Tenatively, I'm saying submission deadline for entrants will be the

to not use these days, speak up now.
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?
If we're using this games to _demo_ Ichouse, that's one thing; but I don't
think that's what were about.
Certainly, if people are going to Origins, that'd be a fine place to get
together with some less-often-seen friends and try some of the IGDC
entrants, but I'm not clear on how having entries in a week earlier makes
that better.
I dunno; anyone else got $0.02 to throw in on this?
