The Ashcan Front at Gen Con 2008 - the full-text abduction of paul czege

The Ashcan Front at Gen Con 2008 -- 04/07/2008

Matt Snyder and I are organizing an Ashcan Front booth for Gen Con again this year. The main changes are:

Gen Con raised its booth prices by quite a bit, and so we had to raise the buy-in cost by a little as well.
And we're partnering with The Playcollective on a two-booth endcap. It'll be a clearly divided space, with separate shelving and everything. But the Playcollective shares our enthusiasm for ashcans, and so we'll have some of theirs on our shelves and Matt and I will have My Life with Master and Nine Worlds in with their other games. (We're excited about this partnership, because it means Matt and I can represent for our core titles without diluting a stand-alone Ashcan Front presence with them, and because it means Ashcan Front participants will be right in with the community of designers, working together, making connections, feeding each other's enthusiasm, and talking about design.)

A 2008 FAQ has been posted at http://www.ashcanfront.net/2008faq.html. Give it a look.

What I'm Hearing

"major RPG companies, absent indie competition, would become media factories like today's leading comic book publishers"

Allen Varney

What I'm Saying

"Gamers have long been, and remain, I think, pretty willing to open their wallets for evocative text. But I think indie games have had an effect on that and it's changing, and that increasingly folks are expecting interesting mechanical and authorial experiences from roleplaying. (Have you seen an online conversation about suspension of disbelief in the past year? Me neither. Roleplaying is increasingly less about losing yourself to someone else's authorial mojo.)"
