 May 20, 2014 - 4:52am | This article examines the growing attendance at "geek" events. Favorite quote: Or to put it another way, the geeks have inherited the Earth...and it's starting to become very crowded. http://www.examiner.com/article/the-reason-you-didn-t-get-your-gen-con-event-tickets-this-year I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 May 21, 2014 - 12:49pm | The attendance is due to cosplay, not gaming. GenCon should split into two or three separate events each year, separating tabletop gaming from cosplay and from video gaming. I can't wait for the day when the industry wakes up to the realization that there is a dramatic and fundamental difference between tabletop RPG's and video game RPG's.

May 21, 2014 - 3:50pm | Yes, but being inclusive of cosplay markedly ups the estragen in attendance at the con, which is not a bad thing IMO. Exhibits A, B and and damn I lost count.    I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 May 21, 2014 - 5:07pm | I am guessing Gencon will split into different cons when Comiccon does. Are there any comics at Comiccon these days? Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go? |
