I talked to them already and they told me they were upset with the same person, for the same reason. The point behind my OP was to find out if anybody else had a similar experience with "living" organizations in their vicinities.

It was on both days. It was the same woman, and she said that she owned a store and that she represented LFR in Toronto.

Anything that anybody says anywhere can be subjected to that logic. You have a right to deny the validity of anything that you want to deny, just for the sake of denying it. Just like you can block the progress of a dungeon adventure by assuming that everything that your character sees is an...

I am making a general point here, but if you really want to know which con' it was most recently, it was Fan Expo 2010 in Toronto. I am writing about this to find out if anybody has a similar experience to mine. All of the things that I talked about in my OP happened that weekend. It's good to...

Most people who have gone to or run gaming cons will have seen a "Living" gaming group (LG, LFR) or similar company-sponsored event in action. Has anybody here ever witnessed them interacting badly with other events? Things I am thinking of here include "advising" attendees that other events are...

I wanted to post this as a followup to a thread that I started last week, asking people what their first non-D&D RPGs were, but I did not want this to get buried in a thread that already has dozens of replies, and it should have been in this forum instead of the D&D one where I posted it...

Most people started out playing RPGs when they discovered D&D. It's almost a ritual on gaming forums, to brag about which edition of D&D you started playing. I am surprised at how many people who put the "box set with the red cover" as their introductory edition. (It's a little depressing...

Wraith: The Oblivion by White Wolf and HöL both qualify in that regard for me. I've played in a couple of really good Vampire games and one awesome HöL game, but it's a lot easier to read those books for fun than it is to play a game that actually takes place in those settings. Special mention...

Maybe they'll end up as D&D players in the bargain though, discovering that it's a more interesting game than Magic. That's not a bad thing. What would be bad, however, is if they got into it thinking that "roleplaying" was all about fighting and using powers that are on your character sheet...

Well, sure. It's also true that not all gamers are borderline aspergers cases with no social skills and irregular bathing habits. :D Still, you get a glimpse of this every time you go to a gaming convention or even to the FLGS. I see plenty of well-adjusted, seemingly healthy people and I also...

I see some threads here about the new "Red Box" D&D set, sold under the name "D&D Essentials." It's obvious that people here have tried it. Still, I'd like ot know what people think of it.

For my first post here, I am going to discuss something off-topic, since it's easier than getting into the hardcore gaming discussions right off the bat. Gaming is a very sedentary activity. Unless you are LARPing, most of it is done sitting down and even LARPing isn't very physically...
