• The Eleventh Hour

  It's been a bit from my last post. But I've got an excuse called event review and placement for over 4500 events . I know I might sound like a broken record, but it's insane that actual event placement is already done for almost all events...

• The event catalog previews

  So the event placement process continues. I'm still neck-deep in reviewing and placing events. Just about everything from cycle 1 is done, but I need to get through cycles 2 and 3 in about a week or so. Should be fun. The whole process has been very...

• The first batch of event locations are released months early!

  Every year people ask for event details to be released earlier and this year we have to keep a much tighter eye on space, so we tried to kill several birds with one stone by kinda of combining event review with event placement and just try to take care...

• What I remember from the blur of event review

  No event placement update this week yet - expect a huge dump next week, though. Big stuff, I hope. I've got my fingers crossed. This week, though, I figured I'd give a few quick examples of games that caught my attention during the review process...

• Short and sweet - prepping for event placement

  Let's try something shorter and simpler this time around. Maybe I can keep up with that a bit better. So I've spent pretty much the entire week wrestling around in Excel, making the new event grid for 2008 that we use to place all the events....

• Event submission has begun!

  Event submission began on February 3 rd and in almost 2 weeks we’ve already received more than 1300 events. It looks like our new cyclical event review and placement schedule has really worked at getting people to submit events earlier this year. I don...

• Star Wars Celebration IV casts a long shadow

  Well, Star Wars Celebration IV was something else. Something else indeed. I think it ate something like three weeks of my life, leaving me with just blurred memories of stormtroopers, long lines, and chocolate milk chug-offs to show for it. I have to...

• Impending Info Dump: Anime Boston, Event Catalogs & Wednesday Gaming

  The past three weeks have been rather remarkably busy. Get ready for some super-long ramblings. Anime Boston First, I went back to my homeland of New England for Anime Boston , the country’s best anime convention – and I’m not saying that just because...

• Death by Event Submission

  You know what's the worst thing about reviewing events? Well, aside from the never-ending stream of dates, times and descriptions (especially when I hit a batch that are all the same - and all wrong in the same way)... It's seeing some cool game, wanting... Posted Apr 13 2007, 05:40 PM by Derek Guder with | with 2 comment(s) Filed under: event submission

• The online Event Submission Form: Santa's gift to the good boys and girls at Gen Con

  Phew. It’s been quite a week –and it’s not quite over yet, I’m still at the office. It’s Friday and it’s so nice outside and I wanna go home . It has been quite a week indeed, though. Event submission ends today, so things have been hectic. I’ve been... Posted Apr 06 2007, 06:39 PM by Derek Guder with | with 8 comment(s) Filed under: event submission

• A dragon ate my brains

  I'm still recovering - I was at the office until 10:30 last night trying to stat up a CR 40 red dragon (with the dragon ascendant prestige class from the Draconomicon ). Man did it get complicated. I'm completely convinced I managed to screw it all up... Posted Mar 30 2007, 05:02 PM by Derek Guder with | with no comments Filed under: event submission

• Bloginating, Take 2: Whirlwind recap, death by Event Host Policy & event submission

  Alright. Let’s try this again. It’s been, like, forever since I made a blog post here. After my last one, planning got too busy for Indy to space much time for this – then after Indy it was time to jump right into the saddle for So Cal’s swan song. After...
