That might've had something to do with their larger-than-usual turnout, as more than 1,300 people -- 200 more than last year -- visited the science-fiction/fantasy/comic/gaming convention at the Holiday Inn Select on Democrat.

After three days of gaming, roleplaying, masquerading and, yes, partying, the con wrapped up Sunday afternoon.

  Pratchett himself, a bespectacled Englishman, pronounced the event successful.

"A friend of mine who'd been the guest of honor said, 'You've got to come,'" Pratchett said as he sat at a table and entertained several fans with tales of his books. "The convention itself was very well done; enterprising and hospitable place."
