This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What do you look for in a con event?

Quote from: Piestrio;636009It is a paid "event" if I'm not mistaken. But I think it's fairly reasonable and the sessions are all day.

OK, if you can take in enough to pay for a professional, that'd be great.

The mini con a friend and I ran was at a community centre and we charged 3 pounds entry, barely enough to cover the hall hire and other expenses (we had about 25 people attending). so paying a professional child carer would have been out of the question.

The only kids who came to that anyway were mine and the other guy who was organising it, so we were responsible for them anyway, still if other parents had turned up with kids, they would have been welcome as long as the parents stuck around to keep an eye on their kids.
