    Better watch out; some of my friends are going to a con next year (?) as the Kaiju from the "King of Tokyo" board/dice game. Another mutual friend wants to set up a live-action KoT...
    This sounds like SO much fun! You need to get this set up to run at Origins and GenCon!

      It's not me, just some people I know. And AFAIK, they don't make it out to the midwest. Just cons here in the SF Bay Area.

      I think one of them ran a Live Action version of Kill Doctor Lucky (a Cheap-Ass (TM) board game) a couple of years back, which sounded like great fun! And this year, at least, Artemis (computer-based live multi-station Star Fleet simulation) is the big thing.

      I'm a board-gamer, but not a con-goer. Which puts me in a significantly small minority in my main gaming group.

        Are your friends fans of Kaiju Big Battel? 'Cuz it sounds like they'd love it.

          I can't wait to see the cosplays at the upcoming local con at the end of August! I'm the volunteer wrangler for this one and it's only the second year for this particular convention I'm not sure if I'll be doing any cosplay myself at this because I know I'm going to be run off my feet again...not that I mind at all! I've got a friend who does body painting so maybe I'll get her to do something awesome on my face ^_^

            Me, my roommate and her boyfriend are doing a Spaceballs theme. Since I'm almost the size of John Candy that makes me Barf.

            I'm working on the giant hair dryer right now. I've only got 2 1/2 months!

              I like anime and I would like to go to a convention but I'm always afraid there'll be weirdos like this fellow. ....Weirdos tend to beeline for me. If some teen guy exposed his dingaling at me I would probably scream and knee him in the nads as a knee jerk reaction. O.o

                That is why there is security at cons - if something like this happens you look for either a volunteer or security and the creepo will be dealt with. I wouldn't mind your knee jerk reaction as it's much easier to deal with a creep rolling around on the floor clutching his 'nads than it is to have to run after them through a crowd...but we don't generally condone violence. Natural reactions are fully understandable

                  If you can keep your head together enough, try insulting the size of his ding-a-ling. I have thought of role-playing this with my husband, saying something like " oh that's a shame, didn't they have them in adult sizes?" Or maybe "you should have a doctor look at that."

                    Mocking laughter can be pretty emasculating if done properly.

                      Many years ago, one of the (female) coaches from my HS' girls track team evidently told her team that if anyone flashes them, "point and laugh".

                        I have actually done this. Got a very satisfying reaction

                                When a flasher streaked the Oscars way back in the 70s, host David Niven made a dry remark about people who aren't afraid to show their shortcomings to the world.
