[UA] Promoting UA at Conventions (was Release Schedule, alternative products)

[Patrick Joynt]

All goes well, I'll be running a UA shot at Kubla Con this year. It looks 
like I'm going to be running where the PCs - four fringe occultists in the 
Bay Area who know each other from College - all end up inbetween four 
cabalists who got messed up by the vodoun stuff mentioned earlier on this 
list and the three powers that be that are canon for the SF / Bay area.
This lets me hit lots of fairly "traditional" occult stuff - Vodoun, 
possession, madness in the face of the unknown from the four cabalists - and 
a lot of the edgy stuff from UA that doesn't push the borders too far - the 
Invisible Clergy, Anihilomancy, death magic, and in a slightly off canon 
take, the Old School Cliomancers of the Bay Area.
Hopefully, it will be a) approved so I can run it and b) far enough off the 
normal kilter of "huh, a terror/action RPG" that it'll get too 'em, without 
just freaking 'em out. IE, pornomancy isn't going to come up much, since the 
PCs don't have much knowledge of the OU and none of my NPCs will be into 
Pornomancy.
In any case, hopefully it will be a blast, and all will be converted, and no 
one will resist us any longer.  I can't think of a better way to promote UA 
then to run good games of it at Cons and at home and convince others to do 
the same.
