    We do probably need to get a list of who's coming and how old they are, for stuff like that.  I think I really want to go to this Slaughtered Lamb.

    What kind of contest, and what kind of movies?

    Also, for the gaming.  If we have three, four people running games, how are we gonna do that?  Run them all at the same time?  I have no problem with this, it just means that any one person can be involved with only one game.  This is fine with me, although it also means that GMs won't get to play.

    I think I need to put together a impromtu registration page to keep a running tally of who is going, age, arrival/departure times etc.

    Will try and do that today so we can start registrations.

    Not doing that today. First we need details. Generating a proposal and will post soon.

    While I have run games for up to 32 people, I am comfortable running for 6-24.

    As for system, I can find one we can all use.. (g2 is easy.. but I will find something)..  The type of game is really the key. Waunderers with a bit of a crisis thrown in might work.

    Seminars?  You actually want seminars?  I can give you seminars...  I was hoping for a little round robin discussion more.. but we can do actual seminars.  (I spend more time at cons doing seminars than I do gaming at them these days).

    Can we just throw all these Strolencon threads into their own little menu that everyone can see now?

    A discussion starter: Once we get dates formalized I we can publish this all publically and start taking registrations or at least RSVPs. Want to at least have solid dates to publicize.

    StrolenCon '07

    June 22-24, 2007

    New York

    Motto:
    --Whats summoned in New York, stays in New York
    --Don't worry, we're supposed to be like this
    --Experts at the fine art of tomb and temple looting since *insert date*
    --What is it, where is it, and how many peices should it be in?
    --Anything worth doing is worth taking too far.
    --Bah on you and your silly reality.
    --Reality is for losers.
    --Reflex save, you are my only friend.
    --Putting our dice skills to USE for a change
    --Where everyone is the best damn leader there ever was!
    --Egos of the world, unite!
    --Thy flock hath come!
    --Where all is dice a 1337
    --Authentic Strolenites Only – the rest of you are npcs and extras
    --Strolenites of the World Unite
    --Harlem, 3am, just us, our dice, and--- "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?! was that a gunshot?!"

    (Once we have a theme we can come up with some graphics to request of Kate – or we just come up with a standard StrolenCon graphic that can remain consistent and let the theme quote/description stand on it's own)

    I imagined the workshop to be be in the spirit of the site, which matches your round table comment.

    Instead of the normal tips/hints, I was thinking the workshops we would have would be entirely creative in nature. Perhaps a few groups coming up or discussing different ideas to brainstorm and then post later. The sessions would be themed and have a couple people running them so we have a goal, but was thinking that we could create something useable. Could be the full group, or we brainstorm some ideas, break up into groups to work on these ideas, then come back together and share them for further discussion and refinement.

    OK, started a new forum at the very top. Will create a few threads and move at least the main post above over there.

    I think I got most everything up.

    Are you OK with the registration the way it is? I am not, but until I get a script running, I would rather there be someplace to do it.

    Please vote on that one so we get the ball rolling so they see there will actual people going to this thing. :)

    What is the official position of Nerf weapons at StrolenCon?

    One suggestion, though: put the Greetings Travellers forum on the top again, there is it's deserved place.
