Scheduled Gaming Update
This is to anyone interested in the happenings of the Scheduled Gaming at Norwescon 35. So far this year we have scheduled a variety of games including:
Cthulhu Tech RPG, Poo The Card Game, Nuts!, The Impossible Machine, Hecho, Cambria, Hibernia, Globalization, The Target, Betrayal at the House on the Hill, Cutthroat Caverns, Cleopatra, 7 Wonders, Dominion, Mansions of Madness, Elder Sign, Dominant Species, Kingsburg, Stoneage, Battlelore, and Memoir ’44.
As you can see we are starting to see some action lined up for the spring. I’ve set up a registration form on the Norwescon Website for game registration, if you are interested in running games sign up through that portal. — If you know anyone who runs miniature war games, I was told people were disappointed to not see many over the last few years.
If you are interested in being on Gaming staff for this year let me know. I will be investigating expanding offerings and spaces are changing, more on that later.
Thanks,
Alan Bond

Norwescon 35 Spotlight Publisher: DAW Books
Norwescon is pleased to announce DAW Books as our Spotlight Publisher for Norwescon 35!
Founded in 1971 by veteran paperback editor Donald A. Wollheim, along with his wife, Elsie B. Wollheim, DAW Books was the first publishing company ever devoted exclusively to science fiction and fantasy. Now more than 30 years and more than a thousand titles later, DAW has a well-deserved reputation for discovering and publishing the hottest talents in the industry. Many stars of the science fiction and fantasy field made their debuts in the pages of a DAW book, including Tad Williams, C. J. Cherryh, Mercedes Lackey, Melanie Rawn, C.S. Friedman, Jennifer Roberson, and Tanith Lee. Despite its high profile, DAW is still a small private company, owned exclusively by its publishers, Elizabeth R. Wollheim and Sheila E. Gilbert. Betsy and Sheila are strongly committed to discovering and nurturing new talent, and to keeping a personal “family” spirit at DAW — something they feel is all too rare in today’s world of international conglomerate publishing.
DAW Books will be represented by Sheila Gilbert and Betsy Wollheim.
