[QUOTE="Saracenus, post: 4933785, member: 47839"] When looking for 4e events at a Con, first check if there is an RPGA presence, because we suck all the 4e oxygen out of the General/Free Play areas of the Con with the Judge demand and schedule put forth. When 3e and Living Greyhawk was the King Kong of Cons, it was the same. It wasn't until late in the campaign when people were burning out that you saw large offerings outside the RPGA. At PAX this year, 4e was dominated by the Ultimate Dungeon Delve (4e), The Delve (4e) and Living Forgotten Realms (4e). The regular Delve alone was running 9 tables of 6 players an hour in a 4 hour slot and all tables were full. We had a total of 6 slots over 3 days. That's: [LIST] [*]1296 players (though people played multiple times) [*]216 tables [/LIST] We had so many people that wanted to play the Ultimate Dungeon Delve that we could not accommodate all of them. But we ran 6 or 7 tables each slot. I don't have the LFR statistics because I wasn't in charge of the gaming, I was just a judge. While organized play is not everyone's cup of tea it does provide a huge part of many cons. Pathfinder Society is gonna have the same effect. Where there is organized Pathfinder RPG presence at the Con you will see more play. The trick is going to be competing for limited DM resources when both the RPGA and Pathfinder Society are at the same Con. My two coppers, [/QUOTE]
