Haha!! These all sound amazing! Kudos! Wish I could attend.

This sounds great, I would be there, but i have a previous engagement. Wishing you guys success for your con!

Please bring all this up to Gamehole in October! (Madison, WI)

Piper909, I truly wish we could bring the lot up to you all!

We are very fortunate at HMGS-South to have a very active TSATF group. A table is reserved for the group for the entire convention and they see that each session has an appropriate game for each session. One problem with a "traveling road show" is this group of aficionados are all over the state. In fact one of the regulars who always puts on at least one game is in Jacksonville while SgtGuinness is down in South Florida. They all meet up each show (Recon and Hurricon) to put on this extravaganza. It is usually SgtGuinness who works out the slot assignments coordinating the whole effort. Having played in a number of the games I can say NEVER a bad or even mediocre game and each session is usually full during the pre-registration period they are that popular.

Yet another reason to attend an HMGS-South convention.

Marc, thank you for the kudos brother! We do love our TSATF here. Next year at Recon or HurriCon we're going to have a weekend of linked games, The Wind And The Lion, Tangier 1904 using "Admiral Of The Fleet" rules for the naval actions and "The Sword And The Flame" rules for the land actions.

We are truly blessed to have so many great GM's and gamers in Florida. We also get great support from outside of Florida for these cons, folks drive in and fly in to play and run games from All over the USA. Being in Orland and it's proximity to theme parks we get people coming in with families and make a week out it.

This sounds great. I am sorry I am not able to attend this year. Any TSATF aficionados down in the Naples area. We moved here last year and it would be great to connect with a gaming group.
