Had a wonderful time! Many thanks to the all the volunteers who worked to make it happen.

Hosted 4 games with friendly, enthusiastic players. Thanks for the laughs!

I think the Tabletop Events system is a hit. Fairly easy to navigate after a few minutes of clicking. I like that it shows me who has signed up for the game. Now I know who signs up but doesn't show up! But everyone who signed up, showed up to play, except for one guy who brought his ticket and said he decided to play with a friend in another game! Maybe the system helps keep players committed?

Only flaw in the Tabletop events was pre- printed badges. Well that was faster and great EXCEPT game times were wrong. Sorted it out Friday but wasn't so sure Saturday so looked for my game and went at the 9am the book had. But think later looking for next game realized the game I should have gone to was the afternoon game. Still had great time.

Only bad thing for us was today we figured out today that someone stole a box of minis off our flea market table yesterday.
Other than that, had a great time.

Sorry to hear that? What was taken? Let us know so we can keep an eye out for it.

First show I've been to in a while. Had a great time. Well done to everyone who worked to make it happen.

I noticed a lot of differences in the flea market from when I used to attend a few years back. Not all bad, but certainly some differences. Overall I was pleased with the convention and the flea market, both as a buyer and seller. My biggest gripe was trimming the time to two hour slots. I noticed the sessions were essentially full every single time slot and also very busy during the times you would expect. I sold a lot, made a lot, and found some outstanding stuff to buy. I also spent a few hundred dollars of that in the dealer hall, which interestingly I was less impressed with. It seemed a lot of folks I was used to seeing were not present and there were more than a few empty or sparse booths.

Cardinal, it was a 8x6x6 cardboard box stuffed full of poorly painted old school War zone minis. Alot of the minis were Cybertronic forces.

Pipes, would love to hear what changes your talking about in the Flea market area as it has been for years.

Two hour sessions. Used to be longer sessions. Friday start at 7pm. Used to be earlier in the day and no night sessions. Two hour break between morning and evening session. I actually liked that but it was different from the past. Everyone was supposed to clear out between sessions and they were very strict about this. Used to be a bit more flexible in that regards. These aren't complains really, just observations.

Many thanks to the HMGS convention staff for their timely assistance and the many courtesies that were extended to me, such as helping to find a cart, watch my tables and even offering to help load and unload my truck.

A great bunch of guys!

Sincerely,

Tumbleweed
