Heck no, DC is the place! Or out here in the beautiful Virginia suburbs. You guys don't know what you're missing; traffic, high taxes, bureaucratic hot air, terror threats, stifling summer heat and humidity... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

As Karibu, a fierce animal of cold northern mountains, I say the only place to keep this kind of hotheaded conference is Helsinki in Finland in the middle of january. The weather will cool down everybodys disagreements as well your drinks. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Guys let me know if this is something that would truly interest you, I'm "listening".

Sounds like a great idea, at least for those of you who will be able to go. Me, I'll have to settle for seeing the pictures, unless you decide to hold the convention in Brazil.

Nah, that would be a bad idea, there is too much down here that might distract us from Space Empires. Better hold it somewhere more boring. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Come on, Newark NJ is undergoing a revival...

Well, FWIW, Kenzer & Co (a game company which caters to an entirely different crowd, so I'm not hyping the enemy here) holds their annual "Garycon" at Origins in Ohio (typically 4th of July weekend, earlier this year.)

Based on what I saw at Origins, that would be the ideal situation for Shrapnel to hold "Shrapnelcon." For those who don't know, Origins is the official convention of GAMA, the Game Manufacturers Association and home of the Origins Awards. This year's Origins attendance was somewhere around 13,000-14,000. There was one area of the convention dedicated exclusively to wargaming, and it looked like Lock 'n' Load was getting some hard looks. It also looked like SEIV was gaining some interest.

Anyway, I like the idea of Shrapnelcon, but I think it would be most effective if it took place concurrently with another large event Shrapnel is going to be at anyway.
