On the road to Origins Game Fair!

Greetings!


By the time this newsletter is emailed, we’ll be somewhere in southern Georgia en route to Origins Game Fair. Come see us this Thursday through Sunday at booth #151! If you’d like to make an appointment to spend some time with us for an interview or other discussion, come on by the booth and we’ll set something up. Presently, Thursday is looking like our busiest day of the show.


While we’re at the show, we’ll likely have limited access to email, social media, and other means of contact. While we will do our best to clear our emails and other messages nightly in the hotel, this may not be possible, and we appreciate your patience if we cannot get back to you until we return from the show.


A reminder to Minions – the IGA warehouse is closed until we return from the show. You may place orders in the store, but they won’t ship until we return. Members — if we’ve got stock to sell of your games, keep an eye on your emails; with our new store software, you’ll get an email in real time when one of your games finds a new home with an excited gamer!


Didn’t get your demos booked in time? Don’t wait — Dice Tower convention is in three short weeks, and Gen Con is coming up too! Book now on your Studio Dashboard before we sell out!
