Where I currently live (US, rural), within 1 hour car drive.
Where I used to live (Germany, city), either withing 30 min car drive or reachable by public transportation.

Usually conventions nowadays are several days long, which is great fun, but accommodation then also plays into it as it adds to the total cost and forces a decision to either: Pay more, cut down on commute or pay less, but add drive time and less rest. I tend to stick to the first, which drives my decision making.

I live just far enough away from New Orleans that I can avoid the various money grabs comic cons in the city when they come. I don’t like crowds and I’ve found I much prefer my home group and my FLGS to conventions. That said I love literary sci-fi so I’d love World Con to come back to New Orleans but it was such a disaster in 1988 that they’ll never make that mistake again.

Jumping on this old thread. About to run a game, so no spoilers please.

When using a searching card do you specify any location or just locations that have been revealed/drawn?

Some of the minis I am working on came with separate heads, but some of the poses are repeated (some with minor variations), and I didn't want to use all of the heads that were provided. So I have been doing some head swaps from other sources. One of those sources was one of the Reaper minis. Turns out it was the 3D printed one. That resin was tougher to work with than plastic - harder to cut and drill. It took some work, but I got it to fit. Then yesterday, I was looking for something else and found I had some extra metal heads from some other minis, from a set that had provided multiple options. A different company, so they needed some work to fit, too. More cutting, filing, and drilling, but I got another different head with different headgear to fit one of the figures. Now I have more options if I want. 😊

I like it when players descibe their character's training both in-game and over downtime, it just adds a certain sense of verisimilitude and continuity that might otherwise be lacking. For the diligent, I might even give a small benefit.

As a player, I try to do the same for my characters. Most of them want to improve their skills after all.
