Well, my friends,...the Dárdünah demo at Dragon's Lair today was a fantastic success. Not only were some really great potential business contacts made, but the game was received with great excitement by the general gaming public who had a chance to see it for the very first time.
There were several other games being demo-ed there, and there were several individuals running those other demos that were interested enough in the Dárdünah game to finish their own demos so that they could participate in the Introductory Adventure that I was running from 4:00 to 7:00! At the end it received a standing ovation! One couldn't ask for better praise than that.
One of the first things the owner of the store said afterward was, "PLEASE let me know when the books will be available for sale, because I wanna buy a bunch and put them on the shelves.." That's great news, and a high endorsement from one of the top game-retailers in town.
Hopefully all future public demos will go so well.
I was able to display the map, handout Welcome Booklets, and display the three color proofs of the very books you guys will be receiving soon. That and the game session itself were quite a hit with the crowds who kept coming through.
I just want to thank Eric and Oboe and Jennifer (especially for the yummy desserts and the water) and Joe Kentspeth for helping me set up and handle the public, especially Eric for dealing with questions while I was running the game... He was a real trooper and stayed all six hours from beginning to end.
Again guys,..great work and contributions as well.
