At least one of the Don’t Rest Your Head games was run by me, Dave M, with 4 players. Probably the Saturday one. Now I’m curious who ran on Thursday…

You guys did great!

Games on Demand was great this year! I made a point to at least stop by every day, and actually did the bulk of my gaming in there over the course of the con. It’s excellent for trying out things you haven’t played before, and meeting new folks and playing with people you wouldn’t have met otherwise.

The only downside was that the room did get a bit noisy sometimes – there’s so much awesome stuff happening in a relatively small space, all at once! There were a few points during some of our games that some of the more soft-spoken players were having a hard time being heard. Other than that minor point, though, thumbs up all around, and gigantic props to everyone that helped make it happen!

Games on demand meant constant fun things to do between the exhibit hall closing, and late night games at the hotel.
It meant new friends, many of which I’m still in touch with.
It meant finding brilliant new games, and getting to playtest exciting new ones that aren’t even out yet.
It meant good memories, good times, and the steadfast resolution to do so again next year.

Thanks for the memories guys!

It was an excellent show, marred only by the good news/bad news effect of running out of copies of so many awesome games too early on. GoD had a tremendous effect of promoting and exposing many great games and it was one we sadly underestimated this year in several cases- never again! Many thanks to all who made GoD work so well this year- Will Hindmarch, Scott Acker, Jason Morningstar, Steve Segedy, Carl Klutzke, Justin Bow, Tim Rodriguez and all the other great GMs and booth volunteers. Proof of concept achieved, now let’s kick Gencon in the pants and make it bigger and better next year! dw

This is a great source of information for the event. Thanks for sharing it with all of us!

I ran at least one game that’s not in the spreadsheet, too: a second Razed game on Saturday at 2pm for five players.

Great job, everyone!

Games on Demand @ Origins 2011 didn’t pick up nearly as many players, but we’ve been upgraded to a more central location for next year and given the “thumbs up” by the Executive Director of GAMA.

So we might catch up to your formidable benchmark, especially if we had such an excellent banner…
