It is with a warm afterglow and a mild sense of relief that BurritoCon6 has been and gone and by all accounts everyone involved had a great time. At over 70 participants it was the biggest BurritoCon yet - the first was a face to face event back in 2018 with about 20 attendees, and … Continue reading Bye bye BurritoCon6

Sigh. Last January we had the first Grogten in Tenby, a face to face event (was there any other kind back then?) hosted by the convivial raconteur @davepaters with great gaming, fantastic company and top-notch food and beer. You can read about that here. Wish we were here... As we moved through the various lockdowns … Continue reading Grogten 2021

If you're interested in getting onto some of the fantastic RPG sessions that'll be offered, here's what you … Continue reading BurritoCon6 is a thing…
Anyone who has attended previous Grogmeets knows what a special event it is and why it is considered by many Grognards to be the RPG event of the year. When this whole Covid thing started, I'm sure I wasn't alone in thinking Grogmeet would go ahead as a face to face event, seeing as it … Continue reading My Grogmeetish 2020
“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo."So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the … Continue reading The One Ring Roadtrip: Winterfilth 2020
There has been some confusion about signups, mostly caused by myself, so this post should clear things up. I'm keeping a master list of everyone who has said they want to attend, either as a player or GM - it's on a Google Sheet with lots of little ticks in different columns. In the past … Continue reading BurritoCon5 Goes Virtual Update
