Is there an age limit for ReaperCon?

[Ratmaster2000]

Okay Hopefully this is not a stupid question, but is there an age limit to attend ReaperCon? I have a 3 and 8 year old, and not sure how they would fare for 3-4 days:) I don't mind paying $50 each and getting their swag bags  But I know other cons (AX,comicon, E3) have an age limit, so IF I can swing going, I just wanna know if I'll have to have someone watch the boys:)

I do not work for Reaper, nor do I represent them in any way, so I can't quote policy at you...

I was surprised to see children at several Reapercons. Note that there is no day care provided, and you're expected to wrangle your own sprogs, but I can't see anyone sayin' boo unless they became unruly or destructive... or perhaps insufficiently supervised. An eight year old might well have fun, painting figures, playing with them, perhaps even involving in a game.

Dunno about a three year old.

But I have seen more than one stroller on the convention floor.

1.  You must wear your badges at all times to be admitted to any convention function. Children under 10 do not require a badge, but cannot take classes, and may only participate in games with GM's permission and an attendant guardian.  Paint and Take events, when they occur, are open to attendees of all ages. Bear in mind that this is an event at which members of the general public are admitted, and we cannot be responsible for any new vocabulary children or adults may unfortunately acquire after exposure to our guests.

So from that Can I infer that the boys do not need to pay for 4 day or single passes?? Just the adults?

Correct. They are pretty much an extension of you while you are at the Con. Since I run games at the Con & I had a couple with a small child last year (younger then 3) & I really had no problem with having a little minion around & such.

If anything, they're likely to be taught to paint. 3 isnt too young. :p

I bring my daughter and do not have to pay for anything but the kids painting class she took. It was for 8+ and she was 6 last year but I wrote the instructor and showed the work she had done and got an OK to sign her up.

Your 3 and 8 year olds are welcome at the show and will not be charged any admission, provided proper supervision. Many attendees have precious and important models, lamps, tools, and personal items visible on their work areas, and we want no incidents involving tiny hands and damages or thefts (even the accidental "I picked it up because it was pretty" kind).

At the World Science Fiction Conventions the official name of that status is "Kid- in-Tow".  That is, the kids are welcome as long as you are keeping an eye on them all the time.

 

("In Tow" is a fuzzy concept, as I can recall being very pregnant and attempting to keep up with my little four-year-old gas molecule, who careened right into the arms of a startled but forgiving Terry Pratchett in one hallway)

I threw up on Hunter S. Thompson, once. Regrettably, I had no child to blame it on.

I've gawked and stared at Kevin Anderson. His assistant kept waving at me to come say hello, and he was just like "come say hello!" Then I had a panic attack and walked away.

 

@_@ yup.

Although, in all fairness, he threw up on me first.

Hey, I felt fine until he hurled. Sort of a chain reaction thing.

Remind me /never/ to throw up on you. Or around you. Or ... anywhere in your general vicinity, really.
