Running a local convention?

Like most adventure game companies, we support local conventions with publicity and in other ways. Below is our "convention policy" and you're welcome to contact us if your local convention wants to take advantage of what we have to offer.


AMARILLO DESIGN BUREAU, INC., Post Office Box 8759, Amarillo TX 79114
STAR FLEET BATTLES -- STAR FLEET UNIVERSE
Phone 806-351-1950 -- Fax 806-351-2585 -- Email design@starfleetgames.com
CONVENTION POLICY DOCUMENT, REVISED 1 August 2005
This is the executive summary version. If you want the whole document, just ask.
If you want any of these services, just ask and we’ll walk you through it.
=============================================================
Our goal is to support conventions that have our games in play; failing that, to get info on our games in front of players.
= = = = = = = = = = = =
1. ADVERTISING, ANNOUNCEMENTS, PROMOTIONS
If your convention has events scheduled for our products, we will list it on our web sites and Ezines and provide you on request a list of our customers in your area. If you do not have events scheduled for our games, see 5B and you can always do Paragraph 2.
= = = = = = = = = = = =
2. DOOR PRIZE PACKAGE
We will provide box of our products ($200 MSRP, $100 if you had under 200 people last year) in exchange for a full-page ad in the program. A flyer will not do. We do not buy ads for cash. If your convention only takes cash I’m sure you will find plenty of companies to pay it; we find 20-25 cons a year that take merchandise for ads. We’ll both do just fine.

3. TOURNAMENT PRIZE PACKAGE
If you have an event featuring our games we will sell the judge $25 worth of gift certificates for $10.

4. RATED ACE RANKINGS
The most sought-after prize for SFB players is the card and enamel pin of a "Rated Ace". If you have an qualifying SFB event, we will recognize the winner as a rated ace and mail him the pin.

5. HUMAN HELP
Sadly, we do not go to conventions.
A. If you want an event and have a judge, our web site has instructions on how to run it.
B. If you want a judge and don’t have one, we will post a Judge Wanted notice on our web site; no promises.
C. If you want to have a demo, we will post a Ranger Wanted notice on our web site; no promises.
= = = = = = = = = = = =
6. REAL CONVENTIONS, OFFICIAL PRODUCTS ONLY
Support is provided for real conventions (dealer room, events, guests, seminars), not in-store game days.
We cannot provide any support to conventions which host events involving unauthorized SFU products.
