My Historicon Events for 2021

 Historicon was of course rescheduled for mid November (10th - 14th) this year, at the Valley Forge Casino/Resort in Pennsylvania. This is the closest of all HMGS convention sites for me, and easy 3 hour drive. As of last week, masks are now required of all on site. Since I have been wearing a mask for many hours at a time most days for a year and a half now, to me this is a small imposition! This year, all of my games will be run under the HMGS Next Gen banner, with all games being held in the Maple room, and all on the same table. With the nearby site, I am even running a Sunday AM game!  Here's the lineup:
