Sometimes smaller is better...That's really the best way you can ensure change:  attend or not.  And the buzz is down because people are choosing not to attend, and spending their hard-earned and economy-impacted money on other things--like rent.There has been a HUGE amount of product on the market lately, with the promise of even more on the way.  The summer product push has caught up with the consumer base.  Think about it--those little WotC minis can be a big drain on the wallet when you add it all up!  I know people who have spent their plane ticket to GenCon in minis--not to mention the plethora of pricey little books and supplements that have found their way onto office shelves... Money, money, money...  Somethin's gotta give, and it's GenCon buzz and attendance..02Coreyartus</blockquote>
