As anyone here who has planned a party or a tournament can probably attest to, there is alot of stress and anxiety involved with getting everything done. You want to make sure yor guests enjoy themselves as well as make yourself look good. Inveitably you end up forgetting something (come on you are human things happen) but you get so worked up about it that you think everything is ruined because of it.
Now lets take that same level of stress and anxiety and multiply it by 100 and that is will describe me right now trying to plan everything out for TempleCon and TotalCon, two gaming conventions here in the north east that NESA has been asked to run Heroscape at.
Maybe it's just me and my wanting to do "too much" but I really want this to come off the way I think companies should present their games. I don't want it to look like it is being run by a bunch of goofball fans. I want this to be a mini-GenCon experience for those who can't make the annual pilgimage to Indy but to also wet their whistle enough that they do decide that this was so great that they HAVE TO go to GenCon next year.
I really am trying to keep myself in reality here as I know if I don't it will cost me a few hundred if not thousand dollars to get it perfect. In the end I imagine that as long as everyone has fun then we have achieved our goal.
So what exactly is going into all of this planning? Alot and I hope to document it all here in a journal form so you can take this trip along with me and my crew.
Today begins the test runs on how exactly we are going to apply our sponsors logos to our playing tables. We want to make sure that those who contribute prize support are properly recognized and displayed so all of the attendees know where to get their Heroscape and Gaming accessories. Naturally Heroscapers.com will get plenty of advertising too because without them we never would have gotten to where we are now.
Any ideas...feedback...etc is appreciated.
