Re: Shrapnel Games Convention Petition
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.
