GAME MASTER EVENT REGISTRATION

IS NOW CLOSED!

The Program has gone to the printer! Important: Gamemasters (GMs), if you need to cancel or change a game contact the Events Manager at: events@historicon.org

Convention Theme: “Pike and Shot” – Seventeenth Century European Warfare, 1600-99

Gamemaster Policy: A primary GM will automatically receive free admission if the event was submitted for inclusion in the Preliminary Events List (assistant GMs do NOT receive free admission, only the primary GM if the game was in the PEL). Note: GM badges will be available at the Pre-Reg Desk at the convention.

Convention Regalia and Weapons: HMGS and the Convention Committee reserve the right to bar anyone from the convention if we determine that clothing or symbols, hereby known as regalia, worn are inappropriate for the convention. Regalia that depict racial, ethnic, religious, sexist, or otherwise distasteful messages shall be prohibited. Determination that a person or person(s) is or are wearing such shall be at the discretion of the Convention Committee. At the discretion of the Convention Committee, an Event Host may be allowed to tastefully display 'symbolic' uniform parts (i.e., German Wehrmacht caps or British Airborne Berets) from the opposing forces in the game. This is not, however, an endorsement of such practices.

Real or simulated weapons will not be permitted in the convention areas, nor will any item that in the Convention Committee's judgment can present a hazard to our guests. Active Duty Military, Law Enforcement, Security Police, and Emergency Services are exempt from this policy, while carrying weapons in the performance of their official duties.

Game Awards & Competitions for Gamemasters: As always we encourage people to put on their best game at the convention! There will be awards for game masters and we will need volunteers to help out at the Events/GM Help Desk. Check out the Awards and be "in the know" as to what's going on. In addition, Osprey Publishing is sponsoring/judging a competition for the Best Osprey Campaigns Series Game at the convention. This will be a competition between gamemasters for the best presentation of a battle at the convention from one of the currently published Osprey CAMPAIGNS series books, with great prizes awarded to winning GMs from their product line, including titles not yet available.

The HISTORICON 2010 games break down into the periods as follows:

This listing does not include tournaments or the Battleground and Hell of Stalingrad card based events that will run continuously throughout the convention.
