1/2 Half a late medieval house was our booth at the Elf Fantasy Fair in Alphen a/d Rijn last weekend
100 At least a hundred live roleplayers (and Archeon staff members) were around to bring the historical setting of 'Het Archeon' to life
7500 The huge number of visitors attracted by this event. (On Saturday
afternoon the entrance had to be closed early: FULL!)
4 Four staff members a day manned our booth
44 44 players / collectors registered on our Dutch players / collectors list this weekend
256 The new total number of registered players / collectors on Dutch soil
11 Eleven new people were thoroughly introduced to the game by means of a complete introduction
80-150 Between 80 and 150 people stopped to attend our continuous demo's
30% An estimate of the percentage of visitors that passed us by simply because they couldn't fit into our overcrowed little house.
400+ The number of MeCCG/council flyers we had when the con started
0 The number we had left on Sunday afternoon.
(Anyone willing to print (A5) color flyers for (next to) nothing? [Thanks to Dave Rice and the University of Twente for doing so in the past])
4500 The number of commons we redistributed this weekend as part of our promotional efforts.
12 The number of people John Howe will handle in a one hour signing session (if he get's his way). This man really loves to draw! Really nice guy, by the way!
50 The number of kilometers of diesel-oil we stil expected to have when the engine stopped on our way over...a hearty thanks to the ANWB road service for getting us on our way again!
