[QUOTE="The_Baldman, post: 6888542, member: 15080"] <dropping dimes dropping dimes> Okay only basketball fans and my 8 year old will get that one. Hey Gang, Dave here (The Baldman). Putting out some numbers to hopefully put out some misconceptions (if you still feel the same afterwards that is fine but I want it to be actual data). Gen Con 2015 - We had 4 premiere AL events for Season 3 (3-1, 3-2, 3-3, and 3-4) and 1 premiere AL Epic event (DDEP 3-1). So that is 5 premiere events. We re-ran the ending of Season 2 (7 events but some were 1 or 2-hour adventures). The DDXP program just ran the new Season 3 adventures (nothing new there). We also re-ran the Season 2 Epic. We had the Trading Post, AL Admins, and at times a couple guys from Wotc signing books. VERY noisy hall and little space to muster players to tables. In total 25 hours of premiere content and 29 hours of re-run content. Put together into different packages but that's it. Gen Con 2016 - We have the Season 5 preview (5-1), 6 AL re-runs (Core 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 - HILL 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3), 12 AL premieres (Core 2-1, 2-2, 2-3 - HULB 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-S - PHLAN 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-S, and HILL 1-S). We will have the Trading Post, AL Admins, and at times a couple guys from Wotc probably signing books. Hopefully a much quieter hall and space to muster players quickly to get to gaming and not standing around. In total 48 hours of premiere content and 29 hours of re-run content. Put together into different packages as always. So we are giving you more content then last year plus everything else you loved about last year minus the noise (and closer to food). My budget this year is actually higher then it was last year so we're not cutting corners just trying to give you the most bang for your buck. If you want big banners and shiny flashy things then rock on. Go find it. I myself am going to spend my budget on quality gaming content, taking care of my DM's, and providing a great play space for our games. [/QUOTE]
