| I'd go. I'd buy a ticket every year, even if I couldn't afford to travel there, just to do my part to keep the thing going financially. |

I'd never heard of a gaming convention that focused only on the Realms. The last Con I went to was in 2007.
Tell you what: if I won the lottery, I'd be up for financing something like this. (A guy can dream, right?)
So, if money was no option in terms of producing a multi-day Realms convention, what would you guys want to see?
I would want an event that was three days long.
I'd hire Renaissance Faire veterans to walk around each day in the convention hall, dressed in period clothing for a given city or nation during the era described in the Grey Box: Bezantur on day 1; Cormyr on day 2; Waterdeep on day 3.
If the Realms movie was being filmed concurrently, I'd try to convince the producers to lend clothes from their wardrobe department and set pieces. |

| I like the idea, but I'm not sure the fan base is big enough to support a full-on convention... GenCon is a pretty big deal, as far as conventions go, and there was only 100-something of us at the CKeep gathering. Sure, not all fans of the Realms are on these boards, but given those numbers, it doesn't make me hopeful for a convention with such a singular focus. |

Never fear, Wooly. We're In no danger of causing a Realms convention by accident with this discussion.  |

A Realms-only convention?
