I got the sense that there may be other posters in the Western New York area. Some of us aren't lucky enough to make it to a Comic-Con or GenCon, but they're holding a tabletop gaming convention in Buffalo next month and they're running a Dresden Files game on Saturday. There's only one slot left, just thought I'd throw it out there if someone wanted to give it a try.
there's a lot of D&D and Pathfinder events, and apparently they aren't doing a daily rate this year, so it would be $30 for the whole weekend.
