[Deptheads] As we grow...

And we have to be so very careful.
"Hardcore" gamer is probably not a good name for a "Kid's Club". Except for that, it is a great outline.

If we want to grow gamers, but not tempt day care, we could build on Roberts idea by creating a punch card where they would get a stamp/sticker/etc. for each event they participate in, with points for collecting one of each kind (CCG, RPG, boardgame, etc.).  That would give them exposure to a wide range of games and recognition for their efforts.  It could even become a mini-game (each event is 5 points, do 3 events in the same department is +15 points, do 1 event in each department is +30 points, do event with your parent or sibling +5 points, etc.).  Create cool names for different thresholds (50 point = dedicated gamer, 75 points = hardcore gamer, etc.) and you have recognition and achievement, prizes would be a bonus.  This way, there's not one room that tempts day care (and scares volunteers), but each department needs to try to provide events, then we create the punch card each con based on what each department was actually able to come up
 with.

Grist for the mill,
Ryan
