Ah the calm before the storm.

I know a lot of folks will be travelling down to #AthCon4 from early tomorrow.

No matter what part of the world you're coming from, make it down safely folks.

We look forward to seeing y'all!!

#AthCon4

Picture the scene, all the options at #AthCon4 has you thrown all your time management skills in the bin. You barely know what day it is let alone what hour and you find yourself short of precious hours but with a yearning deep in your soul to roll dice at table with your friends.

And kill them.

#AthCon4 has sooooooo many things to get excited about; RPGs, LARP, awesome vendors, creative workshops, mesmerising panels, talk, merch and so much more!

It's hard to pick out one thing....but

THE NEVER ENDING GORY table has me super-excited!

What is this? I hear you all ask.
Well attend I say..

#AthCon4 is the first time we are including LARP on the schedule and the Committee are really excited with this addition.

Good news is that you can join any LARP game without using up your game ticket allocation. So no excuses!

Sign up on the day but advance is better as allows GMs more prep.
:-)

The good news is that new to #AthCon4 we've 3 great games for those LARPers and LARP curious among us to choose from!

First up GM Sìofra during Session 2 has Nothing Beside Remains. In this one you take on the role of several generations of a forest tribe as you to build up your society!

GM Gus throws out The Dragons Hymbook using the Draw Steel system.

In the aftermath of a battle the Princess has gone missing along with the legendary Dragons Humbook!
Can you rescue the Princess, recover the tomb and save the world??

Draw Steel at the very end of #AthCon4 to find out!!

Deathbringer is like a fast(er) and furious(erer) version of 5e. With rules trimmed down to make combat move a bit quicker.

This game will have elements of horror so it's only really suitable for those of 18 years and older.

A great way to round off #AthCon4

Be sure to grab a seat... what's in the box!?
