With UK Games Expo going ahead in a limited format and still having quite a few reservations about attending events, I got together with good friends @davepaters @OrlanthR and @TonyLayter for a weekend of gaming, boozing, eating and game spending... The weekend started for me on Thursday 29th, picked up by long time gaming pal … Continue reading Expo Gaming Weekend 2021
The last year has been awash with fantastic online RPG events, but both Grogmeet and Virtual Grogmeet stand out, not just for the quality and range of games on offer but also for the extras - the pub quiz and traditional Sunday morning celebrity interview. Here's how it went down for me this April. The … Continue reading Virtual Grogmeet
Spoiler alert: if you plan to play The Evils of Illmire, don’t read this! After defeating the cultists in the Temple of the Luminal star the PCs deal with the villagers in the temple who were infected with mindphage worms, forcibly extracting them when necessary. As before none of the villagers recall recent eventsWorried that Birella and … Continue reading The Evils of Illmire: Fearspawn Killers
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
Thanks to everyone who has registered to play at BurritoCon6 and of course to the GMs who have offered their time to run these brilliant games. I wanted to ensure most players would get onto one of the games they wanted and have been mostly successful; for the few that haven't I hope you will … Continue reading BurritoCon6 Game Allocation
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
What a list of fantastic games - I'd love to play in all of them! This list will be updated as new games are added, and once I know which ones are morning or afternoon I'll add those details in as well. Dates, times and how it's going to work are here. Dragon Warriors Cogs, … Continue reading The BurritoCon6 line-up
For the last week or two I've been pondering on whether to run a virtual BurritoCon early March (so it's not too close to Virtual Grogmeet) and a quick tweet showed me there is plenty of interest. 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
