HCon PEL: The deadline for submitting
games to HMGS for HCon is 10 April. A buddy attended
the HMGS Board meeting. He reports that there wil
be free parking (validated) in a garage near the convention center for those
not staying at the site hotel. And you can drop you gaming material off with
folks “on the curb” and then park your car. There won’t be club rooms
this year. They are planning on putting GMs from clubs in the same area
or on adjacent tables. NOVAG will not have a designated area this year,
but maybe next year. So let’s get those games submitted.
