StuartBall had been making enquiries about Gen Con UK 2010 with Adrian Swartout, CEO of Gen Con LLC and was surprised to receive the following reply:
“Peter and I had a long discussion recently and determined we will not be looking to solicit a license for a Gen Con UK show – or any other country for that matter. We felt the experience and people brought together by the group working on this project were our “dream team” for the event and if they aren’t able to pull it off, it’s unlikely anyone else would be able to. Having a licensed event start up and then stop is more damaging to the brand than beneficial so that being said we’re putting the Gen Con UK show to rest.”
There is a thread mourning it’s loss here.

Today members of the UK roleplaying community paid their last respects to Les Hedges. Les, who passed away on the 16th, was a stalwart of the UK convention and Living campaign scene. I first met Les when I was on the Sarbreenar committee and he immediately struck me as the sort of person who would lighten up anyone’s day. Something that proved to be the case in character as well with his Forgotten Realms priest of Lathander (the god of light in that campaign world). Many a convention heard the echo of Les praising, in character, Lathander and it always brought a smile to my face.
Tonight I raise a glass in Les’ memory. Rest in peace my friend.
