Our HMGS GOALS for HOT'98 are:

    #1. Recruit Origins ALTGAMERS to HMGS.
    #2 Deliver quality successful HMGS games to Origins and HOT.
    #3. Attract HMGS Gamers to Origins and HOT.

TIME TO BEGIN RECRUITING HMGS GM's and attendees for HOT'98:

#1 - DISCOUNTS FOR HMGS MEMBERS ATTENDING ORIGINS: HMGS Attendees can get a coupon from their chapter newsletter or HOT'98 for 10% off of the Origins PRE-REGISTRATION admission price. (Those pre-registering via fax or e-mail must provide a copy of the coupon) Information will be in HMGS Chapter Newsletters, and the ORIGINS Pre-Registration Program.

#2- HMGS EVENTS, HOT Attendees may:

    a. Play free in all HMGS EVENTS with *open spots -- "first come-first served." (90% of 110 historical games were *open in 1997)
    b. Electronically preregister for any HMGS event for a $1.25 ticket fee.
    c. Purchase an "HMGS Ribbon" [$5.00] for unlimited pre-registration in ALL Historical Events (this equates to free-gaming if you use the discount coupon).

#3- INCENTIVES FOR HMGS GAME MASTERS/Judges [several options]

    a. One Day: Judge one (4 /hr.) HMGS event for a One-Day ORIGINS badge.
    b. Multiple Day GM/judges - Judge 2 HMGS events (4 hour minimum each) and assist 2 hours at the HMGS table and receive a FREE four-day badge.*
    c. Free Accommodations are available for Showcase HMGS GameMasters; contact: Troy Boni

    *NOTE: These "HMGS GM" options are different (better) from the normal Andon GM compensation. Submit all GM data to: AndonTroy@AndonUnlimited.com (MUST Mention you are an HMGS GM and notify: Troy Boni

#4 -- TWO game rooms will be used for HMGS Events and priority for all table locations. This special consideration will affect what type of games are running around them and also visibility to the public to promote the HMGS events.
