- From the Boskone Progress Report:
-
- >Boskone Weapons Policy
- >
- >As is standard at most conventions, no weapon, or anything that looks like
- >a weapon, is allowed at Boskone at any time. This includes clubs,
- >quarterstaves, wizard's staves, lasers, squirt guns, toy zap guns, or
- >anything else that resembles a weapon. If you violate this rule you will be
- >asked to leave the convention.
-
- If banning wizard's staves is standard at most conventions it's news to me.
- Far as I can tell this is unique to Boskone. It's too bad, but not as bad
- as it might be, because Boskone, unlike most conventions, has a reputation
- among some fans, at least, as being boring.
