Just got back from another great Fall In, 2015. Not too many negatives to report! As an exhibitor, thanks to Scott Landis for keeping everything running smoothly in the Dealer Hall. As an attendee, thanks to Dan Murawski and all the other HMGS staff members for managing all the cats. Loved seeing all the games, and spending way too much money in the dealer hall and Wally's Basement. Thanks to the hard working GMs, and all the customers who bought stuff!

Agreed. A very big thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who made Fall In another successful convention.

What Daribuck said.
Plus, thanks to Santa Moe and the Wednesday Night Gamers for their hard work on the Toys for Tots campaign; I'm sure Santa Moe will pop in somewhere with the final totals. He said it was at least as good as last year, so he was pleased.

Thanks to the parents for bringing their kids so that they, too, could join in the fun and catch the wargaming bug. ('though I'm still miffed that I couldn't get into the "Assault on Santa's Village" game on Saturday morning. I dropped by and the moment I saw the Giant Minions in play and the LEGO dragon, my envy kicked up even a few more notches.)

Thanks to all the GameMasters who spent so much time, effort, skill, and cash on their set-ups. They all looked _mahvelous_, to quote Billy Crystal.

I agree with all that has been said. My wife and I had a great weekend. Thank you to all.

I particularly enjoyed the auction and charity raffle.

What historygamer said. Absolutely!

vicmagpa108 Nov 2015 10:44 p.m. PST

pleasant worthwhile venture. registration finally improved. had a great battle of five armies game!

Kensboro08 Nov 2015 11:09 p.m. PST

That terrain setup for the Battle of Five Armies was gorgeous.

I spent a fair amount of time watching the "Mad Max – Fury Road" game. It was crazy, and pure awesome. They really captured the feel/insanity of the movies, and the models were great!

I had a good time at the show, thanks to HMGS and everyone involved for their time and effort.

Oh yeah, and thanks to whoever donated the Dremel to the Toys for Tots Raffle; I'll put it to good use! :)

Had a great time at Fall In, thank you to all the people that put on the show.

Thanks to all of the HMGS volunteers and staff members for making it a great convention. Special thanks to Scott Landis in the dealer area for his support and direction.

See you all at Cold Wars!

Oddball09 Nov 2015 8:01 a.m. PST

Had a great time, seemed very well attended.

Garryowen Supporting Member of TMP09 Nov 2015 8:01 a.m. PST

It was fun. Thanks to everyone involved with putting it on.

This was the first convention in Lancaster since I can't remember when (I missed Fall In last year) that I didn't pack a snow shovel.

agree with all the above. SWMBO and I had a great time.

Cold Steel09 Nov 2015 9:41 a.m. PST

Ditto the above. This was my first HMGS con in many years. Spent so much time catching up with old friends, I only played 1 game, but still had a blast.

panzerCDR09 Nov 2015 10:06 a.m. PST

FIrst time at Fall In in over a decade. While the Host is not the greatest venue everything seemed to go rather well. Good work to all the event organizers and GMs. Thanks.

Poniatowski09 Nov 2015 1:49 p.m. PST

Thank you for the kind words everyone. The staff did indeed work very hard to make things work.

Registration went exceptionally well. I am kind of sad.. I do not think we broke 2000… but it was a very good show.

I want to thank everyone who came and especially 2 special volunteers who, every year seem to go unnoticed….

Paul Trani who is always there for me!! Heather too!! They make reg work!!!

But also to a new addition to the Fall-In! staff… Brenda Zartman. For the first time in 4 years… I got to actually break away and play some games. She was awesome!!! Dale was Johnny on the spot too!

All of the volunteers worked hard, so it is always hard to single anyone one or two out.

DF200909 Nov 2015 6:17 p.m. PST

Thank you, Dan!!! We do work hard! But likewise, you do too.. wish we could have had more time to talk and hang out but as they say… the show must go on… count me in for next time!

Hugs, -D.Fischer II-

snurl109 Nov 2015 9:55 p.m. PST

Me too. I had a blast as usual. I like helping with the Wally's Basement.

ACWBill10 Nov 2015 4:15 a.m. PST

We enjoyed the weekend and had a great time running our game Saturday night. I especially enjoyed sitting with some very close friends and sipping scotch late Saturday ( early Sunday really ) after my game was over.

John From DE10 Nov 2015 8:46 a.m. PST

This was a very nice meeting. I'm sorry I couldn't be there for all of it but I enjoyed what I could attend.
