We run a little convention like this at a local gaming cafe each year. It allows us to run one of the older interactive specials (with a lower table requirement) and a chance to get that quarter's GM boon. If you get the word out to surrounding areas, it's pretty easy to have a mini-convention of your own. Only 3 tables per slot! That's 12 participants minimum (assuming each table has 1 GM, 3 players, 1 pregen).James Martin wrote:A 15 session convention is not impossible by any stretch.
