Latest updates will be posted on our website.
A full list of games on offer is on the Concrete Cow games page.
WHO'LL BE THERE?
Guests of Honour
Simon Rogers is the managing director and co-owner of Pelgrane Press Ltd, publishers of the Dying Earth RPG and GUMSHOE system. He also co-runs ProFantasy Software Ltd, makers of Campaign Cartographer 3 and its add-ons. His job consists primarily of asking other people to do things for him with varying degrees of success. He lives and works in London and still enjoys regular RPG sesssions.
Simon will be heading up a cabal of GUMSHOE GMs who'll be running various Gumshoe games all day.
Traders
The two traders from last time liked it so much, they're coming back for more!
- Leisure Games will be bringing all manner of RPGs and other sundries. Expect plenty of choice of all your favourite games.
- Reaper's Revenge will be along with oodles of sparkling polyhedra and all manner of things to put them in. Dice, dice, and more dice!
If you have something in particular you'd like to buy at Concrete Cow, either contact Leisure Games and/or Reaper's Revenge directly, or email us and we'll pass the message on.
Make sure you bring plenty of cash to give to the nice people with the shiny books and dice! Don't forget, you'll be doing your bit to spend the UK economy out of recession.
Gamers
Members of the Concrete Cowncil, MKRPG's convention gaming arm, will be in attendance to run all sorts of funky games. See the Concrete Cow games page for details.
And, of course, there's all the fantastic games you'll bring along and run. If you let us know what you're planning to run, we'll put it on the Concrete Cow games page.
