Sooo...ooo, Did we ever come to a consensus (oh, those work-related meetings do rub off, don't they?) on what date we'll be next meeting?

(...) Heh. (...) 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 (...)

(...) I guess it really depends on how much we want to get BrikWars publicity. I sincerely doubt it would do much for NELUG in general. In all honesty, I would say it would most likely be a waste of time. eric (23 years ago, 20-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

This is more a question for our seasoned gamers. Do you think it would be worth the effort to look into presenting Brikwars at a local gaming convention? Or would it be a waist of time and effort?
