Maybe, but remember you're listening to people who've come out to buy boxes,
not looking to start up in a continuous game. At a general games convention
I'd expect to hand out flyers and give away/sell rulebooks rather than to
gather a significant number of new players all ready to start a PBM game.

Um, are you saying you were too busy buying boxes yourself :)? But it is very
helpful to run a stall that looks busy - there's nothing like the sight of
other players to draw newcomers in. At least, assuming they're a cheerful-
looking bunch...
