Concrete Cow '08½
Milton Keynes RPG Club are holding another of their games days on 27 September 2008.
WHO?
We're Milton Keynes RPG Club. Find out more about us at http://www.mk-rpg.org.uk .
WHEN?
Saturday 27th September 2008. Doors open at 9.00am, first games start at 10.00am. We'll finish at 11.00pm.
(We'll be doing another on 14 March 2009 at the same times.)
WHAT?
Any roleplaying or board game. You want to play it, bring it along and run it. Previously we've had on offer Amber, Call of Cthulhu, Cold City, Dogs in the Vineyard, GURPS Banestorm, Gwenthia, HeroQuest, Hollow Earth Expedition, Mythic Russia, Primetime Adventures, Savage Worlds, Spycraft, Tekumel, Transhuman Space, True20, Vampire, and some more that I've forgotten. 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
Wood Ingham is an RPG author working closely with White Wolf. He's contributed to all of the World of Darkness games. He was one of the authors of Promethean and he's written for all its supplements. He's written a pair of books for Vampire: the Requiem set in Imperial Rome (Requiem for Rome and Fall of the Camarilla) and Clanbook Mekhet. He's writing for all the books in the forthcoming Hunter: the Vigil line. He's also written for the Black Seal, a Cthulhu fanzine, and many other things. Wood will be chained to a table and forced to run games of supernatural unpleasantnesses all day.
Hopefully, some designers from Cubicle 7 Entertainment will be able to attend as our Guests of Honour. More details once we've got everything sorted out and confirmed.
Traders
Cubicle 7 Entertainment will have a stall at Concrete Cow. Who knows what delightful things they'll be bringing along? More details as we get them, but you can expect plenty of Doctor Who, Victoriana, StarBlazer, SLA Industries, and Qin. There may also be some indie games and t-shirts on sale. Make sure you bring plenty of cash to give to the nice gentlemen with the shiny books.
Gamers
Some members of the Collective Endeavour, a coterie of UK Indie RPG designers, will be coming along too. That means you can expect all sorts of indie RPG goodness, if that's the sort of thing that floats your boat.
Shane Mclean, the official demo guy from Pinnacle Entertainment, the publishers of Savage Worlds, will be around to amaze you with Savage Worlds demos.
Some people from Department 7, the official demo team of Cubicle 7 Entertainment, will be along to delight you with sessions of their games.
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.
