[QUOTE="HippyCraig, post: 8691516, member: 6863816"] yea you can see and buy stuff on the internet but I think the point is to actually be physically with other likeminded people. Talk to the people that create the games we love to play, learn about there new games ask question on some of the games where rules can be vague. Sit with strangers and play an rpg maybe you make a new friend that you can later play online with if you come from different parts of the world. the vendor hall alone has people from all over you can talk and learn more of say why a game is made a certain way thats important to a specific culture, ask question and expand your own Knowledge. That’s just the start of what can happen there, people just being themselves that makes it relevant. Try and see go to one see What it’s like. I remember one year I say some thing on the list called puppet karaoke I don’t know anything about it went and had a blast. It’s was people bringing there own puppets to sing with professional puppeteers doing backup. If I didn’t go I would have missed that experience hope that helps answer your question 😀 [/QUOTE]
