Convention!

Greetings all.

As mentioned in the previous email, we have a SciFi and Fantasy Convention running from Friday to Sunday in Wentworth. The specific rooms are W/035E, W/035F, W/301, W/304, W/306 and W/307 (apologies for the mistake in the last email; W/305E and F are, in fact, nonexistent). We would love for as many people as possible to attend, especially Freshers and Newbies. If anyone has not yet paid for society membership, convention is also a great opportunity to do so.

We now have a timetable of exciting activities which are running, as well as information about a few of the games and who is running them.

Activities running

All the time

• Baron Munchausen (9-12pm) - Luke & Toph:

“Greetings, Ladies, Gentlemen and Others. You are cordially invited to an evening of tall tales of ADVENTURE! Naturally, you cannot be expected to recall all of your fine deeds, so one of the other guests shall request you regale us with only one of your stories. If some contradiction in one of your fellows tale, then feel free to raise it, so they might enlighten us, how, for example, they were dealing with the Nile having a drought at the time.”

Saturday

• Kiss of the Frog God (6 players, newbies  welcome, LotFP) - Thomas Irving
• Fiasco (3-5 players, 2-4pm, Fiasco) - William Thomas-Sam

The game's setting will be retrofuturist, with humans and mutants eking out a barbaric existence in a world long abandoned by its technological masters.

• BrikWars (1pm start, games at 3pm & 5pm) - Zoe
• Changeling LARP Newbie Event (6pm onwards, in W/301, W/304, W/306 and W/307):

'Changeling: the Lost' is an indoor LARP running once a month. It explores the largely forgotten darker side of fairytales and folklore with a modern, urban fantasy theme. No prior experience is needed, so please feel free to come along and try it out! Small snacks will be provided.

Sunday

• Impact LARP Newbie Event - 3pm (With an ‘Adventurer’s Mart’ beforehand in W/035E):

"The Fall and Rise of Impact Ref Team will be running an introductory adventure for new players on Sunday at 15:00. If you're new to LARP or just new to the system we'd love to meet you and have you along! The Impact Refs will be at the convention from 10:00 on Saturday to do chat to people and do character generation. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

We'll also be doing an "Adventurer's Mart" for new players, so if any of our old players have kit or weapons they'd be happy to lend out that would be great."

• Into Dark Places (5 players, newbies  welcome, D&D3.5//PF) - Thomas Irving
