flOw won't be at Slamdance after all.
Last week, Peter Baxton, President of Slamdance, decided to pull the game "Super Columbine Massacre RPG" out of the contest, as a personal decision "based on moral grounds and concern for the future of the organization."
The flOw team has decided to protest this act by withdrawing from the festival. This was a very difficult decision, but it came down to not whether we like SCMRPG or not (we are pretty evenly split on this), but that we cannot condone or leave unchallenged an act which we feel sets a terrible precedent. Please read our announcement here.

As one of the creators of Waco Resurrection, a Slamdance finalist in 2005, I support you guys.
I don't personally think it was pressure from sponsors.
As someone who is hoping to submit games in future years, I don't feel comfortable doing so now.
I think your decision really does make a difference, though, we all hope.
