@Wilson Lin:
My philosophy on copy protection is that it punishes the people who actually pay for the product while at best slightly delaying the pirates. I’m not thrilled about piracy, but I’m much more concerned about obscurity.

Just got Maid from Gen-Con…. Really, you should buy it too.

I really one of my friends picked me up one. I doubt it though.

Are the pdf’s going to have copy protection?

Something like that. I’m going to be putting together a lengthy post about what’s gone on at the con–and even with me being an introvert and a fan of sleep there’s still a hell of a lot–but the game sold *really* well. I’ll have to double-check with Andy tomorrow morning, but last I checked we were down to only 4 copies, and those probably sold out by the time the exhibit hall closed. Still, a proper print run should be on the way in the next month or so, along with a PDF version for the truly impatient.

I’m betting the bastards who went to GEnCon are buying up all the copies of Maid RPG, leaving us who wanted to order it online without. MOnsters.

I have printed out a HG Razor Ramon table jockey, to help promote the Maid RPG. It is glorious.

I also have 50 copies of Maid sitting here. There was a hangup with the other printer, but they’re looking into their issues now. In any case at least 48 copies of the game will be there to sell, if nothing else.

I wouldn’t be too worried about the location. You’re right near WotC with the art-show hemmed off, so that’s a huge traffic area. I keep seeing lines all the time whenever I see their booth at a show. Long lines means wandering eyes and spill over.

I’m running two Maid RPG events, one Thursday at 4 p.m., the other Saturday at 3 p.m. I’m also participating in one of the Meikyuu Kingdom events, at noon on Friday. Otherwise I’m pretty much planning to be at the booth while the exhibit hall is open. There are a couple of other things in the evenings too, notably Video Games Live on Saturday.

Yeah, I saw the layout, we’re in the middle of bumble and fuck. Not that inspiring for casual walk-bys. Oh well.

I’ve got a Tenra game on Wednesday (shit that’s like two days) between 4 and 8. When are your events? IIRC, you had three…

Thanks!
