Boy, that is a cliff-hanger! I hope the information you got is good news and you are able to make some positive changes

Oy. What is GenCon trying to pull this time?

I suppose it might be good news, but I doubt it. Hopefully it will be relatively neutral, and Jeff's plans will only need to be adjusted...

I know GENCON is crunched for space, I hope they didn't take a big chunk of TD space away.

More info will be posted next week when I have it finalized.

As far as Gen Con goes...TD would not have come into existence if Gen Con had not blindly given several thousands of dollars to an unknown gamer nerd with a dream in 2003. Then in 2007, Peter was a huge help in upgrading our Treasure Tokens from the woodies to the beautiful tokens we have now.

We owe them a lot.

I know the Chip tokens are superior in almost every way, but I do miss the woodies

Jeff, without saying anything before your ready can you tell us if we should be at all worried or concerned? ie is the impending news positive/negative/nuteral from a TD perspective.

I really am hoping for the best- optimist that I am. Jeff, whatever happens you have our support because we know you do so much for our community. Thanks for the meet and greet panel at WYC.

Maybe Jeff's news is great. It's sad that everyone is assuming it's not.

I'm late to this party. My opinion, for what it's worth - GenCon has to make decisions for the good of the Con as a whole, and no one can fault them for that. For us GenCon is about fun, but at the end of the day GenCon is a business.

GenCon made an investment in TD, and we're all very glad they did. But it's paid off handsomely for them; they've recouped that investment, I'm sure, many times over.

But TD is a business, too, and needs to make decisions that are its best interest. And no one can fault TD for that, either.

I have no love nor animus for GenCon, but I do love TD. I would just hate to see TD being held back from reaching its potential.

It does sound from the tone of Jeff's post that this is more of a challenge than an opportunity. But GENCON probably has to make some hard decisions on things like space, as the attendance and dealer participating is probably increasing at a much faster rate than anyone predicted. I'm sure Jeff will have the support of the community regardless of what changes in his plans he has to make.

He's got me on the edge of my seat now......
