We’re in like a lion this month, but that’s what happens when you collaborate with an awesome bunch of contributors - you end up with an incredible issue chock full of some great sneak-peeks and useful news.    

And speaking of sneak peeks, later this month Yours Truly will be travelling to the GAMA Trade Show in scenic Reno, Nevada for four days of games, seminars, meetings, and – of course – MORE GAMES!

GAMA has always been a personal favorite of mine as it is a fantastic opportunity for retailers, manufacturers, distributors and folk in-between to chat in person, all among the backdrop of some pretty awesome games, products and projects from your favorite manufacturers. 

By the way, while we’re at the show (13 March – 16 March), be sure to check both Game Trade Magazine and Game Trade Media on Facebook for some exciting exclusive coverage.

Of course, it’s also worth mentioning I’ve always considered GAMA to be the beginning to convention season and before we know it, Origins Game Fair and Gen Con will be upon us. Have you made your plans yet? We’ll be at both shows so stop by and say “Hi!” if you’re there. We always enjoy meeting our readers and hearing your feedback.  

Last, and certainly not least – we’re looking for your letters for an all-new, upcoming addition to GTM, the Mailbag of Holding! Reach out to us at GTM@GameTradeMagazine.com and share what you like about GTM, your questions for our contributors (or about your favorite games), and let us know what you think we should be keeping an eye out for.  We’ll pick our favorite letters every month and do our best to respond!

Game on everyone,

-JG
