There was talk about holding a GenCon here some years ago, but it never eventuated...so I won't hold my breath about mention of another. ;) :p
Amazing what an internet search will pull up these days - Unleashed, check out the sblocked press release - sounds very promising - WooHoo GenCon Brisbane!!!

[sblock=GenConOZ] GenConOZ Reports: Brisbane, Australia - Eventions Creative Event Management Pty Ltd announced that they have signed a license agreement with Gen Con LLC to run the internationally popular Gen Con event in Australia. The event is scheduled to launch on the 3rd July 2008 for four days at the Brisbane Exhibition and Convention Centre, Brisbane, Queensland.

Gen Con is a gaming convention which started in the USA approximately 40 years ago in Lake Geneva as a meeting between friends to play games. Today that name lives on in the gaming industry with conventions run in Indianapolis (USA), California (USA), Paris (France), and the United Kingdom. Gen Con™ conventions attract over 60,000 people world wide, and host a large array of events including Anime, Board Games, Collectible Cards and Miniatures Games, Computer Games, Miniature War Gaming and Role Playing Games. The convention also includes a trade show for the Gaming, Anime and Comic industries.

Ian Houlihan, co-director of Eventions Creative Event Management said, “Gen Con™ is considered legendary amongst Australian gamers, so bringing it to Australia will be a dream come true for most. It will allow them for the first time to experience the atmosphere and buzz that Gen Con™ is renowned for and why it is aptly referred to as ‘The Best Four Days in Gaming’™.”

Brisbane has on its door step some of Australia’s most popular tourist attractions including the Gold Coast, Movie World, Dream World, Sea World, Underwater World and Australia Zoo, home to ‘The Crocodile Hunter’- Steve Irwin. Mr Houlihan went further saying “We not only picked this time of year to coincide with the school holidays throughout Australia, but to link into the timing of vacations for many of our overseas guests. We therefore hope to encourage all gamers across the world to come to Queensland to enjoy what Brisbane has to offer and to get their ‘gaming fix’ as well”.

Eventions Creative Event Management has established a website www.genconoz.com with more information. Alternatively you can contact the organisers at info@genconoz.com.

In RA's spelljamming homebrew each world has its own economy. Each character gets a different starting gold and different rules on how they can spend it. Its all in the balance that he creates too, which is just amazing how he can keep it all in his head (cause it ain't on paper for the most part).
