I attend Coldwwars and Historicon regurlarly--and occassionally run
games.	A 
few (3?) of years ago at Coldwars a ran a Full Thrust game that I
created on 
the spot and registered at the desk--mostly because that was the year we
had 
the snow storm hit just before the convention and several game masters 
weren't able to make it in (including the one for a game I had signed up

for).  In spite of the late registration of the Full Thrust game (1/2
hour 
before start), I had about 6 people playing.  Of course, that was under
what 
I would consider fluke conditions, but just goes to show that you never 
really know how much attendance you'll have...
