The UK Cons thread

A welsh con would be welcomed.

Host it on Snowdon's peak and theme it around Fantasy.
Then watch loads of Cosplayers fall off 1 mile high cliffs/get lost and die.
Sounds like nothing could go wrong.

Sci-Fi Weekender is held in Pwllheli, but its very badly organised.

[Merrymaker_Mortalis]

It's also very hard to get to if you don't have access to a car/someone giving you a lift.

At least it's a pretty location.

Skyrim Larping?

[Merrymaker_Mortalis]

RPing a Skyrim quest on the Snowdonian mountside does sound fun...
in till the rain comes in out of the blue and daylight magically shortens, and we're a mile away from the nearest village stranged in the middle of a bog cold, wet and hungry.

Funny... Skyrim never featured being stranded on a mountain top. You would just YOLOhorse down the side of the peak, immune from all the discomforts of real-life mountain walking.

[Drecon]

Problem with Skyrim Larp would be that everyone would want to be the Dragonborn and other characters won't really matter all that much...

(although... Argonian cosplaying... )

[Keab42]

Either that or everybody would dress up as a guard with an arrow in their knee...

[Merrymaker_Mortalis]

Or people would start attacking anything that moves with a weapon...
Or try jumping down fairly-high height (instead of walkign round) and expecting to be able to recoup health after a little while...

[Geoff_B]

... or shouting...

[Merrymaker_Mortalis]

Picking rare wildflowers and eating them to practise alchemy.

Looting corpses of dead animals.

Time to Necro this thread.

I'm currently contemplating going to:

MCM London Comic Con - 23rd - 25th May (http://www.mcmcomiccon.com/london/)
9 Worlds - 8-10th August (https://nineworlds.co.uk/)

If we get a enough confirmed Runners for MCM, I've finally found the link to submit fan meetups so I can register an official runners gathering.

Possibly to either... depends on term dates/if I get an internship this summer.

[JayBlanc]

I'm going to strongly recommend against going to MCM London Expo, as they are flat refusing to detail what they are doing to prevent another dangerous crowd crush.

[Ptangmatik]

I would be interested in turning up to one of these, and disinterested in getting crushed.

I can probably arrange time off as needed, with enough advance notice.

Ah. Crowd control was better in October than it has been at previous events but it was still dodgy, I'm surprised they aren't prioritising that.

[Geoff_B]

I think MCM is a definite possibility for me this year.

[Ptangmatik]

Ooo. Just remembered that in August I would be hoping to go to Edinburgh, so probably not attending 9 worlds. MCM could well work then, I am tall enough to generally not have too much difficulty navigating crowds.

[Geoff_B]

As MCM is almost upon us are there any plans for an LRR meetup?

[Keab42]

I can't do the full weekend. Currently debating whether I do the Saturday or the Sunday.

[Ptangmatik]

'Fraid not for me, though I have been roped into EGX in September, so if anyone else is going, I'll definitly be there Saturday and Sunday. It'd be cool to hang out or something

[Geoff_B]

I'm only going on the Saturday.

[Ptangmatik]

Well wear a yellow rose in your buttonhole and I'll tie myself around an old oak tree.

or y'know, exchange phone numbers and say hi

[Geoff_B]

Ooh sorry I meant MCM on the saturday :/

[Ptangmatik]

What‽ Well now what am I going to do with this 40 foot oak tree?

[Geoff_B]

Tie yourself around it and take a selfie
