For Immediate Release

Zeitgeist Games, Inc. To Acquire WarHorn.net

Oviedo, Florida – May 11, 2007 – Zeitgeist Games, Inc. announced today
that it has agreed to acquire the popular convention registration site
Warhorn.net (www.warhorn. net). Warhorn.net is designed to allow users
to organize and promote RPG oriented games and conventions with ease.

clubs have used the service to promote and organize conventions and
gaming events.

and promote their conventions and local club gamedays" said Zeitgeist
Games President, Dustin Clingman. "Our plan for Warhorn is to maintain
the current level of service while at the same time working to improve
and expand the functionality and usability to allow even more users to
find and organize their gaming events."

Currently, Zeitgeist Games is discussing future expansions to the
service with longtime users of the Warhorn service. "We're looking to
craft the best possible experience and we know we'll need the help of
the folks who have used the service for years" said Clingman. "If
you've got good ideas on how to improve Warhorn.net, we want to hear
them!"

Well, I for one hope they gave the author big piles of money.

Withoug warhorn, I and my wife likely would have bailed on RPGA after the first convention. We both really hate the "point and shout" style of mustering that conventions who don't have a premustering tool tend to use.

Will the service also be free for the convention organizer? I hope so. Generally, nothing in life is free.

Features I want in a new warhorn
1) no banner ads
2) no registration fee
3) no convention registration/setup fee
4) no emails from non convention people who got my info from warhorn.
5) keeping my email/personal info private.

Here is a quote from Dustin Clingman in response to the question of there being any charges now:

Nope. We're keeping things the way they are.

It may be possible in the future that we'll provide optional premium
services, but the basic system is going to stay the same permanently.
