New Gaming Convention In Atlanta?

[The Mighty Git]

Some people I work for are contemplating a new gaming convention in Atlanta GA. Wwhat I need is feedback. What would you like to see? What would you like to do? What would get you here for it?
By the way, free transpo in not an option. :p

Thanks for your input

I'd definitely show.
I only live a few hours away from Atlanta.
Plus, any excuse to go there is always welcomed!

I'd want to see good terrain.
Vendors to buy stuff from.
Pick up games available.

You know, the usual stuff at conventions and tournaments.

Atlanta would be AWESOME! I've always wanted to go to a big tournament, but just couldn't make the journey. Having a big event like that right in my backyard would be very cool.

So vendors, various tournaments (40k, Fantasy, Warmachine, etc.), painting competitions, all that would be awesome if possible. Just go ahead and rent out one of the giant rooms at the World Congress Center. lol

Only 2? This ain't gonna no little show if it happens. We would like to know what would draw every one here.

Dante, where in town are you? Maybe we should do battle sometime. Anybody else on the forum live in or around Atlanta?

I'd love to see a gaming convention in Atlanta again. I think that if you are going to do it you really can't afford to go in half-hearted though.

I'd love to see as much opening gaming as tournament gaming.
And specialist support. I really would like to see a Battlefleet Gothic Megabattle or large battle that you can use to get people who maybe haven't had a chance to get interested a good look at the game.

I do.

A big Battlefleet game sounds awesome, maybe even some Necromunda. Or dare I dream to see Gorkamorka played in public again? We want to do this big, and right, so any suggestions are helpful.

I would love to see another convention in Atlanta other than Dragoncon. I would love to see some of the following just off the top of my head. I would be willing to pay a decent amount for 3 days of non stop gaming fun. :)

Multiple tournament types.

Contests for painting and tutorials.

Open gaming rooms for those that just want a game but not be part of a tourney.

A vendors hall.

Some decent convention food. Every convention I have ever been to even Gencon has the standard 5 dollar hot dogs and 4 dollar cokes but I would love to see some renaissance fest style food with turkey legs and stew in bread bowls etc.

Let me know if you need a hand. I would be glad to devote some volunteer time to get this off the ground. :D

Thanks Vepr, Dragon Con has hit bottom as far as gaming goes, as well as a few other things. Send me a privat message with your contact info, we'd love to have you aboard. And that goes for anybody else that wants to get involved. Mmmmmm, Renn Fest food......
