Fall-In! 2026 is almost upon us, and I'm... somewhat thrilled. It's been a few years, since I made an appearance, and with most of my crew not going, I'm hoping to have some fun running two games, without having to support any others. There's still the flea market, the vendors, Hobby U, the War College, and of course, all the Toys for Tots fundraising, so I'll take a leisurely drive Friday morning, I've got a hotel room off-site for Friday night, and probably will get home before midnight Sunday.
I've paged through the event list at Tabletop Events and listed a good number of them. As always, these are the events that interest ME, and if I wasn't running a full weekend, might ponder registering for. Many of these events are run multiple times over the weekend. I'm only listing the one session to that I noticed first. I did my best to label Multiple Sessions, but use the search function to find events with multiple runings over the weekend!
The Stout Gnomes selections, as always, are listed in red.
