2008 Conventions

[lawrence.whitaker]

Continuum's a great convention. Guests this year are:

Greg Stafford
Jeff Richard
Sandy Petersen
Mark Galeotti
Angus Abranson

I'm waiting to hear from Charlie Krank, too.

There are LOTS for Glorantha/BRP/MRQ games being run over the course of the weekend, which is 1st to 4th August. The con has a long tradition of support RQ, HeroQuest and Chaosium's stable. Sandy is running his famed 'Evil High Priest' Cthulhu freeform and Greg will be running HeroQuest and Pendragon games.

If you want to book for Continuum, do so before Tuesday as the price increases from 1st April. At the moment the prices are:

Registration for Residential Members: £20 (£35 from 1st April)
3-Night room (Fri, Sat, Sun) booking: £105
Single Night room booking: £40 per night

All rooms are extremely comfortable and en-suite. Each room has bed linen and towels, plus telephone and internet access. The rooms are grouped into flats of 6 rooms, with a large, airy, well equipped kitchen - great for impromptu gaming.

If you intend to come along just on a Day Pass, these cost £18 each per day and can be bought on the day or in advance.

What else can Continuum offer?

Superb range of games. We'll have the preliminary timetable up soon.
Great bar with Real Ales
Seminars and guest presentations: Glorantha, HeroQuest, RuneQuest and BRP
Auction
Pub Quiz and Ice Breaker events to get everyone into the con spirit

Continuum's noted for its friendly and relatively relaxed atmosphere. If you've never been to a convention before, its a good place to start, and we have a small army of Mentors who are there specifically to help newcomers get the most out of the con.

And if there's a strong enough BRP Central presence, I dare say we could help facilitate a BRP Central seminar so you can all get to meet each other face to face.

I really do hope to see lots of you there. PM me if you have any specific questions.

I signed up for Continuum on Friday. My first time and looking forward to it. Just looking at the travel arrangements now and trying to see if I can rope in a marte or two.

Looking forward to Heroquest, CoC, BRP, RuneQuest etc and meeting some of the Legends.

Excellent, Merak (and always nice to see ol' Merak from Stormbringer 1st ed coming out of retirement...!)

Well, I'm going to miss the Continuum Early Bird Registration, so it'll be an expensive Con this year. Hopefully I'll sign up before the end of April.

Yes. Very fond
memories. My first rpg game, the first experiences as GM. Happy days.

Don't suppose I could get your signature on my copy of Elric by any chance?

Wahay!

I get a free drinks card for every sign-up, so I'll be able to afford to buy you a drink!

Look forward to meeting you there.
