Hi All,

just returned from Game 08, Manchester (where there were a lot more rpgs than last year).

Dragonmeet is in London in a few weeks - anyone up for a meeting potentially?

Or just a pint and a bit of a yack?

Cheers,
Malc

What numbers do you need Brette?

(I might be at Dragonmeet btw - though no funds as Xmas takes precedence!
Last con I went to was between 1984 and 1986 when I went to 2 at the Royal Horticultural Hall  :D (Games Day or Games Fair?)(I bought Traveller book 4 and a MM2 if memory serves)) (Trying to pin point the dates in my fading memory - I know I was still at school - 1 year a 6th former from the BGS games club cadged the school minibus to drive up there, and the other my mate Robbie and I braved public transport - my first time on an underground train, how very daring we were 8O  :D )


You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.

Having just googled 'games day' Royal Horticultural Hall I get the following hit on page 1 -

bugger, should have paid more attention!! (Though I'd have only given it away with all the rest of my stuff all those years ago) :roll:

Hi,

its on Saturday the 29th Nov.

Theres usually a varied selection of Traders (including our stall with 2nd hand rpgs).

Various games run (tho if you wish to play you had better book a spot very early as they run out fast).

Loads of Demos for new games.

I would describe it as a small, friendly convention with an emphasis on rpgs and boardgames - very few ccgs, if any.

Nowhere to sell I'm afraid - no Bring n Buy, and the Auction is purely for Charity.

last year they forgot about Licensing Hours and were serving beer at breakfast time  :D

Cheers,

I'll be coming along - mainly for some shopping and to meet some old friends for a beer or many.

Will House Atreides be able to take c/card payments on the day? or will I need to bring a big pile of cash (just in case you've got anything that catches my attention  :)  )

Hi,

yes indeed, I'll try to remember the CC machine!

However, cash might get more for your money  :D

Cheers,
