I hope you’ve all recovered from the last post not being about Gen Con.I could have put Gen Con references in it as after all it’s about posting daily about RPGs in August which is when Gen Con happens but I decided to make it all about RPGaDay instead. Anyway,...

RPGaDay
Wait, this isn’t a Gen Con post! Correct. I wanted to bring your attention to a social media gaming goodness experience of a lifetime. Ok maybe not. It’s this – I’m taking part via my Twitter feed which is then syndicated to my Facebook Page. The idea is the brain...
Continue reading...Gen Con – My Itinerary (The Friday)
Before I continue with the perfect guide to stalking me at Gen Con I need to reflect back on my post for the Wednesday. One of the events that I planned to attend has been cancelled – Every School Should Have a Games Club. This made me sad as I was...

Gen Con – My Itinerary (The Thursday)
So almost 2 weeks ago (really?!) I posted about the Wednesday at Gen Con. It’s now 3 weeks til we fly out to Gen Con and my excitement level increases on a daily basis. Unfortunately it also means that I’m working harder and thus having less time to create content...

Building a Tabletop Games Convention
This post has changed format a couple of times in the past few weeks largely down to technical issues (not the fault of my new tablet I’m sure!). Anyway, I’ve had some feedback on my recent posts (more wanted) on what constitutes a tabletop games convention and the current position...

Charity fundraising…
Many many years ago (it was either 1991 or 1989, not sure) I took part in a 24 hour RPG event to raise money for Red Nose Day. Throughout the KoA days we had a modest but consistent charitable donation plan focussed around cancer charities such as MacMillan Cancer Support....

Tabletop Tech
So, I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 + Bluetooth keyboard that doubles as a hard case for it. The main reason for this sounds a bit silly and a bit of an extravagance but…I wanted a tablet which I could take to Gen Con with me so that I...

The Scottish Tabletop Games Convention Scene
Off the back of my post(s) about Conpulsion and indeed the multiple references to conventions throughout the blog of late I figured I should share my thoughts on “The Scottish Tabletop Games Convention Scene”. To do that I need to be clear about what I mean when I say Tabletop...

Gen Con 2014 – Event Booking
Given the experience of booking accommodation that we had for Gen Con I felt I should do one on the Event Booking. This was a multi step process – What To Do? The event catalogue is a monstrous spreadsheet (that could do with some data refinement but that’s me being...
