StabCon South: Playin’ Cards and A-Shootin’ Dice
Last month, I had the great pleasure of attending StabCon South’s springtime event at the Jurys Inn in Southampton. What is StabCon South? The southern variant of StabCon, a regular, long-running event in Stockport (Manchester for the less geographically inclined). The focus is on board gaming. There’s no panels, no workshops, just good ol’ fashioned…

Wellies, Whovians, and Worbla: Your Guide to Sci-Fi Weekender 2018
What is Sci-Fi Weekender? Madness descends upon a quiet, seaside holiday park in northern Wales, just a short drive from Pwhelli and near Snowdonia. For three days (Thursday-Saturday, missing Sunday which I found odd for a ‘Weekender’ event but hey ho) all the main structures were taken over by stages, computer gaming stations, vendors, cosplayers…

LFCC & YALC 2016: A Comparative (and informal) Analysis
Let me just start out by saying this: I’m lucky. I’ve gotten to go to five different cons, some of them twice, in the last five years. I’ve been to the infamous Dragon Con, as well as up and coming cons like Treklanta, WHOlanta(formerly TimeGate), and CONjuration. I’ve had a great time at all of…

A Spider, A Robot, and A Dragon Walk Into A Bar…
[I realised that the play I saw a few weeks back would make great review-writing practice, hence the delay between viewing and posting.] Four lucky writers had the chance to see their concepts workshopped into brief plays in Telling Tales, the collection of vignettes put on by a fantastic cast at The Berry Theatre in Hedge…

Vikings and Chinatown, in Eastleigh!
Last night, The Point in Eastleigh, together with Tec Hub, hosted its first Board Game Café, and enjoyed healthy turn-out and no hiccups! I made a precarious journey there via an extremely delayed train and with my heavily laden bicycle serving as my packhorse. Male, female, young, old, and everything in between–this event proved the universal…
