Is there one this year? I keep seeing the ad for the 2011 February convention in the front page banners, but surely this ad is not correct. Is someone still paying for an almost 8 years out of date ad? |

Of course there will be a "Williamsburg Muster" this year! It's scheduled February 15 – 17, 2019, at the Clarion Inn (former Holiday Inn) and everyone is going to be there! Hope to see you there!! |

Considering attending myself, it's a nice con! |

Cool. Thank you for the update. |

I'm going. Great con. Also the Mariners Museum is close and only a dollar to get in. |

Did I miss an announcement or something? What's the venue? |

The updated Williamsburg Muster convention website is here: link I've got my hotel reservations all set. Now I just have to register for the con and figure out what my son and I will be running. Lots of kid-friendly games suitable for grown-ups, too. Definitely the obligatory Panzer Kids free-for-all, but maybe a Pearl Harbor game using stripped down Wings of Glory rules and possibly a Dragon Rampant game with Rohirrim against orcs. The Williamsburg cons are always friendly, relaxed affairs with plenty of interesting games, a nice selection of dealers, and a weekend of fun with friends old and new. |

Freely admitting that I am internet Road Kill, I looked, but I couldn't find any events list for Scrum. |

Scrum seems to have an interesting slate of events, but I'm pretty much set on going to The Muster. The Muster isn't a big con, but I like the vibe. I like the venue. I like the crew. I like the drive, and the on-site restaurant makes a mean steak. Better than the Outback 2 doors down. I had it back to back both nights last October. Suffice to say, I am on the fence about a 2 hour drive to Fall In, but I'm all in even tho it's a 5 hour drive to Wm'burg from Baltimore. |

Really looking forward to the Muster this time around.
This will be the first time I bring my 10-yo daughter. She loves gaming, and we're going to bring my old Battlemasters set to run as an open game. If I see a lull when there are kids wandering around looking for a game, I'll break it out and get them playing. She will be able to run it after a couple of turns, with me looking over her shoulder. I'm hoping Danny Jackson will be there with his fantasy version of Wings of War; I saw him running it a couple of cons ago and it looks like the kids loved it. |

FYI, I believe that HMGS (East) passed along a reminder for The Muster to all on the HMGS mailing list. Well done, HMGS. Enjoy the games. |
