Sounds like a great idea. Although I will not be attending Gen Con this
year, I would be happy to be a part of the proposed organization.

Some more name ideas...
LGC - Lego Gamers Club (like LTC, perhaps it would be a more general term)
LOGIC - Lego Object Gamers International Club
GULP - Gamers Using Lego Plastic
ILGA - International Lego Gamer Association
Of these, I like LOGIC the best (especially if the term LGC becomes accepted
for general use to describe any sub-community), but I am not sure about the
O word. My first instinct was "Organized" but then it makes it sound like
it is sanctioned by TLC. ...Only? ...Onslaught?

Interesting question. It seems that TLC is accepting of their trademark
being used in organizational acronyms (LUGNET, LUGs, LTCs, etc.). As long
as we give credit and disclaimers when the full title is spelled out,
hopefully we'd be as okay as those groups (although I am not a lawyer).
