Can't wait to see you all again at Historicon this year. Any chance you'll have the campaign book to preview?

No, right now all of our efforts are focused on Fantasy Triumph! Would love to have the campaign book ready, but it isn't ready yet.

I was just able to book a room at the Marriott for the hmgs group rate. This was fully booked for the past several months. Looks like there were some cancelations.
