New comment on GeekList Burbank Virtual Flea Market - LFG CON August 13-16 Los Angeles Marriot Burbank Airport

I think this VFM has reached very good numbers for a first-time endeavor at a small, fledgling con. Listings and activity really picked up in the last week.

I have to say that with only 143 listings (as of noon PST 8/3/26), we already have a nice ratio of quality games and good deals (with a few out-and-out steals). 🙂

It allows me to play more Call of Cthulhu and Glorantha stuff than I can normally fit in and also try newer, odder, systems.
I remember the very first one I went to (when it was in Leicester) I went alone and was standing in the corridors waiting for the sign-up sheets to go up when I heard someone say "I know you don't I". I was a bit puzzled as I didn't recognise the guy speaking to me. "Yes, you're Andy Leighton, we went to school together"*. That and the friendly bar area (I would say well-stocked bar but the beer wasn't the best and we drank the bar dry) was a good way of settling in.
* We weren't in the same form and may have been a year apart.

I go to Continuum which is every year these days. When I started the con was every 2 years. As things go it is fairly small 200-300 people I think and primarily focused on RPGs but there are also freeforms and boardgames.It allows me to play more Call of Cthulhu and Glorantha stuff than I can normally fit in and also try newer, odder, systems.

The human brain is a fascinating thing, but dang if that dopamine hit wasn't kinda awesome.
I'd assume the same would happen for many of you whilst waiting for kickstarters or game purchases.

Just had a moment where I checked on a package and it said "Out for delivery" and I swear to all that is holy I got the same feeling I used to get Christmas morning in the 80s.The human brain is a fascinating thing, but dang if that dopamine hit wasn't kinda awesome.

What counts as "facilitate" for the purpose of this challenge? I'm going to play a new GM-less game with a couple of friends this sunday. We all own the rules and we are all reading them at the moment to prepare for the session, so there will be noone who has to teach the rules to everyone else. From past experiences I know that everyone will bring some refreshments to the external place where we meet and also everyone will feel responsible for organizational stuff, safety tools,... So I'm struggling to decide if all of us are facilitators or if noone is? Does the session count for this challenge?
