When 1e launched, it was all the rage at Historicon.

There's a reason not to buy.

What's wrong with Historicon. I thought it was one of the big events with a lot of emphasis on wargames and mini's?

Historicon is awesome; pursuing those things chased in the hunt for the new may not be.

And Mirth hates fun.

I would not describe the Moist in summer as 'fun'. I haven't been to the new venue which I am sure is an improvement, but I am in no hurry to travel back to Lancaster.


It is a large event, but I didn't find it particularly well run. The separation of the sales area into another building from the gaming was a PITA. I did enjoy the lectures offered, mainly because the lecture hall had better AC than the rest of the Moist.


Historicon was better than Origins because I didn't have to drive 13hrs to get there.

Being able to Google shit better than your clients is a legit career skill.

It's funny.  I think we've discussed the fact that we were both at the last HCon at the Host?  I stipulate to all your points and yet, for my own Shako-loving reasons -- would go back.

Your mention of the horrendous "take it or leave it" level of organization, though, does make me angry standing here and typing...

Come on, mirth. You totally missed the obvious "Solosnoreus" reference.  ;D
