Protospiel West - Game Playtesting Con within a Con

["bluepantherllc" <bluepantherllc@...>]

Hello:

Wanted to let the community know about an event that Blue Panther is co-sponsoring - we'll have plenty of piecepacks on hand for the event, including some as giveaways and some as a game design exercise - the new Blue Panther Sets 1,2,3, Elemantal and War & Piecepack.

Protospiel West will be at the Sheraton LAX Airport in Los Angeles on Labor Day weekend - Friday evening, Sat and Sun. So if anyone is in the area, drop by. Format is similar toProtospiel.

Protospiel West is a "con within a con", running concurrently with Gateway, a con of about 1500 people hosted by Strategicon every Labor Day weekend.

Companies that will be at Protospiel West include Blue Panther, Numbskull Games, Victory Point Games, Guerilla Games, possibly a visit from Fantasy Flight Games as well. Ted Alspach (GOH) will be giving a session on Publishing / Kickstarter on Sat at 2 PM. Eric Burgess of Boardgame Babylon podcast will be doing his show from the event as well. Blue Panther will be giving a session on
Print-On-Demand on Sunday at 2 PM
