0.013 years!

CATenWolde17 Mar 2017 1:33 a.m. PST

About 10 years! :(

I used to go to 3-4 conventions per year when I was living in the USA, and it was a huge part of my hobby life. Since moving to Helsinki I have been cut off completely, and it has made my gaming more insular. The convention circuit is one of the big reasons I'm looking forward to moving back!

nevinsrip17 Mar 2017 1:45 a.m. PST

Historicon in 2003. or 2004. Whatever year that they honored Hal MWAN.

advocate17 Mar 2017 1:58 a.m. PST

Six months

abelp0117 Mar 2017 2:18 a.m. PST

11 years. Although I miss the games I could get to play, it always felt like total chaos with people removing names on the game schedule board. Absolutely no monitoring of this and other issues. It's probably been fixed since then, but if it isn't, well, I'm just gettin' too old (and ill) for that manure!

ZULUPAUL Supporting Member of TMP17 Mar 2017 2:24 a.m. PST

6 months but there have been gaps of 2 years or more between conventions.

JimDuncanUK17 Mar 2017 3:27 a.m. PST

I attend somewhere between 10 and 12 shows a year so not long in between them.

0.1 as I was just at a show last month and will be at one next week. I probably hit at least 4 shows a year, sometimes 6-8.

Ceterman17 Mar 2017 4:49 a.m. PST

Historicon 2016.

cabin4clw17 Mar 2017 4:56 a.m. PST

4 years because of 1 hip replacement and 3 back surgeries.

Hopefully, Spartacon in Lansing 2018.

1. I go to Little Wars every year. Looking to go to other but haven't managed it yet.

Personal logo ColCampbell Supporting Member of TMP17 Mar 2017 8:07 a.m. PST

A little over 4 months ago – attended Colonial Barracks in November 2016. Looking forward to Bayou Wars in June and Historicon in July.

Since, by your own interpretation "boardgames with miniatures" count, I attended CMoN Expo last year.

Chris Wimbrow17 Mar 2017 9:15 a.m. PST

TennCon in the late 90s, only because it was in Knoxville.

From money to physical difficulties, I don't travel much.

79thPA Supporting Member of TMP17 Mar 2017 9:54 a.m. PST

I can usually make it to something every year.

goragrad17 Mar 2017 10:23 a.m. PST

Half a year.
