After the fiasco of not getting to Crisis 2012 in Antwerp earlier this year, I’m relieved to say that there doesn’t seem
to be anything to stop me and my great chum from the Humberside Wargames Club,
Mike Brown, getting to the Kensington Town Hall tomorrow where the show is
taking place. No hurricanes, no
landslips, no floods (so far – I’ve just
checked), no new work project to keep me chained to a desk, and hopefully no
train hijacking on the way to the show tomorrow morning to delay me.
It’s been a few years since I last made it
to Dragonmeet. My memory is that it’s a cracking
show, with a great line up of speakers, participation games and traders. It’s a chance for me to pick up a few RPGs
which I’ve had my eye on for a while.
Officially, I’m excited.
I’ve still been working hard on the
Stosstruppen articles I mentioned before (yes, they’re almost finished, although
I’m still stuck on a couple of aspects), so making an evolution for the day
into a world of roleplaying is going to be a great tonic.
I’m looking forward to meeting up with some
old friends on the day, and if you’re going as well, I’ll hopefully catch you
there!
And I’ll hopefully also let you all have a
full report early next week.
Hello Sidney, I must say that I hadn't heard of this show before. Would the location be where the old Salute show was held?
ReplyDeleteLook forward to the report.
Pat.
It was indeed the venue for the old Salute show. Quite a bit smaller than Salute, and Olympia for that matter.
DeleteI'm missing the show this year unfortunately. Looking forward to seeing your report to see what I missed!
ReplyDeleteShame you couldn't make it Lee. I was thinking it'd be your sort of thing.
DeleteSounds like a good time, have a great trip out!
ReplyDeleteThanks Curt!
DeleteSurprise! I did not you were "one of those"
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the day
Incidentally, tomorow Sunday I'll play my first RPG game in literally DECADES, with some home-made rules around the Cthulu universe... looking forward to loose my sanity!!!
I am indeed "one of those". Hope you had fun being eaten by Cthulhu!
DeleteWell you could have come and said hello?
ReplyDeleteI did. I was watching for ages :) In the afternoon, about 2.30pm - the game with the floundering Ogre and the two guys playing. I wondered if you'd recognised me. Ah well, your game looked great - some cracking painting on the models.
DeleteYou must have been the slim chap with fair hair, glasses and I think grey T-shirt? Next time say hello, as I would love to talk to you about games and painting and stuff.
DeleteThe very same! I was a bit of a wally - I should just have said "hello", but I didn't like to interrupt as you were so busy! OK, next time, I shall definitely interrupt! It did look like a cracking game, though! I loved your painted Ogres!
