Did I see an Ogre Battlefields Pocket Box in one of those pics?

Hey, thank you for posting this reference.

It was gratifying to see FnordCon take proper Covid-19 precautions since by any metric you care to use, Elvis and Normal have left the building with no scheduled plans to return. Oh how I wish I could have been there, but the travel industry has chosen to ignore that fact.

I'm probably not the only one who asked, but shortly after I posted a request to sell the swag bags online the Secret Master's granted my wish. In fact my wife and I bought four of them with various extras. So let's see if lightning will strike twice.

I know you plan to post the "What's New" panel on YouTube at no charge and I thank you for that. But please consider an online attendance option, where for a fee those of us unable to attend in person could view all the panels, both as a recorded and hopefully live feed. This has become more common at cons in the last few years and should be a relatively simple task, which would provide additional revenue.

It's just a thought. Here's another one. Take my money yet again, please ;-)

We wanted to offer a livestream of the panels, but the hotel wifi wasn't strong enough and we didn't have the team to support such an event. I'll talk to Steve about scheduling an online event where we can go over upcoming projects and answers questions that may come up.

I'll jump to your second sentence first and say; "That was unexpected but would be awesome! Thanks.

As for your first sentence, wifi issues at a hotel? Surely not. ;-) LOL. There was a lot of chatter about that. It apparently even made uploading photos to FnordCon Unalive (Discord) difficult. But the good news, for lack of a better term, is that posting a recorded video of a panel is probably a better and easier option than live streaming. No need to babysit the stream or worry about dropouts and everyone including physical attendees get a second bite at the apple, should scheduling conflicts prevent them from watching live.

Regardless, I completely understand you can only do what makes some sort of ROI sense. More to the point, you don't have to do anything for those of use who can't attend in person, so everything you do in that regard is greatly appreciated! Yes, even when I gripe. ;-)
