  Between what we have committed to date ($200) plus what Xath can work out with the vendors.(3) MX and Rodrigo - As currently set-up, we have 2 rooms reserved (this fits in our current budget, barely).  They are on two different floors, but close enough to easily move between the room.  In addition, there is plenty of comfortable space for pick-up games, over-flow, socializing, etc.  DRM was kind enough to give me a tour earlier this week.The NC Game Day IV took place in a mixed game environment and I don't think it reduced the fun everyone had, so I would prefer not to segregate, if at all possible.That said, either the Grand Ballroom or one of the spaces under construction (estimated July finish time) which is adjacent to the larger of the 2 rooms (the Prince George's room) would be a much better bet.  I would like to push for the Grand Ballroom, if we can make the finances work.Along those lines, anyone willing to kick in $5, $10, or $50 <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> to help us secure the larger space...please let me know.  I am in for $100 and we have one other donor who is putting in $100.  If you can help, either e-mail me (to remain anon. or post it here.Thanks!~ Old One</blockquote>
