For many years now, Russ and Craig have had many wide-ranging conversations with folks from all over the gaming world.

This is one of those conversations.

D6G, the lost chapter.

Russ, can you give me a napkin?

I think I just spilled some of my mocha ice coffee.

The mocha doesn't come out of the pants, dude. Oh, I know. It's Colin from Lone Wolf. Colin, how are you, sir? I heard there was donuts here. There are donuts here. Now, what is your favorite donut? Duncan donuts. Yes, being from Scotland, is there a particular donut that is preferred? I don't think there are any traditionally Scottish donuts, but nevertheless, my favorite has always been the unadorned donut with jam inside.

The unadorned jam donut.

No, I prefer the unadorned donut with jam inside.

Yes, that is an awesome. That is the perfect awesome. That is the most eloquently named donut I have ever heard. It is indeed the unadorned. I want to see that on Dunkin' Donuts next advertisement. We now serve unadorned. Do you have a favorite jam? Strawberry. Strawberry, unadorned. The unadorned donut with strawberry jam inside. All right. Well, Craig will pick you one of those up.

And what works for us, what we like to see, what we don't like to see, what works for us, what doesn't work? And, you know, just chat for that for a little bit and see where you end up. How does that sound? Good? That sounds great. All right, great.

Okay, so good. So let's show us. I thought we start by talking about me just the general

types of demos that we've seen. And then we can get in some specific examples from this

year's 2013 GenCon.

Those of you who are listening who actually run demos or have companies that have
