As some of you may know, I did a little survey using SurveyMonkey after the Stammtisch on December 4th. Here are the results:

• 18 people did the survey. My guesstimate is this is about 30-40% of attendees. Given that not all attendees RSVPed on Anyvite, and thus did not get the survey email, I think that’s a pretty good turnout.
• 8 people said the Stammtisch was great, 6 people said it was nice, and 3 said it was OK. (1 person didn’t attend.) So that’s pretty positive.
• The number one complaint was smokiness. I agree, but short- to medium-term I’d like to stick with WerkzeugH. More on this later.
• 13 people would attend a Stammtisch every 2 months of more often. I am going to go with 2 months as I believe that’s the right frequency between “Omigod those guys again” and “IGD What?”. We’ll see how that goes.
• 7 out of 18 people would like to do more than just a Stammtisch. The most common suggestions were presentations on game design, technology as well as post-mortems and company overviews. I am also interested in these but I want to decouple them from the regular Stammtisch, as presentation nights are trickier to organize. Also, more on this later.
• A lot of people said thanks for organizing the Stammtisch. You’re welcome!
