Assuming I get to Origins this year, I will definitely check out the Plaid Hat Games booth in the exhibitors area. Some things I fully expect and look forward to seeing:

- Colby
- The newly released items: the Master Set, Goodwin's Blade, Hawk's Strike.
- All previously-released items, including JE and CL. (But not the 2 Starter Sets, which are out of stock, I believe. :()

But there are also several things I would like to see, but am not sure will be there. So, this is my wish/suggestion list of things I'd like to see:

- Promo cards! It would be great to pick up the ones I haven't gotten yet -- I usually like to purchase at the FLGSs, so I don't automatically get the promos.

- Buttons! If they sold round pin-on buttons, I'd probably buy one for each faction. I'm not sure which I'd like better: the faction symbol, or the head of the summoner with the faction name underneath.

- T-Shirts! Well, actually, I may not get a T-shirt, since we have plenty at home. But if it looked cool enough I might.

- Plaid Hats! If they have plaid hats I'll almost definitely get one, since I like wearing hats anyway (especially the flat golf/driving cap (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_cap) type, and the Gatsby/newsboy cap (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsboy_cap) is close to that). I'd probably wear it around at the convention. It would be automatic advertising, like the lab coats for Looney Labs.

- Demo-ers! It would be fun to play some pickup demo games there. If they'd like some help doing that, I would enjoy demoing if the timing was right.

I mentioned most this at the Summoner Wars Tournaments at Origins thread, but based on a small PM conversation with Colby and my experience at last year's booth I can confirm the following:

Colby/truth will be there
The master set will be available, and I can assume all previously available sets or at least the starter sets will be available.
I also assume the promo cards that are included in sets sold on the site will be there as they were last year.
Not sure about apparel for sale, but I am sure Colby will be wearing a Plaid Hat!
Colby himself or one of his designer demos games at his booth, but I am sure he would not mind help so he can take breaks every now and then.
Also, we will be running 2 tourneys and we might have pickup games available too that anyone can join with generic tickets. They will be in miniatures hall next to heroscape.
Colby is donating 2 Master Sets for each of the winners of the two tourneys!


More details on Summoner Wars tournament times and formats soon to come!
