Pizza My Heart has graciously agreed to bring several pizzas to Unpub Protospiel Saturday Night.
I love Pizza My Heart and each lunch there 3+ times a week. If you haven't tried their pizza and awesome salads, you are missing out.
A hearty thanks to Pizza My Heart for their support.

As you may know from the last post, the total budget per day for snacks/food is about $100.
Saturday night, Ted and Toni Alspach of Bezier Games are sponsoring dinner.
We are going to have something that comes in a similar shape to a Bezier curve, pizza.
One of the volunteers and myself will make a Costco Pizza run powered by advanced math, french words and the treasury of Bezier's secret fortress . . .
Please thank Ted and Toni in person for their support of Unpub Protospiel and your stomach. You can even show that you really care by pronouncing Bezier correctly.

Greetings,
If you have looked over the Q and A you know that Unpub Protospiel is on a tight budget. The game designers pay $40 each for a badge, $20 goes to Game Kastle to rent their space and $20 is left to cover everything else. For example, $200 went to pay shipping for raffle prizes, $50 for badge materials, and $150 for the game design contest kits ($100 was covered by Franklin Kenter).
That leaves a budget of about $100 a day for snacks/food. Our deal with Game Kastle is that all snacks will be purchased through them (that is only fair) but game companies are allowed to sponsor outside food.
Seth Jaffee of Tasty Minstrel Games has agreed to provide Lunch on Saturday. We will be having Tasty Minstrel Sandwiches by raiding a nearby Castle (Costco across the street).
Enjoy such wonderful items as:
Lambas bread.
Smoked Minstrel Meat.
The finest goat cheddar in all the land.
A small selection of greenery. Because even Dragons need to stay regular.
A deeply grateful thank you to Tasty Minstrel Games for their support. Please Thank Seth when you see him at the event. Just don't shake his hand if you still have mustard on yours.
Victory Point Games (http://www.victorypointgames.com) will be attending Unpub Protospiel and sent the following introduction:
Victory Point Games is an independent board game studio and publisher based in Costa Mesa, CA; we’ve been making games since 2007 and we manufacture our components in-house via a custom print-on-demand system we’ve created over the years. Our focus is on design, ensuring that every game that we choose to develop receives the care and attention it needs; we only release a game once we feel it’s ready and we work extensively with the designer to make sure as much of their original vision is maintained as we get ready for publication.
Representing Victory Point Games at Unpub Protospiel San Jose will be Josh Neiman, Head of Board Game Development, and Barry Pike III, Head of Visual Development; both have extensive job duties on the business side of running Victory Point Games, but they’re also the core team that looks over submissions to determine which games are to be developed and eventually published.
Josh Neiman oversees the development and production at Victory Point Games, assigning projects, keeping an eye on progress, and creating the release schedule. With a background in theatre and film production, project management, and market research, Josh combines those skillsets with 25+ years of gaming to make each Victory Point Games title a great game that will appeal to a broad range of gamers.
Barry Pike III brings a similarly diverse background to Victory Point Games; as a graphic designer he helps oversee the layout and visuals of our games, but he also uses his background in logistics and project management to guide the company towards more efficient processes and techniques. His experience with gaming covers almost three decades and hundreds of titles, making him an invaluable member of our review team.
