Making Mayhem - The 2024 Edition: Mayhem Gaming Con ‘24 - Friday: The First Day

The question of whether or not a person should drive, by themselves, about six hours one way, for a game convention, is not really a subject that comes up in discussion too often.  Maybe it is something some people discuss more than others, but I would guess in the usual lives of most people, it never happens.   That being said, the last couple of years, that discussion arose in my mind, due to the origin of a new gaming convention in Lebanon, New Hampshire, called Mayhem.  Mayhem has been held in April, though thinking about it, May would better fit the name (Aprilhem anyone?).    When I heard about this convention last year, I decided to go, due to the fact that I had not been to an in person convention since Historicon 2019 in July of that year.  I had been prepared to attend Cold Wars 2020, the weekend of March 13th, but I did not know if the convention would cancel or not and did not want to get stuck with a hotel bill, and no reason to be in the hotel, so I canceled my game.  Col
