Until the internet about 33.
Now about 12.
Internet has reduced show sales a lot!
Maybe shows will become mainly games with traders bringing a few display pieces, order at the show and it gets posted to you in the week. More traders(easier/cheaper for traders to get to the show), less trade space needed?

1 would like to do more but conflicts with my real life prohibits it.

3 in last 12 months – hope to make 4 this calendar year.

5 for me!

Old Wolfman17 Oct 2017 6:59 a.m. PST

2 this year. CincyCon and ATC(Advance The Colors). Would've been 3,but I had to skip Origins to help a work bud,and GenCon due to serious SNAFU in pre-reg.

jefritrout17 Oct 2017 7:31 a.m. PST

This last year was only 4, but normally it is 5.

ViscountEric17 Oct 2017 7:56 a.m. PST

Three this year, hoping for 6+ next year

Ragbones17 Oct 2017 10:35 a.m. PST

Zero. Used to attend all three HMGS East conventions but stopped going several years ago. Hope to go to one or two next year.

quackstheking17 Oct 2017 10:48 a.m. PST

5!

Warfare – 8 (usually a 10 but took SWMBO which curbed my spending!)
Salute – 9 so much to see, so much to do, so much to spend and too little time!
Partizan 1 – 10 Great venue, lots of great games
Partizan 2 – 7 missed a few traders I wanted to see but caught up with some good friends
Derby – 9 in 2016; 3 in 2017 too hot, cramped (trade and demos), awful parking and remote! Good lighting but won't return in 2018 after nearly 25 years!

Usually do Salute and Colours as they are nicely six months apart, but also have started going to Derby Worlds (now in Leicester) as well.
