Dinner With Industry Giants

OMG, those are some of the best rewards I've ever seen on KickStarter... Will Wright or Sid Meier? How could you choose? Sign up for booth? Chris Taylor would be awesome too... So tempted... There's a game to pitch to each of them too, SimAnt 2, turn based zombie survival/rebuilding the world, and a massive WWII RTS that the original SupCom engine was meant for... :)

So tempted...

Keep in mind you have to pay your own expenses. If you live in Flordia and they wanna have lunch in San Fransisco, be ready to pony up a lot more than $250.

Easy there, that was just me - but if I was there that's what I would tell him I wanted. ;)

I am excited about this kickstarter site, especially since they did Wasteland 2. How long has this site been around?

2008 according to Wikipedia... I've only contributed to projects starting last year though, all games so far, including Wasteland 2 though I never played the original and generally stay away from RPGs...

It is pretty cool and fairly affordable. They're not really the icons I would want to meet though. They made great games, but not the games I spent too much time playing. I'll take a lunch with Bobby Kotick...at a nice secluded dinner.

Yeah, If I lived on the West Coast I would totally pay $250 to have lunch with Peter Molyneux. Sadly I live in Virginia.
