Comrades! Belatedly coming to this list, let me answer a few questions asked (and a few not) about this freeform. Mythic Russia blends the historical and the...
I think you've just sold me on going to Continuum :). One piece of pedantry: ... No potatoes in 1381 Moscow. I thought about claiming they got there from ...
... Of course! Let no one say this is just gratuitous crowd-pleasing -- not that I'm above that -- because it was part of good Russian noblewoman's wear. I'll...
... Excellent! It is a fun and friendly con, and tends to have a good selection of freeforms. (And in a spirit of mutual back-scratching, let me commend...
The Games Those I was involved in either as author or player rocked, mightily. All were as good if not better than anything I've played in in prevoius years...
... We (Epic) didn't have to cancel anything but we did downsize stuff considerably when it became clear that many of the "usual suspects" wouldn't be present....

... It inspired me to write "Godzilla: the Game" for next year. I suspect it would be incredibly short, but I know we'd fill it to capacity. David...
JD once ran Godzilla versus the Pattern Monster at Ambercon. You can't have too many games with Godzilla in them, or chances to wear latex nurse costumes or...
Graham and I were having a conversation where I think I came up with something like "All Chavs must Die" or "Destroy all Chavs". - pitch: "It is Butlins on...
Hi guys, While I understand that gamers at Gencon don't want to be surrounded by "muggles", I have to say that I am getting a bit personally upset at all this...
It was supposed to be tongue in cheek.... And I understand that even Butlins itself can seem quite nice when you have young children. The percentage of ...
... What an extraordinary comment! Is there a particular reason that socialists (or roleplayers) should not be rude about Chavs... or Butlins for that matter?...
A while back someone from here sent me their notes on the small harry potter freeform they wrote. I mentioned it's existence in passing during a discussion...
Where? The Ramada Hotel, Bath Road, Heathrow. When? 26th to 29th May 2006 - the Late May Bank Holiday weekend. What time? 18:00 Friday night to 14:00 Monday....
MIke - thanks for your reply. I certainly agree with your last email. Malk - I meant it was rather unsocialist to call working class people in general "chavs"...
... Socialists shouldn't be rude about anybody on grounds of their origins or circumstances -- only on grounds of their behaviour, if it involves exploiting,...
... or ... Yep, fair points both. I hadn't realised that the chavs under discussion were merely working class. I'd assumed they were chavs! YHS - Malk....
You can all read my opinions about Gen-Con at Butlins from my log of last year - Gwaunquest.com. I would like to point out that Chav refers to a distinct...

Hi all, We had a pretty good GenCon -- we managed to run both of our games, although not as big as we'd initially planned. The Friday game Bassethwaite 5 was...
I generally had a very fine time. Fri Afternoon - EPIC - Bassetwaite 5 A serious game, apart from Lucya's silver dress and boots, we agreed she just needed the...
I din't hear the rumour about no Larps next year. Where did this rumour come from? I do hope it isn't true. Does anyone have any specific information about...
... While I wasn't present for the conversation that I think Sue is reporting, at least two of the LARP-running groups expressed opinions during the weekend...

Karim, Thanks very much for clarifying the situation! I can fully appreciate how soul-destroying it is to write a Larp then have it cancelled through lack of...
I'm with Lucya on the chav thing. Having just lost my job, I am what Thatcherites termed underclass now, and think I should look up to Chavs! :( I lived for...
