On that subject, I was looking at other Con websites the other day, and noticed that the wording of the GenCon OnTE Games gives much more the feeling of being for experienced players only. I hope that doesn't scare away people who were introduced to the game for the first time last year, and may not have had much chance to play since. - -- Paul J.

When I say smattering, I mean one or two boosters worth. It >seems like a lot of people just burned out after Cut-Ups... From the perspective of the Million Card Giveaway, maybe this means that a lot of the people who learned the game and walked off with a burger box are actually playing the game, or at least keeping it around as something to play now and then. (Anybody on this list start playing as a result of last year's promotion?) Heck, they may even have gone out and cleaned out the stock of some stores...or they may never have been able to locate the game in stores. It will be interesting at Gen Con this year to see how many people come over to buy On the Edge at our booth. (We're not planning a big give-away, but we should have a few cases at the current prices.) - -jn [O] You received this message because you are subscribed to the-edge [0] To (un)subscribe, send a message to majordomo@robin.ml.org with body of [O] (un)subscribe the-edge ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Jun 1998 10:57:16 -0500 (CDT) From: Eric Jome Subject: Re: [The Edge] building themed decks...
