Continuum 2012

**Steff Worthington** · 2nd January 2012, 02:02 PM

Hi everyone, just a reminder that Continuum 2012 is booking up fast. The rate of bookings has outstripped last time and they are 2/3rds of the way through their expected delegate spaces. It's EASILY the best gaming convention in the UK (imho). RPG's, Boad Games, And Live action fun! We take over a uni campus for a weekend and turn it into a Geek Village! If you want to go then book now to avoid missing out.

Get your tickets and more info here! http://www.continuum.uk.net/new/

There are all sorts of games but it's predominantly Cthulhu, BRP, RuneQuest, and d100 systems but anything is welcome. If you plan to run a game or two then sign up and send your synopsis so the team (and your players) can plan the days...

oh, and Sandy Petersen (Cthulhudaddy) will be there.

Helen and I are already booked in!

Also I'll be hosting a podcasting panel at the convention too.

**GBSteve** · 2nd January 2012, 06:12 PM

We're going too.

I am only allowed two conventions this year, she who must not be named has said so

Going to the SFX Weekender in Wales, and I am going to Furnace again!

Cool if you go we should meet up, we won the tickets and I for one am looking forward to watching a certain Red Dwarfer DJing!

I too have already signed up for the full event. Last time I ran 1 x Cthulhu Rising, 2 x Realms of Cthulhu and 2 x Savage Worlds [Captain Scarlet].

This time I intend to run my new Captain Scarlet scenario, another Pulpy Realms game, plus some other gubbins yet to be decided

EDIT: As I have been asked, here are some more details on the three scenarios I am definitely going to run
cheers
Paul

28 Decisions Later [ Call Of Cthulhu ]
Two years and four months after the outbreak of the Rage Virus that infected the majority of Great Britain, many cities and towns were declared safe ( set up as armoured satellite refuges ), and a repopulation of the country began.

This evening though, the Infected have somehow infiltrated the town of Middleriver, and the Major Incident Plan is activated. An organised evacuation of the city is descending into chaos and unrest, and the containment of the Infected starts to crumble.

You are in charge of what happens next, do you seize this opportunity to pursue your personal ambitions, or aim for the greater good ?

Gold Command consists of :

Chief Constable Sylvia Bennett
Brigadier Arthur Lloyd-Hynes
Chief Medical Officer Patricia Fullerton
Chief Fire Officer Clarence Gerard
Council Chief Executive Jonathan Heron
Elected M.P. for Middleriver, Patrick Kale

I have now decided upon another scenario, something I have had in the works for quite a while now, a Steampunk Cthulhu scenario, using the Realms Of Cthulhu system. Using Chet Phillips' steampunk derivations of some rather famous Marvel/DC Heroes, I have concocted a ripping tale of pulpy daring-do! So, I will be running this on the Sunday morning:

**Pookie** · 30th April 2012, 06:55 PM

As much as I would like to attend, it is just too expensive to visit for a day.

**MikeM** · 30th April 2012, 09:41 PM

Free from my organising committee duties (having 'retired') I shall be there with a bag of Cthulhu and the usual drinks.

Other than my commitments to D101 I will be running The Milan Conference with Wim. This was supposed to happen back in 2010 but due to circumstances beyond my control we had to pull it.

The blurb is as follows:

"It's that time once more. The hotel room is booked, the plane tickets purchased and the taxi is waiting to take you to the airport. Ahead of you, at the 18th Mummification Congress, lies 4 days rubbing shoulders with the movers and shakers of modern Egyptology, plus as an added bonus the Shabti figures of Nephren-Ka will be on display. So grab your passport and let's go..."

Setting: CoC Modern
Players: 4-6

Rik-KM

PS: there is mo truth to the rumour I put that rollerskate at the top of the stairs.

**MikeM** · 15th May 2012, 10:10 PM

Can I just recommend Rik and Wim's game of Milan Conference. If you've never experienced a double header Keeper scenario, do yourself a favour and try and get into this game.
