Well, that's a bloody bleak way of putting it...
When I said that they should do regional conventions, I wasn't implying
that they do 10 GenCon-sized conventions a year.  But having some Winter
Fantasy-sized conventions scattered across the map might work (granted,
those of you I'm speaking to probably didn't go to Winter Fantasy,
because it was in Milwaukee, then Chicago and now Indianapolis).  Gamers
themselves would only be going to one more con than they go to already
(the whole point was so gamers in the Pacific Northwest can't make it to
a con that's in, say, Florida), since it's not necessary to go to EVERY
con.
That, and not every game company would go to the smaller cons.  PEG
didn't send Shane and crew to Winter Fantasy, but all the game companies
that were local to the midwest made a showing; it was, simply a LOCAL
con.
