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
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
Here's the rundown of the games on offer at BurritoCon 5 so far with more to come (if you're looking for the GM sign up sheet it's here) Adventure: The Number of the BeastSystem: Tales from the LoopGM: Steven Blyth Boulder City, Nevada, 1986, and great excitement when palaeontologists from the University of Ohio get … Continue reading BurritoCon 5 Goes Virtual lineup
It'll probably come as no surprise that BurritoCon is going online. I'd really wanted to have a face to face event to get together with the amazing gamers who come along for RPG fun, while also supporting the excellent Fanboy 3 where we had planned to run the event (check out their new site, it's … Continue reading BurritoCon 5 Goes Virtual
It was no surprise to see Virtual Grogmeet at it's biggest and best yet this year, in part due to the cancellation of quite a few 'before coronavirus' cons, but mostly due to the great organisation of the hosts Dirk and Blythy and the great gamers who have come together to make this happen. Initially … Continue reading Virtual Grogmeet 2020
Ok, so I'm a bit late putting this out, but it's been one of those weeks. The weekend of 6-8 March saw the 4th outing of Convergence in Stockport and my 4th visit. As in previous years I only attended the Saturday, but I know many enjoy the full weekend experience. It's a great con … Continue reading Convergence 2020
