kingandyJanuary has come and January has gone, and Maelstrom has failed to materialise. Allegedly the mailshot has/willsoonbe gone out, but that's just not good enough. We were promised January. I demand my money back!
It's something I've found myself saying a lot lately, but is no less true for it: if you give somebody something for free they get annoyed when you take it away. And even if you know it belongs to you - you were being generous letting them use it for a time - you feel bad about depriving them. Especially when they look up at you with their big, brown doe eyes and say "Oh please Andy, I won't be much longer, I just have to finish chatting to everyone then you can have your computer back..."
Really, it's like kicking a puppy. Which is why I found myself watching the X-Men movie last night. Sigh.

Re:
Date: 2004-02-02 11:31 am (UTC)90% of their audience on Pagga, do me a lemon, we're a minority in a minority. If they want to get the numbers they want they should have leaflets and posters in every RPG shop in the country and possibly even an ad in SFX. THATS how to advertise, Pagga is just a tool for people who already know about stuff and want to go to events, most people need a push to get off their arses and book. If it was as simple as you claim myself and Ed would be sitting on a beach in the south of france spending the profits of Pagga.con.
As for PDF's, wait until you see the rulebook, I'll be there waiting for the apology.
