Historicon 2023 - What did you miss?

[@Blitz9H]

Little Wars TV introduced me to your channel. I’m hooked now. I like your cap Mark. Awesome para tribute.

[@artbagley1406]

My first HistoriCon was in 1998 in Lancaster, out a bit east of downtown (a golf country club?). Like most of these folks, I found it AMAZING!!! The creativity, the comradeship, the patience of gamers when it came to newbies (newbies were WELCOMED into so many games), and the entire spectrum of historical periods covered by the scenarios/rule sets. Made it back to L'caster in 2002 and 2006; in between, got to NashCon once in 2000. This video report was very welcome AND very well done! Thanks for posting!

Great video! Also, kudos to Carl, he is a great GM!

[@Carl-MGR]

Appreciate it!

[@joshuamcgary6808]

Great recap video! Sound like Historicon was a great time this year. Looking orward to your video on Mayhem Convention and hopefully you guys will be able to join us for year two!

[@TheRendar]

Great video and overview ! I had a excellent time myself at the convention. Looking forward to going again.

[@sparkey6746]

I got to play in Alex's Wednesday morning Fireball. Great Con, throughly enjoyed it.

[@msoong]

Thanks for the video Mark. Flattered to be in there. Really enjoyed our ToR game, as well as our chitchat about the hobby in general...

[@Nico-ig1mr]

Wish I could attend with my job! Haven’t been for a couple years

[@alans6752]

You all ran some fantastic looking games! Sorry I missed it. Can't wait to do Historicon again in the future.

[@vzeitsev8652]

Excellent recap of a very fun weekend of wargaming. Had a great time playing your AOH variant for Day 2 Gettysburg. Really enjoyed meeting you Mark and many of the Game Room crew, including Ben, Alex, Carl and Austin, who saved the day for the South at a most excellent game of Brandy Station run by LittleWarsTV Tom. Thanks again for the food tip on the spicy octopus! Best, Doug

[@MrElliptific]

Thanks for the report.

[@steveswan6343]

Played Fireball on Friday. The rules were delivered today!

[@gdguth1]

Great job on the channel and review! I’ll be very interested in the “convention ready” scenarios for Fireball Forward that were mentioned since I run Fireball a lot at West Coast conventions (Pacificon, Enfilade, others.)

[@andym.8886]

I enjoyed your Historicon video, and l enjoy your channel. You mentioned that you might have a video in the near future depicting a Hundred Years War battle, using the Test of Resolve rules . Please do. I really enjoyed the War of the Roses video using those rules. Is there a way to get a copy of the HYW rules variant that were used at the convention? Your and your team are doing a fantastic job with your new channel!

[@msoong]

Still in playlets...

[@andyshaw5378]

Awesome review guys 👍

[@hamsteronthepaintingtable6465]

thanks for sharing guys, looked good 🙂

[@davidfinch7407]

It was a great Historicon, I was only there on Thursday but I enjoyed it a lot. I regret I couldn't stay to see the game called "Eating Hitler", where Hitler in 1945 attempts to go back to 1939 for another try at it, but the time machine malfunctions and he and his cronies are sent to the Jurassic period, where players play dinos attempting to track down and eat the leadership of the Third Reich...also, I appreciate your correction of how to pronounce Lancaster. "Lan-caster" is how they pronounce the one in California. "Lanc-aster" is good old PA pronunciation.

[@stevenverdoliva6217]

Nice job.

[@Davidb7449]

I played in the First Day of Gettysburg game. You guys did an outstanding job. Is there a way I can get a copy of the Age of Lincoln Rules. I would love to try them out with our local club here in NC. Outstanding job running the game by Carl.

[@MarksGameRoom]

Yes! We'll be putting up a video on the rules very soon and we'll make them available for download.

[@christophermilne6545]

So jealous to see all the Fireball Forward playing at this!

[@tabletop.will.phillips]

Have heard interesting things a/b Square Bashing, and I'm always curious about gridded games. Would love to see that covered on the channel!

[@Anvilarm07]

Looks great!

[@larrysmith703]

Great report on the convention. Wish I could have made it but I do have to say that this is a much better report than some other clubs report on KZbin. You know the little Snicker TV guys😂

[@GreyhawkGrognard]

Had a terrific time at the con this year! I really need to get better about taking video of games rather than just pictures.

[@briansimmons1838]

Hey, thanks for sharing this, I hope to one day get to Historicon! Quick question…I thought I saw a brief snippet of a Vietnam game in 28mm…do you happen to have any info on it? Thanks and I enjoy the channel!!

[@saraschueler5467]

Nice job gents!

[@tiddleywinks121]

Great review!! I saw you guys at Historicon but I thought Marks Game Room was a hobby shop!

[@MarksGameRoom]

We're not a shop but Carl is for sale at the right price.

[@tiddleywinks121]

😂

[@bigsarge2085]

✌️

[@nategardoski]

You should do Gettysburg with fire and fury rules or any civil war game with those rules

[@crombieguyjb]

I unfortunately had two no show games, but made the best of it and got into one other.

[@stewartmillen7708]

What? No Amish food?

[@msoong]

I saw int he video Mark's game room ran an Ancient naval game. Completely missed that. What rules did you guys use?

[@Carl-MGR]

It’s called Greeks at Sea, written by Brian DeWitt. I will likely run some more of it.

[@brayandeutsch6577]

I will try to come next year I was going to go to GenCon this year but my wife said no absolutely not You're not allowed to spend $1,500 to go to Indiana but I think I can converge her to let me go to historican

[@karln524]

A good recap. Good looking games there. Question. Do you have to have a beard to be part of Marks Game Room?

[@joecolflesh7700]

How was the parking?

[@anathardayaldar]

What does it take to make a spin-off youtube channel? I wish you success. I hope this means there is increasing demand for this.

[@frankday8720]

Crimean war , yes please or Franco Prussia war!

[@vickyking3408]

6mm and 2mm is that not a board game and not a wargame???

[@dcb5176]

Let's see, approximately 12 minutes to cover a four day convention and more than half of the video is talking heads rather than games...and the game shots were too fragmentary to get a real feel for the game layout, etc. Too bad you didn't take any video of the collection of great looking games around the wall in the Heritage room. Not interested in what you ate.
