Hi GAC,

 

I have a table reserved for the weekend. Will/are these "businesses" be listed as well?

 

I realize those listed as exhibtors so far have paid more money, so deserve to be highlighted, but I'm just wondering if my reservation will be confirmed online, even if just my name is listed, or elsewhere.

 

Thanks for your time.

Rolenta Press will also be there. However since I am sharing a table with Good Deal Games, Good Deal Games is listed on the Exhibitor page, and not Rolenta Press.

I'd like to know how many homebrewers are planning to attend. Nathan and I have been discussing the possibility of a homebrew "junket" video interview session to use to freshen up the 10th anniversary Stella at 20 re-edit that Nathan is going to be doing. The most practical way to do this is at one of the major conventions when everybody is in one place. Please let us know here if you are attending.

I'm going to be attending. I haven't released any homebrews of my own, but hopefully it's just a matter of time! (I don't think that writing, or assisting with, the code for other people's homebrews counts as "my own" homebrews.)

I'm planning to be there with a table. Though I don't know if I'm considered a "homebrewer" as I haven't completed any games yet.

[Fighter17]

Just got a pre-order for OlderGames.com's Lost & Found Vol. 2 for the Saturn.

[joesmooth]

I'll be there. I'm actually going to be in Las Vegas for business for 10 days and CGE happens to fall right in the middle! So, I'll only be around for an hour or two on Saturday (since I'm teaching that day and can only get away for the lunch break), but hope to see some people I recognize there.
