2009 Palladium Open House – May 1, 2 & 3, 2009
February 2009 Progress report
Three days to game!
In addition to VIP Thursday (starts 4:00 PM for those of you attending), there is a full day of gaming Friday from 9:30 AM to Midnight. Saturday from 9:30 AM to Midnight, and Sunday 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM. All role-playing. All Palladium games. Many Game Mastered by Palladium staff, Palladium writers and artists, Megaversal Ambassadors and friends of Palladium Books. Most are outstanding Game Masters. Plus there are two game rooms at the hotel where you night owls can game.
More games run by Kevin Siembieda
A large number of people requested Kevin run more games so more people have the opportunity to game with him. He has agreed and will run 8-12 gaming events over the weekend (limited to 2 hour time slots), plus he will be hosting a panel talk or two, the live auction and costume competition. In between, he will be available to chat and sign autographs.
New! Live Auction hosted by Kevin Siembieda
Items include out of print books, gold editions, original artwork, including some Kevin Long and other art from Erick Wujcik’s personal collection, books signed by Erick, proofreader copies of books, and other unique and collectible items.
Improved! Costume Contest on Saturday
Come as your favorite character from any Palladium role-playing game. Several categories to win: Science Fiction, Horror, Fantasy, Modern, Best of Show.
Real Prizes! We have not decided what yet, but this year we want to present real prizes to make the competition more fun, exciting and worth your while. Also have your photo taken, be adored by thousands (including people who will see photos of you posted online), become immortalized and have a blast!
We want the costume competition to have more contestants, so it will be part of the scheduled events, gaming will stop, the Palladium store will close, and EVERYBODY can experience it.
Special! Erick Wujcik Tribute
We plan to have a blank book in which we want those of you who attend to write your warm memories and thoughts about Erick, or draw a little picture of a mutant animal or ninja, or share a funny story about him, or a gaming experience, etc., and then we will send that book to Erick’s love of his life, Kathryn Kozora, as a truly special keepsake.
We also plan other things to celebrate Erick Wujcik’s life and work.
Surprises
We may have a special guest appearance or two. And we may have one or two special announcements, as well as product updates and info. And those in attendance will be the first to know.
