The venue from outside


As we reflect on how brilliant the coming summer will be this year, I thought it was timely to remind you to take a look at Furnace, tabletop roleplaying game convention set in a converted gaol house amongst the hills of Sheffield. It is almost very castle like.
We're running the convention over the weekend of October 20th/21st 2007.

Many familiar tentacles will be there and some new tendrils too. Our game line up so far includes:

Cool cover!

Just a couple of days left now. Would have loved to participate. Maybe next year with a BRP game too?

Have a great convention! And remember to come back and give us a rapport of how it went!

Cheers!
Sverre.

My Furnace photos are now up.

One or two are just a little bit blurry as I did catch some of the action at the tables.
Plus I didn't want to distract or alarm people with the flash going off.
