A couple years ago at one of the HMGS cons, to celebrate the 1000 convention game that the HAWKs had run, we ran a game called "The HAWKs 1000" which was a race game based on the GASLIGHT and Future Race rules sets. The race had four courses: boats, dog sleds, zeppelins, and cars; and players cycled through each race collecting points. At the end, whoever had the most points was declared the winner. We decided to bring the game back for this year's Historicon as part of the HAWKs 20th Anniversary celebration. This years race had only three courses: dog sleds and cars like before, and this year we added Martian hover-skiffs. I was selected to run the hover-skiff leg of the race, Done Hogge ran the car race, and Buck Surdu ran the dogsled race.

I missed my chance to get into this – came by hours early then got busy shopping and… it looked like it was going to be fun. |

Those hoverskiffs, unless I miss my guess, they are made from containers of that "Bubble Tape" style of bubble gum? |

BigNickR- You win the guessing prize! Mini bubble gum tape dispensers from the Dollar Tree store. |
