I generally make one (Kingdom Con), though I ought to shoot for more, given that L.A. is wihtin driving distance, and there are 3 a year that run there.

I'm running at ComicCon this year. It's not technically a wargaming con, but it does mean exposing my game outside the usual crowd.

Two, though they cover 4 days of gaming in total. Have a couple of others I'm thinking of, but timing and/or distance just don't work out.

C -- Genghis Con and Tacticon, both in the Denver metro area. Two years running, I was able to make it to ReaperCon, as well.

When I lived in Virginia? As many as eight.

Since I moved back to California: One, for one day.

1 to 3 depanding on a lot of things. But at least one local con.

(g) more than 5 …

But it seems to be dropping.

I do an mix of wargame shows, tournaments and heritage events … 33 in 2013, 28 in 2014 and 20 last year.

So less than 2 a month (for the first time in 20 years), now, and fewer tournaments – more heritage (FWIW less wargaming, more history). I expect that trend to continue.

I used to attend 20 each year. Now since the heart surgery, I am down to about 10 each year. I have attended shows from Miami to Seattle and San Francisco. I attend 19 straight Historicons until issues arose a few years ago.
Now I focus on the Southeast, though I returned to Oklahoma City this year.

2 to 3.
