GenCon UK

[Ben W Bell]

GenCon is the big convention in the States, we do have a smaller version over here in the UK. Is there going to be any representation, advertising or promotion at the event?

Mexal from the TML is running a T20 adventure at GenCon UK this year, and I'll be shipping her some copies of T20 Lite to have on hand also.

Cool! I know Mexal from my days on an online system (CIX) here in the UK many moons ago, though we've never met. Looks like a trip to GenCon UK may be in order after all.

So now I have to decide between attending ECTS (which work is paying for) and popping round the corner to Olympia for GenCon. I only really wanted to attend GenCon for the bring and buy stand to see if I could finish my Traveller collection.

Anyone who goes can they ask BITS if they have anything planned in the pipe. I really like the those LWBs, even though they need to commission Jessie to the interiors as well...

Any chance of mounting that adventure in the public domain after GenCons...

I do believe Jesse has just announced he is working on a large project for BITS so I'd presume they are planning something in the near future.

BITS has announced that they plan to demo Power Projection (Full Thrust for Traveller, in essence) at GenCon USA. I think they said it will be at GenCon UK as well. I'm not sure if they're selling it yet, but I sure hope they will be soon.

Mexal,
Are you running T20 though Raven or as a DOG? Either way, have you got a rough idea of which slot (or indeed slots!) it might run in?
I'm busy ordering Raven slot tickets and would prefer not to trade them in again at the con.

Paul (et al)

T20 is running as a DOG this year as none of the BITS events are running as official RPGA slots. Notwithstanding this, Mex and myself (not to mention others I don't know about) will be running T20 at various stages throughout the con. So just go along to the BITS stand and speak to Andy as he should know when the next T20 session is running.

The adventure that Mex is writing is looking VERY good

and I am working on one as well but a sick wife and kids up all night look to be putting paid to that getting finished in time, although i will just run it as a short (2hr) taster if it isn't finished in time).

C U there

Thanks for that Si. I'm looking forward to saying hi to the BITS guys again.

I'm also looking forward to trying to get my hands on a printed copy of T20 Lite. I started ordering one direct from QuikLink; book $6, postage and handling $15! At that point the Back button was hit pretty rapidly.

We'll try to get something sorted out so that Lite can be ordered here in the UK - maybe direct from me or something.

Sounds like a good plan. Apart from being a bit of a collector, a nice printed copy of T20 Lite is always handy to carry around.
