Re: Have you vere attended a Gaming Convention?
That's one of the thngs I like about Origins, versus some of the bigger game conventions like Gencon...$50 for the show badge, which alows you access to the convention halls all week, and $15 dollars for the Board Room Ribbon allows you unlimited gaming 24 hours a day for the week; that'll be about the base cost. Playing in tourneys can cost $5 to 10 dollars each, and individual events like the seminars can be $5 each, unless you buy the War College Ribbon for $15 for unlimited seminars (which I do as well). The big expense for me is the airline tickets and hotel.
It's definitely my big expense of the year, and my wife is tahnkfully 100% supportive of my heading West for the week in the Summer. For years, I've had friends that go on hunting weekends and week-long outtings; or go on tour with Drum Corps for a couple months (been there)...I look at it as an investment in my sanity (and my wife's).
