Hmmm, GenCon would be nice, but since Origins is only a 4-6 hour drive
from
us, much cheaper in the long run.  WI is just a tad too far to drive on
limited vacation time.

I the pre-reg book, I noted tons of mini games, in fact HMGS seems to be
represented in quite some force this year, with several of my favorites,
including JRIII and Battlefront WWII quite numerous.

Of course, the whole family role-plays, so we've mostly signed up for
those
games, though my daughter and I managed to get signed up for some ship
battling, though its in Star Blazers.  I also got into (hopefully) a
Lightning Strike game.	Not sure how good the game is, but the
miniatures
are really nifty!
