A few quick thoughts before I list my usual "ViscountEric Approved/Just Interested/Here's a Conversation Piece" events:
1)The H.A.W.K.S. are sponsoring the "Battle in a Box" contest that I tried to emulate with my Samoa game run back at Fall-In! I have only selected the events that tickled my fancy, but it's a good showing of Game Masters and not everything is 15 mm of smaller.
2) Speaking about games that tickle my fancy, there's not many true Historical games that piqued my interest.
3) No Gnomes as of the initial PEL release (See comments below, this has been rectified). Kids' sports schedules MIGHT be calming down, so I may run something as a late submission/paying GM if this isn't corrected.
The whole list is available here.
