So, as some people here may know and most people probably don't, Exilian does an annual convention which this year is in Cambridge, eastern England, on the 22nd of this month.
As RTR is one of our biggest projects it would be nice to have something there - there'll be a stand of Exilian projects so there could at least be a poster about RTR on that or something? If anyone has any thoughts, do throw them at me. Also if anyone can come, please do of course! :)
-
Ah, I could have come and done something if I knew about this! Anyway, maybe next year then and we can get some RTR people there to promote the mod when it is an a more advanced stage :)
-
I might try to make it next year if I have the money. We should at least have a poster or something though. I'm trying to think if we have any English team members at the moment!
-
i`m english and a live fairly near cambridge :)
-
Well would you be interested in being a rep? You don't have to be, but I feel like it might be better to have a person there.
-
It would be great! But I haven`t money even for public transport. ;D
-
Would be great to see anyone who can get there certainly! Where are you from, johnswan? I'm originally from Norfolk so it's my part of the country. :)

My basic plan at the moment is that if someone can make me an RTR poster I can add it to the Exilian stand which will be a (probably unmanned) table where we'll have a set of general posters about different projects from across the site. Hopefully some future year RTR could have its own stand (we do charge per table/slot for stands, but it's like £5 or £6 for a non-commercial exhibit stand like RTR would want). If people have any more elaborate ideas or think they could put together a stand or do a talk this year that would of course be great, but obviously most of you guys are rather scattered across the globe so might be an idea for future years!
-
I`ll be glad if the Saka units or some info about ancient nomads will be in the posters. :)
And information about archaeologyst in RTR team also... IE about me ;D . If seriously... i think nead some brochure with short info about all RTR versions and about current!
-
I'm not so sure we will get anyone to show up, Jubal you may have to do the speaking for us :/
-
I don't mind if nobody shows up; I'd appreciate it if I didn't have to design the RTR poster/posters myself, though I can deal with printing etc.
-
There's a small chance I might be able to go there :)
-
It'd be great to see you if you can make it :)

Since nobody got back to me on this I just knocked up a quick A4 poster the night before, got to talk to one or two people about it but the con didn't really get enough attendees to start with sadly.

Can we see the poster?
-
Wow that response is not unlike my recent mural fiasco.
-
Bear in mind I literally had five minutes to put this together so it contains almost no information, just the logo and a very basic overview of what the project does!

Thanks for saka unit! :aragorn:
-
Very cool! Hopefully next year a couple of us could show up :)
-
I'm not thinking about next year yet, still exhausted from organising this one!
-
How did it go and where will it be next year? :)
-
Ohio.

It went alright but we really needed more people to turn out, not getting enough people is a bit of a killer for these events. The programme was very good nonetheless, and the various talks will all make their way up onto YouTube at various times. Everyone who came seemed to have a good time and I've been getting really positive comments about the quality of the talks/gaming/exhibitors/traders which is a plus.
It's very hard to say what we're doing about next year; this one was very, very close to the line for us financially (Exilian's income is based on a tiny donation stream at the moment which makes it hard for us to support bigger events) and I'm still feeling quite ill/burned out the best part of a week later. It's also made more difficult by not knowing where I'll be next year. We'll be having relevant discussions, working out where people are and whether we can fund another event effectively, in the next few weeks/couple of months.
Ohio.
If you want to organise an ExiliCon there, be my guest :P

Ah, I see, that's a shame, but not really a surprise, funding is always a problem. If the next one will be in Ohio I won't be able to come :D
