Which is why super glue is always in my Con-Kit. I've been fortunate enough to never have anything stolen. |

Yes. While running a game of All Quiet / Martian Front I had a teenage player who I will call "overenthusiastic". He was playing Humans and at one point got excited that he would get to make a move (not sure why he was excited). He then tripped and fell onto the table totally destroying a Tripod miniature. Crushed it into a number of pieces. We played with an empty base on the table… He was apologetic enough that he was forgiven was a stern "Dude, relax…" The miniature was repaired later at home, but it is still kinda wonky…. Dave |

Not as a host, but at an SF/F con in Tuscaloosa in 1990 somebody stole my AD&D Monster Manual (1e). Kinda cheesed me. |

Gaming involves a bit of wear and tear on the miniatures. It is the nature of the hobby. |

Agreed, Fitzovich. But it should not involve castings disappearing. |

Someone made off with one of my nWoD dice once, maybe fifteen years ago. Still slightly bugged about it, because it's not easily replaceable. |

No theft, but some minis broken. All repairable, except for the one base that somehow jumped off the table and was stepped on by a large fellow. |

Never hosted a con game but at the local gaming club nothing gets lifted but especially for medieval a lot of spears/shields seem to come off -enough that I have my SuperGlue to hand at all times |

Kind of a multi-part poll question here. Should have a poll for broken, etc and a separate poll for stolen. |
