[QUOTE="Ciarrai, post: 392405, member: 6377"] I need your help. I help run <a href="http://www.iconsf.org">I-CON</a>, a sci-fi convention here on Long Island, NY. Although I have been involved with I-CON for years, this is my first year working with the gaming department. The people who have run gaming in the past are either out of contact or really incompetant and so I don't have much feedback on what has worked in the past as far as what games to feature, what guests to invite and what kinds of other programming to plan. The only information that I have is my own impressions and some vauge grumbling from people that I know. What I need from you is some idea of what you would like to see at a convention. That way, I am not just going on my personal preferences. Things that I need to know: #1. Your favorite RPG's (besides D&D) #2. Your favorite CCG's #3. Your favorite minature / wargames #4.

What topics would you be interested in? <li>The Gaming Industry: trends, new and up coming products, how to break into the business, etc.</li> <li>D20 Games and Open Source Gaming</li> <li>Game Design and Development: Writing, playtesting, and producing new games. </li> <li>For Game Masters Only: plot development, creating / running NPC's, handling problem players, encouraging role playing, tips and tricks of the trade, etc.</li> <li>Player Forums: creating better characters, role playing, resources and inspiration, etc.</li> <li>Tools and Software: programs and resources for players and DMs. </li> <li>Minature, Terrain Costumes and Props: Professional tips and tricks, learn to make your own.</li> <li>Gaming Culture: discussions by gamers, for gamers and about gamers.
