Origins is June 25-29 this year. That doesn't give us a very big margin for error when it comes to finding out about the entrants, printing the rules, and familiarizing ourselves with the games so that we can playtest them at Origins. Any chance we can move the deadline back a week? Is anybody interested in playtesting at Origins? By the way, the Origins web site (http://www.originsgamefair.com/) has a picture of a Treehouse demo on the front page right now.
