Well, those are decent reasons.  I mean, we might get *some* new members as a
result of demo'ing BrikWars at a gaming convention- but I think the result that
most gamers would walk away with would be "BrikWars is a cool game, and free",
meanwhile forgetting completely about NELUG. :D

Oh, no.  We would be expected to allow convention goers to sign up and teach
them the basics of the game.  That's what demo'ing is all about.

Yeah, LEGO can promote themselves.  You'd be surprised though...  every once in
a while some gamer gets the bright idea to use LEGO minifigs instead of gaming
miniatures, but it's not that frequent.
