Thoughts and Ramblings: Gaming Conventions and kids.
This will upset some parents I'm sure but hey, I doubt they read this anyway.
An Open letter to gamers who are parents:
Dear Parent,
I was a parent of a small child or two once. I too like to go to conventions like GenCon and Origins to play games. I know you are there for that reason. HOWEVER I am not there to watch your child while you game. If you cannot control that child and let him/her run wild in a large convention center with lots of strangers of varying degrees of trustworthiness, then leave them at home with a relative or trusted baby sitter. It will reduce the frustration level of the other gamers and keep your child a heck of a lot safer. SAFER. And they will not bother others on vacation either.
Thank you
