Yep, I went to HISTORICON 2021 and here it is, my AAR/recap of the weekend. Spoilers: shockingly, completely unexpectedly, it was a success and I had a great time seeing everyone for the first time in a few years. Thanks for reading, thanks for wasting some time with me. LINK: link Regards, Walt

Nice photos Walt

Nice write up Walt. I must have missed the majority of your photos, unless this year there were fewer pictures you took of the games being played at the show.

A good read, and it really was a good show, congrats to all!

Matthew: I played more games and did less aimless rambling and taking pictures than usual. I'll add some more tonight. Walt

Good descriptions and lots of nice photos! Makes me want to leave my comfy home and drive halfway across the continent to attend the 2022 version of Historicon. In my humble opinion, "the saga of a town without 24 hour diners" would make a great topic for a game next year. Grelber

I don't even live in a cultural hot spot like Brooklyn or Chicago or Philly -- I live in a DC Suburb. YET, we can boast of several 24 hour dining choices within a short drive in most places. Harrumph. Odin, look away! What kind of town loses its diners, I ask you?

Nice report. Im still in the process of my own report. I had a great convention. Played in great games. HMGS pulled it off.

Great report, Walt. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Glad you had a good time.

That is a well written travelog. Will admit only played 1 game, think lack of rule knowledge is what scares me off others, at least if I stay in the linear warfare age I at least know how the actual mechanics works.
