No Cons in DC area?

[GuardianLurker]

Oh, there are Cons in the DC area - most are summer though, and small.

There's a con (Castlecon?) in the June/July time frame.
UMD-College Park has a con float through every now and then.
Balticon is really an SF con, but it has a *very* small gaming attachment.

I really miss the days when Origins toured the country.

As for Gaming Day - I'd come. Heck, it probably wouldn't even be hard to talk one of the local FLGS's to pony up/allow us to use their space.

I live in DC also (well, Silver Spring but I'm about to move into DC). A good place to get info on local cons would be the DCRPG yahoogroup. I don't know much about RPGA cons anymore, I gave those up then Living City died. There are a few LARPs in the area if you are interested, mostly Vampire.

There are a couple of small cons (which I have never attended.) A real con around here would be nice.

There are a decent number of conventions in the DC area.

If you are interested in just general gaming conventions, I would stop by the Game Parlor in Chantilly and take a look at their fliers.

If you are interested in RPGA gaming in the DC area, you might check out the Living Greyhawk's DC area mailing list -- that will have a list of many of the major DC area RPGA cons. groups.yahoo.com/group/living-geoff

There are a number of cons, but nothing the size of Origins.

The Warhammer con in Baltimore is pretty cool if you are into that sort of stuff.

Balticon is awesome for fiction.

I saw this post and for some reason thought convicts.

So are you trying to tell us that despite the context and theme of this entire ENWorld Board, you just naturally associate the DC-metro area with convicts.... ?

(So, you must have visited here or something ;-)
