This one will be part of the replacement for Historicon known as "Cyber Wars".

It is a tradition of long-standing that game groups just show up at cons and use them as an excuse to play with their friends.  Let this be no exception?

Tentatively in. I may be driving to Virigina that day.


I actually don't really like games.

I'm going to drive there, set up my WiFi hotspot and a table, and pretend all this nonsense isn't happening.

Especially since Historicon was moved back to Lancaster, PA.

Apparently it moved to Facebook, which is far less accessible to me than Lancaster.

I did not enjoy the stay in Lancaster. I would like to see the new venue though. There were several moments when I doubted I'd make it out of the Host alive. It felt like being in the Overlook Hotel, but I doubt the Overlook was ever that dank and dreary.

The new venue was the only reason I really considered it this year. I hear it's better, but that's a low bar. There can't be a huge number of world-class conference facilities around Lancaster PA.




And yes, I'm more down with the suspender wearers than Augustus Roboticus.

The new venue is reportedly nice. However, a burning dumpster would be a step up from the Moist.
