I brought a prototype which was playtested at Protospiel, so I guess that makes me a game designer, or a game inventor, or something. I had a great time and...

... I've heard that the terms `game designer' and `game inventor' have specific meanings in the US games industry (particularly Hasbro), so the distinction may...
... If that's the case, then I still don't understand the distinction. Marcelo's definitions were basically that a Game Inventor is in it for the money, and a...

As a casual reader (lurker), I don't think I can stay out of this any longer without putting in my 2 cents. As far as I am concerned, a game "designer" and a...
I'd like to add a couple of things here. First off, Marcelo Figueroa is not an attorney. Don't accept/believe legal advice from people who are not attorneys....
I remember a while ago that Strategicon had an offer where if you hadn't been to one of their cons for many many years, you could sign up for a free 1-day...
Eddie, It was actually gone before the new owners took over. -Patrick ... From: Eddie H To: SoCal-GamesDay@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2007...
I'm hosting a MyPC Games Day in a couple months. Mark it on your calendar! Most likely, there will lots of people attending who attend the So-Cal Games Days,...
So Jacob (my 10yo) and I are going to OrcCon Saturday (only). I want to check it out, listen to Reiner, spend too much money.... What else does one do?...
... I find that I need to be pretty aggressive in lassoing people in for an open game. I'll often set up a game partially and walk up to people, asking if ...
Hi Dave, This is the first OrcCon/Strategicon where I think we have a really nice critical mass of SCGD players. I'm seriously looking forward to it! For me...
On kids... Last year there were a decent number of kids there. I played Betrayal and Bang and a bunch of other games that included 1-3 kids (usually their...
Just as a note, I won't be running the Open Gaming Library this Con. I believe Larry York may be handling the library, but I'm not positive of that. However,...
... Hi Dave, ... Hey, there's been a critical mass of us for years! :) Dave, you'll recognize lots of people. (Whether that's good or bad is up to you.) ;) ...
I would add one thing: an item that didn't get into the program booklet is that Reiner wants to get some folks into playtest sessions for a number of ...
Don't forget about Alphonso. He is always set up in front of the dealer room to demo Rio Grande games. He is very patient with kids and you might find a new...
Folks, Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who came out to the con, and especially to those people who volunteered for our community. We had some nice...
I had a great time at OrcCon last weekend, hanging out with you So Cal folks. The new owners seem to have done a great job - I hadn't been before, but this...
Honestly, I'll be sticking around locally to attend Gamex 2007 here. I certainly want to support the new Strategicon owners and I think they have some pretty...
Wow, this is a valid question for discussion... KublaCon? Gamex? or Neither for Memorial Day Weekend? Personally I am inclined to go to KublaCon because I've...
I don't want to dissuade anyone from either staying in SoCal for Gamex or coming up to Kublacon, but I did want to address Eric's comment about "the old board...
Thanks Patrick! Nice work with the Euros and GMs. It seems overall the array of available Euro games to play was better this year. I still pulled out my own,...
Gamex is the local SoCal con to go to for Memorial Day Weekend in May. Note that there will be a clash in town due to a Star Wars convention over the same...
