The contests are OVER! Thanks very much to everyone for playing!

[SteelDraco]

I go to them when I can. I like meeting people there, particularly getting a chance to meet people I know from online - I used to be pretty active in the WotC chat rooms, and it was nice to meet people from there. Haven't been to a con in a few years, though.

 

[talinthas]

pretty much the same reason as Draco. I used to go to meet DL folks and hang with the people from wotc chat, but as of late gencon has been overlapping with summerschool, so i havent been able to go. however, since i'm graduating this year, i'm gonna try to go to indy =)

 

[Drunknmonk]

Ive been to one gen con and found it a ball. But now it is just to far to drive and the whole money issue

 

[Voadam]

Nope.

I generally only game with friends I know.

 

[NarlethDrider]

I have yet to get to a con----the main hurdle is finances

 

[BobROE]

I haven't been to a Con, due to a lack of time, money, and transportation. I'd like to at some point though (I'm still young).

 

[Crothian]

I goto conventions to meet people and talk to the publishers and writers. It's fun to play in some games that I don't get to play normally as well.

 

[JesterPoet]

I've never been. It never fails... every year for the last 6 years or so, something has come up that same weekend that I can't get out of.

I'm gonna try this year, but it'll probably be the same thing.

 

[Macbeth]

I haven't gone to Con's in the past because I was living with my parents and they weren't big on the idea of me and my friends traveling all over all by ourselves.

But now I'm 18, off at college, and so that may all change this summer. Road Trip!

 

[Corinth]

I don't go because the locals ones are either badly advertised (if at all) or positioned on weekends where I have prior commitments. I don't go to out of town cons because of the expense involved. I can afford one con a year, so I go to the big SF/F con in town: CONvergence.
