Promoting the study of military history through the art of tabletop miniature wargaming

Code of Conduct

The Historical Miniatures Gaming Society, Inc. (HMGS) is in the business of educating through gaming, which is – ultimately – having fun while learning about history.  After all, we wouldn’t be holding three conventions and promoting many outreach events if we didn’t all have a great time together!  And as every gamer knows, a thorough rulebook is the key to everyone having a good time, so here are our rules for a safe and fun HMGS.  If you have a question about a certain policy or guideline, be sure to read through all of our policies, but if that still doesn’t answer your question, email policy@hmgs.org.

Be Safe
  • Follow all show policies, venue rules, and staff directions
  • No running, jumping, throwing, or other unsafe shenanigans
  • Support each other in maintaining a safe environment
  • Report concerns to HMGS staff

Play Nice
  • Don’t harass anyone (see our Anti-Harassment Policy)
  • Respect everyone’s physical and social boundaries and personal property
  • No stealing, cheating, trolling, or griefing

Have Fun
  • Make a friend
  • Play some new games
  • Explore
  • Remember to eat, sleep, and shower

Everyone should observe common sense rules for behavior, personal interaction, courtesy, and respect.  Harassing or offensive behavior will not be tolerated.  HMGS, Inc. reserves the right to revoke, without refund, the Membership and badge of any participant not in compliance with this Code of Conduct and its Anti Harassment Policy.
