That's the negative way I took it. Not that I can afford it this year either. The fifth event is going to have to be in the central US. Is that what I'd want? No, but it's what's best for the company and the fanbase. Two east, two west, one central, no overseas.|

You really want to come to Florida, don't you? How about a Con in its 29th year?
Necronomicon in Tampa on October 22-24.
You have three on the West coast, and had one in New England. Stands to reason that the last one should be in the Southeastern area or the Midwest.
October in Central Florida is very nice! And one of the best beaches in the US is minutes away . . .
LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)

As long as the Sheep Don and his trusty Lambert can rise once more, I am okay with this.
VENGEANCE!
For the SouthEastern players, I'd like to reccomend a meet and greet at Carowinds... say... June 12: http://www.carowinds.com/public/visi...e=story&chip=7
or say... Atlanta... June 16-19: http://www.atlantafest.com/
Hey, just throwing the idea out there.
Sorry to hear that HeroCon "As We Know It" isn't happening this year, but I am all for spreading the love around for others. I will certainly do my best to attend either PAX West or the NorCal M&G (I'll be living in one of those two locations by the time of either event).
Even though I wouldn't be able to make it, I'd suggest GenCon or Dragon*Con, given the huge popularity of those two events. The exposure for our game could be tremendous there, especially if it's planned right!
(Of course, if you can sneak down to Phoenix ComicCon at the end of May, I'd certainly be thrilled beyond belief - I'll even bring brownies.)

I'm sad at the cancellation of HeroCon for this year, as my girlfriend and I consider it an anniversary of sorts, since we first met in person at the 2008 HeroCon. 
Maybe we can try to make the NorCal meet and greet, though.
Regardless, I understand the decision, and support those asking you to go to the Indy GenCon since everything else you're doing is on the coasts.
Added incentive: you stand a good chance of getting to meet Ascendant if you go there. I know War Witch is a fan!
Please try my custom mission arcs!

Another vote for Dragon*Con.

I vote for something in Texas. There's bound to be a Con in Dallas that would work. How about the Dallas Comic Con? http://www.scifiexpo.com/DCC/dallascomiccon.html I'm sure there will be at least a handful of superhero fans there. |

It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.

Though I personally would like to see a Meet and Greet at Wizard World since I could get to the Convention Center by public transportation, I do see the merit in a midwestern location. Maybe one at Wizard World could be something to consider for future Meet and Greets, though.

It saddens me as i read the posts suggesting they attend dragon-con that i realize that pax west and dragon-con are essentally the same dates, making that highly unlikely..
I am sad doctor.
If you're looking for a gaming convention on the east coast that would be eager to have you, might want to look at MAGFest. It's not the biggest con in the world but it's pretty stellar in terms of having a good time and getting things done.

My vote is for GenCon Indy!
How about the Hartford Convention Center in Hartford Connecticut?
Come on, CT deserves at least one Convention.

Another vote for Origins, in part because I'm about 2 hours driving time from there and also I'm already planning to go anyway, also there's a grass roots effort to plan something there.

If I can be totally selfish, I'd vote for Dragon*Con in Atlanta--it's just down the road from me. If you decide to go with Dragon*Con in Atlanta, let me know if you need any help with prep, planning, setup, or arrangements. Needless to say, if you do Dragon*Con, I'm there. If you do Chicago, I'll understand, but I'll probably try to make the NorCal one instead.
Shoot, if you do Dragon*Con, since I'd already planned on saving up for HeroCon, maybe I'll freak everyone out and do Dragon*Con AND NorCal.
(If I do, though, I want a "Roadie" badge.)
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)

PAX is on west & east coast, meet and greets once again on coastline. How about loving for us central states?? There is A-kon in Dallas, Texas, though I admit this year is short notice (beginning of June) but there is future years. Plus the largest military base in the US (Ft. Hood) is only 3 hours away. Give some loving to our troops

Agreed! Although I realize that some other regions need the love, I'm in Philly as well, so I hope for a Meet & Greet here someday.

Some love for those of us outside of the US would be really nice.
It's not a happy situation, and I don't think they made it lightly, but maybe it helps to know that they'd more than likely be out there if they could.
Ya know, the difference between dad not being at your birthday part because there was a car accident on the freeway and not being there because he was in the other room explaining to your mom why his secretary has her own unlabeled tape in the "Friday Night Camcorder Gallery".
Edit: That last part was too much stream of consciousness.
