Likely I'll never get to a Game Con in MS… but these guys are actually trying to figure out what their consumers want in a convention. Big kudos to them for that effort and I wish them the best of luck. |

I don't live in Mississippi, but if it is held in the summer, I would be willing to try it out. It's good to see these types events being held in new locations. |

Are you with, or have you talked to, the Jackson Wargamers? |

By limiting the target group, you will lose attendance. Though they may not play your area, such as RPG or cards, they would help cover expenses by having events or a tournament for them to play in. There are already specific tourney events for systems like 40K, flames of war, mantic kings of war which I have seen 40 players in those tournaments for KoW at the past few shows. Tournaments do take up space compared to the players. A lot of planning issues. You need boots on the ground at the site too. |

A few years ago, after Katrina, the Bayou Wars show moved from New Orleans to Vicksburg. It was a very well attended show. |

That Vicksburg show has always inspired me. I will not limit the type of gaming but I would like to invite an ASL tournament and a LADG one too. I do know that they take up a lot of space and I am planning on that |

Bayouwars this year will be in Gulfport. I propose that a central MS show be held in New Orleans! |
