Thread: TXWGCon 2015

Since no one else posted, I'll just drop this here:

Wait is this a new name again? I thought last year they dropped the "war"

I just know what the Internet tells me.

Newspapers? I heard that said, and I find it a little suspect. I didn't see any advertisements or see a setup that even benefitted walk in crowds. This is Texas I can advertise a gun and knife show in prime time. Now sex games con? That I could see someone raising hell, but I doubt it would stop a paid ad being run.

My guess is sights were set higher with goals of maybe Catan, or **** I dunno scrabble, events running side by side and war was dropped for that reason.

I'm glad War is back in the title, let's all wear the pants that fit.

How about matching shirts bring your own pants BYOP.

As someone who was part of that decision, that is not correct. The idea last year was to expand the convention to a wider audience, including board games, so the name wanted to reflect that.

Also, the original name of the convention is BoLSCon.
