hi team. i came from philcon 2015. even though it was a sci-fi themed convention on cosplay, art, authors and panel discussion. it has potential for miniature gaming. our small group hosted a couple of table gaming venues. but generated a lot of discussion. introducing miniature gaming to the community for the first time. i see great potential for next year. the staff afforded us nice accommodations. looking forward to next year. thank you philcon staff! |

I've been to every Philcon for probably the last 20-years, except for this year (2015) due to a family emergency. I'll be there next year… some board/mini gaming would definitely help kick a little life back into the convention. |

Perhaps tailoring the gaming options to the venue would help.
7TV episodes (Danger 5 strikes me as a good option here), a rollicking Wasileski Bros. mash-up of television/film/whatever characters interacting in the usual unique, quaint, and amusing ways, G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T. games with pop culture combattants, Star Wars and Battlestar/Cylon space battles, Robotech and or Starblazers miniature games-- any of the above would ring a bell with other conventiongoers who may not have had the joy of minatures gaming brought into their lives yet.
Of course we might make some rabid toy collectors gasp at our chutzpah and folly for _Taking the toys out of their packages_!!!!! And PLAYING WITH THEM (oh, the humanities)!!!!! |
