How to Demo a Wargame - keep 'em coming back for more!

This was really cool to see! Thanks again for all the input.
Currently assembling and photoshopping my list sheets for my two demo forces. Sadly I'll have to ignore the advice about not using my good army for demos. Since I really only have the two. So! 150 point O-12 vs Yu Jing it is!
The input to take out all the abilities except Mimetism was good to know. One question prompted by the comment about not including the cutter, do you think it's best to steer clear of including anything REALLY scary for a demo list? The O-12 action pack has two big power armor guys in it. And it felt cool to include one, but I'm not sure if the Mim -6, 2 wound, 4 ARM, BS 14 HMG is a bit uhh... Much? For the context of a demo.

Of course I had a game night / demo for Aristeia right on the Premiere XD

I had an iffy experience with my Infinity demo back in 2019 in that it was at Gen Con and there was a nearby tournament for something where people got loud. So it was hard to hear. But my brother and I went to the demo with our already purchased Operation Red Veil and Cold Front. Still fun and we were sold but we left it with a lot of questions because it sounded like we got conflicting info from the demoer on our side on available actions and counter options

I really do appreciate this kind of content hydra. Thanks for helping boost the community beyond even your own personal one.

"two ears, two eyes, one mouth" speak for yourself, I can talk out my arse and smell time!
Great video as always, your passion for gaming has always come through when I saw you doing intros and demos without taking away from the onboarding. I've seen you build 5 communities from scratch for 3 different games (infin x3, mally and DZC) and they've always been well organised and attended.

So I've been percolating on this video for a bit, because as we've talked about, it's all about being ready with the ability to run demos. My pressing question is around the game I'm actively working to demo and bring folks into: Warmachine. It has a storied history, and recently that history is lol not good. So how does one approach getting people to play a game that actually has a somewhat to actually explicit poor reputation, because or the previous company's business practices? How do you deal with the distrust?

I would be really interested in which profiles you use for the demo games.
I feel like there is not a lot of identity left after removing most skills/equipment.
Maybe that deosn't really matter?
I'm not disagreeing with the removal anyway - just looking for inspiration since I have some demo games coming up.

The intro games we had were an amazing start to understanding a complex system as a complete newbie and still loving it almost 3 years later! Great video

This was such a good video, you get a like from my work email on top of my personal email!
