      @coliver I did notice a reduction in quality last year but that event is more about seeing friends from all over the country for me. Couldn't go this year.

      I got a last minute Sunday ticket for dirt cheap. The board game section, which I normally go for, was probably 1/3 the size this year then it was last (which was 1/2 the size of previous years). The expo hall layout was hard to understand and get around, mostly because they were cramming more exhibitors in.

      My brother and I are going to try and hit up the PAX Unplugged event in Philly, that's dedicated to board games so hopefully that will be a nice change.

      You ever go to GenCon? I have a lot of board game fanatic friends that go every year. Sounds right up your alley. It is in Indiana I think though

      No, that's been on the list for a few years. PAX East was just so much more accessible for us.

      Yeah it sounds like it. If you aren't enjoying yourself though maybe it's becoming the better option. From what I hear it's absolutely insane.

      Yep, I am probably going to volunteer to run some games for one of the companies I follow in the near future. That will comp the ticket then I just need to get there and pay for a hotel.

      If you do end up going let me know what your experience is like. It's been on my list awhile too

      Gencon is huge and fun. Worth trying at least once if you are into that scene.

      Checking out some of the smaller regional/local cons might be worth while as well. Dexcon in NJ was one of my favorites when I lived out there. Been ages since my last one though so I'm not sure what quality is like these days.

        Hm, I can't seem to locate an online presence for Dexcon. What part of NJ is that? I competed for years in Street Fighter and I used to go to a lot of majors for it. not a stranger to going to tournaments. It's a fun time.

          Dexposure.com is the site for the group that runs it. The do a lot of other events as well. Dreamation is the other one of theirs that I have been to. Largely the same thing as Dexcon. They run them at about a six month interval.

                    In any of the weddings you have attended, has either the bride or the groom come as Darth Vader?

                                    I used to go to GenCon yearly, but it has changed noticeably. I think it is overwhelmed by card gaming now. There's used to be a good balance, but it shifted too much.

                                    This year is the 50th and I am contemplating attending again, but meh, not decided yet.

                                      Has anybody checked out Chorewars.com before? Mainly a motivator to get kids to do chores around the house, etc.
