This year’s Historicon was plagued by a very bad printed program but as usual the games were great and the players numerous. Paid attendance was on the order of 2500, not counting the dealers’ contingents and volunteers. There were 450 games listed in the program, not counting the various ancient tournaments and late entries.
There has been an increasing desire to recognize those who bring these great games to the conventions, the Game Masters. The awards started at Cold Wars, this year, expanded into several sets of awards: The GM Awards given by a panel of GMs who travel throughout the show and make on the spot awards for games that are well presented and where the gamers are obviously having a good time; The Gamer’s Choice Awards which are awarded by a vote of the participants - this is also coordinated by the GM Help desk; The HMGS EAST Best Event Award for best events, and finally, The Society of daisy Award for an outstandingly humorous wargame.
THE COURIER AT HISTORICON
Of the 450 games listed, The Courier sponsored 48 games in The Paradise Room and gave away over $1000 in prizes to the participants. Special thanks to MagWeb.com, Outland Games, TCS, Musket Miniatures, Wargames, Knuckleduster, Tommy Gunner 15, GAJO, Miriliton, On Military Matters, Meramic, RLBPS, and Miniature Service Center, all advertisers in these pages for their generous help. One noteworthy event occurred in a Desperado event that Dick Bryant was running. Dick uses a “dexterity check” for characters trying to accomplish something out of the ordinary - like jumping off a two story building. Two D10s are thrown for a percentage, the D10s are thrown again and the roll must be equal or less than the first roll for the character to accomplish the feat without being hurt. Well the player 12 year old Cory O’Connor managed to get one of the D10s to stand on one of its points (see photo). Always a soft touch, Dick did not insist that he accomplish the feat again to pass the dexterity check.
As usual, this report is assembled from inputs of many people: Mike Hillsgrove, Bob Giglio, Pat Condray, Otto Schmidt, Bob Beattie and Mike Reese.

Gamers Choice Award
I needn’t have worried, the Gamers came through and by the end of the con a horde of deserving gamers had been cited by the gamers. While I need to clean up some of the spellings and a few of the details, this list is complete. Just as precious are the reasons that gamers chose these games. What it comes down to is that given a method, the gamers will readily say “thank you”.

THE FIRST SOCIETY OF DAISY AWARD
By Otto Schmidt
The first “Society of Daisy Humor in Gaming Award” was awarded to Howard Whitehouse for his exemplary presentation of “The Fiendish Plot of Fu-Manchu” at Historicon 2002. The award, given by the Society to a person who does outstanding work in staging an outrageously humorous game, or producing game materials, is a gold medal with the society’s logo on it (shown below) hung from a pink ribbon, and a $50.00 cash prize. The Society hopes, in the future, to interest corporate sponsors and private individuals to contribute money or merchandise to expand the awards to other categories.
But the star of the show was Howard and his game which kept at least 20 gamers entertained in a mad riot of laughter and mayhem for several hours at the Historicon convention in the Lancaster Host - see the article on the game elsewhere in this issue. - EDAs with all good GM’s in all this Howard was able to largely let his under-GM (recruited on the spot or through the GM support Network list) run the show and he was able to supervise and drink beer. My kind of guy! But it was also many little things that Howard did as a GM that marked it out as a superior event. Once, he bustled past me with four empty pitchers and said “These boys are going to get dry real quick...” and he returned with cold water for them. That’s a really nice touch and shows a GM who views his players as– well— more than players. Howard’s assistant GM’s also did yeoman service and an excellent job in “keeping ahead of the gamers” and congratulations to Charles B. Stevens, Matthew Fritz, Nigel Clarke, Ross Maker, and Walt O’Hara.
I can’t say how excellent the final “production” of “the movie” would have (if anyone wrote it down) but I’m sure it had to be better than the crap the studious put out these days. Of course, with Hercule Poirot meeting a fiery death at the wheel of a chemical tank truck in the Louisiana Hobo camp, and Bertie Wooster impaling a Vampire Prince with his walking stick, it had to be better than what we pay $15 for at the movies today, and perhaps we should corral these guys and ship them to Hollywood – (No on second thought, Hollywood wouldn’t survive the encounter!)
It might have been nice to have all of the characters (well– those that survived anyway) gathered together in a “drawing room” or dining room where the brilliant English/ Inscrutable Oriental/ Hard-bitten American/ Fidgeting French/ detective explained the whole case but— maybe next time- it probably would have been anti-climactic.
The Society of Daisy is pleased to announce that it received several cash contributions towards future awards and that a fund has been started for this purpose. Persons wishing to make contributions to it should contact the list owner, given below.
THE SOCIETY OF DAISY AND THE AWARD
The Society of Daisy is a group of somewhat deranged war gamers, whose existence was first sparked on “The Net” and which is dedicated to the advancement, use, and popularization of whimsy and absurdity in the hobby. (Not that it isn’t pretty absurd already). It is for those who like to joke around, and not take the hobby, their games, their armies, and especially, themselves, too seriously. We are wargamers who like to have units like “The Camambert Cuirassiers (a rather cheesy unit if you ask me) or the Riseundshine Regiment, fighting over places like Valvoline, the Evelyn Wood, the Tottie Fields, and the Mire of D’Espond, and commanded by people like King Juan Carlos Ohyahyubetcha, Admiral Louis von Battenhatch, and King Ludwig, who always goes into battle followed by his pet cow, Daisy, who trots along beside him. Daisy, the creation of Bob Tesfro, has become the mascot, icon and paradigm of the group. It’s a world of bumbling monarchs, incompetent generals, lascivious countesses, and absurd scenarios right out of comic opera.
So Come to the Dark Side of the Farce! Now admit it! Isn’t this what you REALLY want out of gaming- confess- you really don’t care if your Neo-Senephrin Catatonics carried left handed smoke-shifters or one-armed flayrobs! You don’t care at all about real history, you want it as it should have been!- Not the history of academia or those boring textbooks you read as a kid, and not even of the Osprey books, but the history by C.B. Demille, P.T. Barnum, and the Marx Brothers- you don’t want Robert E.Lee, you want Gypsy Rose Lee!
Our Logo pretty much says it all- we are devoted to the whimsical side of things- Death is easy, Comedy is hard!
Got the picture? Does the idea of painting your Prussian Seven Years War miniatures in pink coats and mint green facings, or have Cleopatra’s war galleys for your refight of Actium rowed by bench upon bench of ranks upon ranks of nubile (and anatomically correct) virgins appeal to you? If so then perhaps the Society of Daisy is for you. There are no rules, no dues, no membership restrictions, no hierarchy, and no officers. We decided all that serious stuff was too much to handle. We’d also like to develop a secret handshake, wear funny hats to the conventions, and sponsor events, awards, and testimonials, to recognize those gamers who champion the cause of whimsy and humor in the hobby, before they are hauled away to an insane asylum. Perhaps we could even produce our own line of figures (the mind boggles!).
If you wish to join, the address is SOCDAISY-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. If you aren’t on the NET, but wish to get occasional blurbs from Daisy anyway, contact Otto Schmidt 1031 Stillwater Rd., Newton N.J. Sigurd@eclipse.net.
BE WARNED! If you are a sensitive sort who is easily offended, and a very serious wargamer, this is not the place for you.
