Milton Keynes RPG Club are holding another of their games days on 19 March 2011. Doors open at 9.00am, first games start at 10.00am. We’ll finish at 11.00pm.
This one-day event will be held in the Stable Function Room behind the pub. This small venue will comfortably hold 25-30 people, so early Registration is recommended. The Club regrets that attendees under 16 years of age will not be admitted. Prices for this event will be £2.00 per session.
Rich Stokes has, in his own words, foolishly arranged a one day RPG convention in a pub in Southampton on Sat 10th of July. The venue is a pub called The Shooting Star (formerly Kolebka). More details of the venue can be found on the pub’s website (here)
It’s in Bevois Valley, about 12 minutes walk from St Deny’s station or 20 minutes from Southampton Central.
Entry is free! Doors open at 10am, there apparently will be free bacon sandwiches. First game at 11am til 3pm, second slot at 4pm til 8pm and the pub is open until something like 2am for people who want to stick around.
It’s a great and very friendly venue and a great opportunity for some gaming! The south coast is a bit devoid of gaming events during the summer, so hopefully this’ll do something to fill that void.
So come along, bring some games and enjoy some beers!*
* or coffee/juice if that’s your thing
A bit of shameless self-publicity here as I am one of those behind the newest convention on the UK circuit, Con-Quest.
We’re all ready to roll and can’t wait for you all to pour through the doors come 10am tomorrow morning. If you’re in the area and haven’t already decided to come, why not pop in. Con-Quest is a family-friendly convention and we have a massive array of games and traders so we hope to see you there.
Sean Patrick Fannon, the Marketing and Communications Manager for DriveThruRPG has announced the DriveThruRPG Convention Support Program where conventions can get support and specific prizes to help the convention. The full announcement is below:
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.
AmberCon UK ’10 will be the 9th-11th July 2010 and we are returning to the
Harben House, Newport Pagnell for the second year.
