I sometimes attend game conventions and meetings. Look for someone over 6'6" ( I used to be 6'7"), middle-aged (I am officially a senior citizen, in fact), overweight (I used to be impressed by 300 pound NFL linemen until I became nearly as large as one), salt-and-peppered and balding, grey half-beard, glasses. Rick Steeves (rick@sinister.net) has a game meeting at his house on the third Friday of each month, 7 until. I try to get there most months. I ordinarily attend Origins and the World Boardgaming Championships, the former to talk to publishers, the latter to talk with the Britannia fans and persuade them to playtest new games. Right now I expect to be at both in 2006. I was at PrezCon and Pow-wow in Charlottesville in 2004. I had to skip PrezCon both in 2005. When I tallied up my travel costs for 2004 I was pretty impressed . . . I've just returned from PrezCon 06, more here soon. I try to get to NCSU Game Day every time it happens, though playtesting "pickings" can be slim. |
