Reply To: [unofficial weekender] Con Crud Express?

Pledge: I’ve just spent over two weeks painting terrain, so my pledge is to get back to painting miniatures of people (using the term loosely).

Con Crud: I haven’t been to a convention in a while (unless you count Portland’s excellent H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival), but when I was going a lot, I always managed to avoid the con crud. It might be down to my ingrained need to enforce a large territorial bubble when in public.

Pros and cons of conventions: I go to game conventions mainly to try as many new games as I can. Plus there are a few games that are best with a larger group than I can normally muster on the average weekend (such as the Dune or Battlestar Galactica board games). If there’s a con, it’s that I often find it hard to get back to reality after 3 or 4 solid days of gaming.
