[QUOTE="Keeper of Secrets, post: 5667069, member: 13836"] The only cons I really attend are gaming cons (Origins and GenCon) and a lot of comic shows in the midwest area. The comic shows rarely have any gaming other than maybe some Pokemon tournaments. I think the real problem with pushing gaming at, say, a comic show is the lack of participation or the (understandable) lack of support. Your average role playing game can 'entertain' seven people: 1 GM and 6 players. And you need a table. Multiply that by about ten games and for one slot you need a whole room to entertain a relatively small number of people. I think that is why you don't see as much in the way of gaming at comic shows. (Other than Pokemon or Magic or whatever.) For my personal tastes I would not have much interest doing much gaming at a comic show since (a) I am there for comics and (b) the selection of games is probably not very diverse. [/QUOTE]
