Is there ever a chance of having another mini convention like I attended years ago in Baltimore? |

Well, it's not HMGS, but we're running a small 2-day regional con up in Havre de Grace, MD (NE of Baltimore in Harford County) in September, called BARRAGE. It's kind of like a mini convention. :) hawks-barrage.org

JMP, What are you referring to? Grimm |

Quite a while back the HMGS held a one day event at the Baltimore Convention Center which I was able to attend as a GM. It was a fun day with new faces. I thought it was a great way to draw in new gamers. And have a fun day |

That was the dry run for Historicon at the BCC that never happened, I believe. I think that ship has sailed. |

Thank you for the clarification. I wish there was a way to organize an event in Hagerstown to draw in local gamers. Thanks again |

Bowman is correct. It was a "test the waters" day. It was a very nice facility, but I remember walking in with a friend and he turned to me and said, "Gee, the parking is a long way from the building." |

JML, you might want to consider doing this yourself. (Isn't it fun when others suggest things that make a lot of work for you?) Lol. Start by looking at places that would be free or inexpensive to have a small get together. Consider issues as parking, lighting, tables and chairs, ease of moving in and out, and eating. Start small, maybe only 1 day with 30 or so people. Find a suitable venue and you're half way there. Pick the brains of the HAWKS. These guys have a lot of experience and know-how. |

#Bowman That ship didn't sail. It sank. Ditto on reaching out to HAWKS. They're NE of Baltimore, and Hagerstown is NW. Also think about reaching out to NOVAG novag.org/conventions.html They're out of the DC burbs. |

That ship didn't sail. It sank. Lol! |
