For example, when Living Greyhawk was running, several gamers for in the Pale region would run con days at game stores or at a small hotel meeting room. They would get about 30-60 players for a weekend of gaming. The cost of registration would be about $12-$15 if I remember correctly per person, but they'd get in about six games.Granted, you don't seem like someone who has the kind of money to start this up, but so let's scale it down a bit and make it just one day and see if you can get a meeting room from a community center or a library. Maybe you can partner with someone who can help pay for the costs of the meeting room while you DM. Order RPGA mods for Living FR or whatever the RPGA is doing these days and charge a flat rate fee for the module. Granted, you're going to be really busy to run three modules back-to-back (that's 12 hours right there with no breaks), but if you can manage it, you can probably get away to charge something like $10 per person for the day. Go to Costco and buy a mega pack of candy and sodas and charge something ridiculous like $1 a candy bar and $1.50 a soda (Gamers will buy, they always do).The economies of scale usually work better if you offer more games over the weekend and have more GMs with you; however, crunch the numbers and see if you can make a profit on it out of a single day. If not, good luck and try something else. If so, go for it, because I'm sure there are lots of RPGA players who'd like to get their mods under their belts if they know there are organized events going on in their area (I went to them and so did lots of other players, so I know there was demand).As for your resume and job hunting, I don't know your skills, but have you gone to your local unemployment office? They usually have an office that offers workshops on polishing your resume, interviewing, and placement services of their own. Another thing is through temp services to take anything. Of course, all levels of government are hiring and I'd check out your city, county, and state government websites, particularly if they got stimulus money for shovel-ready projects. Good luck.</blockquote>
