Prepping for BGG.CON 2011?

Prepping for BGG.CON 2011?
From gallery of W Eric Martin
If you want to find out what publishers and some of your fellow gamers will have on the tables at BGG.CON 2011 – which starts Wdnesday, Nov. 16 – head to this Geeklist from yours truly, helpfully titled "BGG.CON 2011: Vendor Offerings, Proto Alley & Gaming Get-Togethers".

I've contacted all of the vendors that will be on hand and included information from those who have responded as to which games they'll have for demo and sale and which advance prototypes they might have on hand. I'm still waiting to hear from a few publishers and will add listings for them once I get a response.

I'll be on hand at BGG.CON for the first time – I know, I know – and look forward to meeting folks there. If you have something newsy to share or want to write a designer diary or otherwise need to bend my ear, I'll be happy to aim it in your direction!
