Registration is now open for the 2025 Fall Assembly and here’s the rest of the info you need for the convention.
First, the big reminder: Blue Panther will be delivering games to the convention if you place the order ahead of time. Once you register for the convention, you get the discount code for your order.
Your order must be placed by 3 October for delivery to the convention.
Get registered and get your orders in, people!
What’s the location look like? We’re at the Cary VFW Post 7383, but we’re in the separate building out back. Here’s what it looks like.

And here’s the regular map.
We’ll have the check-in area on the left when you enter the building. It’ll look suspiciously like a small kitchen1. We can use the fridge to keep some things cold, but we’re not going to be cooking anything. We will have water on site.
Tables 1-4 are the smaller, longer tables, with Table 5 set up as a double-wide for larger games. We will have the leave one/take one table set up again for folks to ‘pay it forward’ with games they’d like to pass on to other wargamers. And yes, it’s a gimmick, but we’re totally bringing back the gumball machine from Origins.
Our official event schedule has a variety of genres, publishers, and scales to suit plenty of different tastes. But if there’s something else you want to play, there’s going to be free tables available for pickup gaming, just like every year. We even have a small-but-growing Armchair Dragoons wargame convention library we’ll be bringing along, as well.

As noted above, just because it’s not on the schedule doesn’t mean we won’t see the game hit the table, as we’ve had pickup games of Memoir ’44, and Fast Action Battles: Bulge, and Iron, Blood, Snow, and Mud, and Versailles 1919, and more over the past few years.
Convention hours are
12p-Midnight Friday 10 October
9a-Midnight Saturday 11 October
9a-5p Sunday 12 October
Badges are $65 for the weekend2
Our plan is to continue with our usual light munchies, some Dragoons swag, and whatever other prizes or giveaways we’re able to round up before the event.
There are a limited number of early-bird badges available at a discount, and don’t forget that Regimental Patron-level Patreon supporters get a free badge for all Armchair Dragoons-hosted events like this one.
As with last year, we do not have a hotel attached to the facility but you can find local hotels here.
Sticking with our usual schedule, The Fall Assembly is the weekend before the State Fair in North Carolina, so hotel availability shouldn’t be too bad.
See everyone in October for a great weekend of slinging dice!
