[QUOTE="bolen, post: 318864, member: 1442"] The best booths go to: - Twin Rose software - they sold me on CC. I really hope the comunity will surport this software. I think computer DM aids are the one thing that the D20 game badly needs. - Green Ronin and Bastion Press - the concept of two companies working together to put out a product (ie the Dwarves and Giants) is great. I cant wait until the elves and orc books are out. Also the Mutants and masterminds look great. - Oathbound was by far the best book I bought at the con - I wish Traveller had been there but I like the fact that they are working to get it right - Godlike was also a good both too bad they only had the original book I would have bought others from them. - Steve Jackson Games - all the folks there were very friendly. I enjoyed talking to D. Pulzner. - Reaper having the artists there creating mini's before your eyes was a great idea. Sandra G. was an interesting person The things I did not like - Some of the booths were maned by folks who had obviously stayed out too late and the people were cranky. I realize it is a con and folks are there to have fun but come on. If you are a dealer, you are there to sell stuff and behave in a professonal manor. Some of the other booths were maned by people whom I am sure are very talanted but have zero salesmanship skills. - If you have a product why do you charge full price for it. You are compeating with other companies. Make me want to buy your product over someone else's. What I would like - something to carry massive mini's (dragons and such) with out damaging it. The only thing I saw at Gen Con was the Battlechest. But I would have had to buy the $50 case and then $20 for the larger foam. The case came with foam for smaller mini's but the foam for large mini's is only sold seperately. All the salesman had to do was take out the foam which came with the case and replace it with the larger foam and he would have had a sale. - A D20 mass combat system. [/QUOTE]
