Re: FT at Origins, or lack of

***
KR, I noticed that there were far more historical games in the pre-reg
book
for Origins than at GenCon, though there were far less non-historical
miniatures games. Is this a trend you noticed? I'm just curious, as
GenCon's
mini events seem to be dwindling, too...

I wouldn't dare speak for KR, but Origins has always been considered
historical, board oriented, and GenCon fantasy/RPG. That said, both have
fallen to card by bunch.

I have been noticing a fair selling out of even the vaunted Poke-crack.

always times of opportunity.

You can be your local Evil Empire (tm) affeccianados(sp?) will be trying

recruit the disillusioned young masses. (Yes, I know, plenty of WHFB and
40K players on the list; I've a few armies myself. ;->= )

Still, I may crank a little courage to try some FT on impressionable
minds.

FWIW: GenCon locations for mini games has been abysmal the last few
years.
This is supposed to be the year they make up for past sins.

Don't
stop sharing; just make sure you include some of your valuble

ideas! ;->=

PPS. I recall the shock, after seeing The Onion on the web for months,
going to GenCon and seeing actually hard copy for free in doorside
stands
in cafes and the like. I assumed it was a web creation. DOPEY MOI!
