¿Question #2289?
puffinge: Do people you work with know you go to boardgame conventions? Are they appalled?

Derang3d: I should hope so, they're my ride back.
Woelf: I generally don't go to game conventions, but even if I did, they would be unaware of it.

Spirit of 70: I don't, so no, they don't, but they wouldn't be surprised.
pwilz: Yes, but to most of them conventions are more about the people who dress up like Stormtroopers. They find this kind of appalling, and they don't buy my argument that fantasy football is just as lame (which I play, too.)
ttron64: no, and I don't and no
DasViktor: They can't even wrap their minds around the concept that board games can be fun instead of the hours of torture that Monopoly provided them.

dictator555: Yes. No. They're confused.
dmomo: I don't go to them. But if I did, no one would be suprised.
