Greetings All!
As always, I apologize for interrupting your normal discussions.
In the last week, Issaries, Inc. has been discussing the possibility
of
holding a Gloranthacon 2001 piggybacked with Dundracon, the oldest and
largest gaming convention in the San Francisco Bay Area. Although we
realize that holding Gloranthacon concurrent with a larger con is not
an
ideal situation, having it so close to our home base gives us many
advantages, including most of the original Chaosium Runequest campaign
members as special guests.
But, before we can make a commitment to Dundracon, and they to us, we
need to know whether or not it is worth our time and theirs to make
these
arrangements. What we need to know is how many people would attend
such a
convention solely because of the Gloranthan events that would be held.
So, how many of you _would_ attend Gloranthacon in such a venue? You
don't need to make a commitment now, just give us an idea of whether
or
not you would be willing to travel to the San Francisco area to attend
the convention, and whether or not you would be likely to take a room
at
the hotel. Once we know that enough people are interested, we can move
forward with our arrangements with the Dundracon committee. Dundracon
is
held over President's Day weekend (February) in San Ramon, California
(about 15 miles east of Oakland).
Please respond to:
gloranthacon_at_...
if you are interested. If you expect to attend Dundracon anyway, but
would register as a Gloranthacon attendee, please let me know this in
your response. And if you know people who would be interested, but are
not on one of the main lists (Glorantha Digest, Hero Wars lists,
Gloranthaboard, King of Dragon Pass list), please forward this
message
to
them.
Thank you all for your time,
Stephen Martin
