Here's my .02 on bringing games to shows. No games = no shows. Yeah, you can have a flea market only show, but isn't half the fun the networking/hanging out? That's part of what having a free play area adds to a show. I bring games to every show I attend ...and they're pretty nice games, I've NEVER in 20 years had a problem with them being abused or something not repairable happening to them. Yeah, you risk something happening but again no games = no shows.
