It was my 'first' Hotlead and I quite enjoyed it.
My game went well on Saturday morning and there were lots of other well presented games throughout the day
The room did get a little noisy during Saturday so if the convention gets any bigger it could be an issue that will need looking at - Historicon now has fabric partitions up to reduce the noise levels.
I would also like to see player pre-registration for games and even convention pre-registartion if possible - people spent quite some time queuing to be able to sign up for games.
Otherwise great convention and I expect to be there in 2017 :-)
