Convulsion 98
24th to 26th July 1998
College Hall, Leicester University
Events start on Friday 6pm and go on until around midnight Sunday.
Latest update - Greg Stafford & MOB are confirmed,
saddly Sandy Petersen can't get the time off.
However Ken Rolston is now coming.
Exciting New Stuff - Robin Laws - author of Glorantha the Game will be our guest and will be demoing the new Gloranthan RPG.
Hi All
I know that quite a few of you have already signed up, but for those who haven't done so yet and want to come.
We must close residential bookings next Tuesday (14th April).
So if you want to come and want to take advantage of the residential offer you had better get in contact with me ASAP. After this date residential places will only be available through people dropping out (an extremely rare event).
Remember this is very good value (3 nights B&B for 50 pounds) plus the added advantage of only having to crawl back a few yards when the bar closes (and not having to worry about alcohol limits).
Cheers
Lewis
