[QUOTE="William Ronald, post: 2521140, member: 426"] I was not at Gen Con this year, and I generally have not had many run-ins with smelly gamers. (Of course, my allergies may be a blessing in disguise. :lol: ) I have seen a few specifically bad cases, but these have been relatively rare. (In some cases, I think it was because of weird body chemistry.) Seriously, I think taking people aside can help. I have also attended a few non-gaming conventions over the years, and noticed some people do let hygiene slip. So, perhaps we can try to help our fellow gamers out. Maybe we can come up with a map of truck stops with showers, as well as help out our fellow gamers who are in need of a place to shower. It does not take much effort to keep clean. A quick wash can do wonders. Also, I like to think that when I go to a convention, I am representing more than myself. If I patronize a restarurant as a convention goer, I WANT the staff to think these are good people to show up each year. A good first impression is important. [/QUOTE]
