My Events for Fall-In! 2026 - November 6-8, 2026, Lancaster, Pennsylvania

I'm a bit disappointed that after a glorious Historicon full of gnome-on-gnome action, we're going silent on Gnome Wars for Fall-In!  Previous engagements and commitments by the bulk of the Stout Gnomes and we will not have the HMGS Next Gen footprint we normally do. 

But I will be coming down for Friday and Saturday, bringing one essential staple, while introducing an expanded version of a home game.  

"The Joust"  

System: To Cry a Joust (aka "The Gnome Joust")  Players: 25+

Time: Friday: 7pm   Duration 2 hours

The annual Fall-In Joust is here!  All are welcome!   Quick fun rules to complete the night!

It's the Joust.  Break out the cloths, return to the classic Gnome mounts, and make sure the double elimination is as fair as possible. 

"Christmas Counter-Attack"  

System: Fistful of Lead  Players: 8
Time:  Saturday: 2pm    Duration: 3 hours
All the holidays are encroaching on the town square for Christmas, and Christmas has organized a counterattack!  Gnomes!  Skeletons!  Snowbrawls! Evil Toys? Have the Gingerbread Men discarded their gumdrop buttons for a higher calling?  Children welcome!

The picture is of one of our Fistful of Lead "Snowbrawl" games, but things will simply grow bigger.  Four man teams (mostly), threats from all the holidays, and maybe, just maybe, the Hawaiians are behind it... or the Mormons. 

My true pet peeve for this con is that it appears that all games will take place at dedicated timeslots this year (9am, 2pm, and 7pm, regardless of the game's duration).  I did not realize that Fall-In! has literally fallen on such hard times that scheduling defaults to a one-day con at a Legion Hall.   My Fistful of Lead game needed to be moved by a whole hour, which might give me the motivation to leave a little earlier this year.  Stay tuned!
