And so today, first time at Airecon, and running the RPG room downstairs, which was a curious thing compared to what I normally get up to at conventions, but for once, a pleasant change of pace... The day started well, a few new players and when I asked them what their favourite bits of TV/Film were, I got Spaceballs, Evil Dead, and Coronation Street...
This was going to be an interesting day...
They said they only had half an hour, so were pleasantly surprised two hours later they finally decided that they'd done enough by foiling a plan by Ken Barlow to raise the cast of years past to become an unstoppable army of the dead... Mike Baldwin ended up eating one of the players arms and the Rovers return was found to have a cellar with high powered rifles in it...
Told you I could run anything...
The rest of the day was good, I'd brought along as many games as I could fit in the bag...
All the dice...
A few hundred weight of Casino D6...
and of course, in case anyone wanted to discuss pens... Both Rolls...
Really good day, good atmosphere, plenty of people, a good bring and buy (mistakes were made), and a good board game library. It's a great venue with a lot of space, but at the speed it's growing, it'll be too big for the current venue by the next time around, and it's only going up, really do recommend it as one of the up and coming conventions.
I'm there tomorrow with a ton of RPGs to play and a ton more (needed a wheeled suitcase to hold them all) to go in the bring and buy, Me and Simon Burley are each going to take one side of the room and see how many people we can tear away from their boards...
Tomorrows offer will be to run anything at all, even if there isn't a roleplaying game of it, you can bring me your favourite board game, and I'll make an RPG out of it on the spot...
Challenge extended...
And this time, I'll get photos of the main hall as well as the trades and upper floors as well as the other rooms.
