Actually conventions charge you for access to the scheduled games. But I
agree that the "diluting" of the trademark argument is specious. I think the
store that gave this opinion was just voicing an uninformed opinion.

Hmm. I don't buy that at all. There's no difference between
advertising for a free game and a pay game as regards any sort of
"trademark dilution". Not to mention conventions charge to play games,
and advertise that fact, all wthout any special permission or
affiliation.
