Is it a symptom or a root cause? I feel thankfully it is the latter: the collective wherewithal, resources, and dispersed nature of such a confederated movement.<br /><br />In the world of gaming these days, waiting until 2011 or 16 months is an eternity. I will make it a point this year to provide my feel of the convention at large.

I mentioned it on a thread about GenCon on my forums, and in the Labyrinth Lord Society newsletter, because there are going to be several LL games at GenCon and people can be directed to the FDG booth to find copies of the game.Dan of Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04957424338566461756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670029344758253148.post-54134762171552738782010-04-05T18:24:14.765+03:002010-04-05T18:24:14.765+03:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dan of Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04957424338566461756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670029344758253148.post-45403487833802675712010-04-05T15:22:20.110+03:002010-04-05T15:22:20.110+03:00@Joe - it was a Board of Directors call, not a gen...@Joe - it was a Board of Directors call, not a general participation call.

But the difference, I think, was that TARGA spurred those people either moved those events from someone's basement to the FLGS and/or made a more concerted effort to reach new people with the mantra that old school represents a different way of gaming that they might enjoy. <br /><br />For a volunteer group just getting started, this is pretty good work, and somewhat more than what the phrase "things people are already doing" might suggest.<br /><br />There is a lot of old school gaming going on out there that most people don't see.

I can't make it myself this year for a number of important reasons. Maybe next year though!

I missed out on a Bunnies and Burrows auction that went for a criminally low price IMO. The final totals were relatively easy to find, but finding the auctions while they were active was a pain.BlUsKrEEmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05050270487818381832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670029344758253148.post-49559781203617007672010-04-05T00:27:44.219+03:002010-04-05T00:27:44.219+03:00Here's the TARGA blog and TARGA website.
