[LongCon] Longcon 2024

[First Age]

Longcon 2024 Update
Sheffield, Garrison Hotel.

Dates are one of:
29-30 June (most likely)
06-07 July
17-18 August

Long form all weekend ttrpg mini-campaigns. The venue now requires a deposit, so I will need to be reasonably sure of sufficient attendance through an expression of interest.

Looking possible. For those thinking of coming, any issues with the possible dates?

Personally, I would have liked July , but it is difficult for con-organisers to herd every cat.

 

[Maddz]

With Continuum (28th-31st July) and WorldCon (8th-12th August), I think not. That's most of our annual leave gone. It's also a bit far for us what with travelling to Scotland.

 

[Whirlmeister]

The June date and the August date look fine to me.
The July date presents some issues beiong right at the end of a school term - but nothing which cant be overcome.

I'd do any of them but June or Augst would be my preference

 

[Vodkashok]

I do love a LongCon

I would look at the distance between Northstar and LongCon? Seems distant enough for my liking.

Very much up for it, and bringing my own unique brand of milkshake to the yard...

 

[First Age]

We're going to run with the last weekend in June. I've wanted to also create separation from Continuum at the end of July.

@Dom is just refreshing the registration forms and once he's done that we can launch.

It's happening. Start thinking of what you are going to bring, or what you want to play.

Are the LongCon dates carved in stone now?
My Conan crew work weekend shifts so I need to send dates for holiday bookings, etc. .

Well done on getting that domain!

I just do lots of sub domains with it, it is much easier!

Yes they are set with the venue. I have called them today and they are aware of the convention rate for 'longcon'.

Quite!!

 

[negromaestro]

And also herding a few cats, all able to arrive at same place and same time.

 

[Vodkashok]

I'm strongly leaning towards the new Powered by Brindlewood game, the Silt Verses. The Gow Child is even threatening to come along if I run the game!

 

[Dom]

I’m thinking running Stealer of Souls and the Black Sword using the Wordplay/Tripod hack of Stormbringer.

 

[First Age]

I'm thinking I might play. If I run a weekend game then I need to hone down current options.

Dragonbane - Frostbitten (Trudvang)
Infinity 2D20 - Wilderness of Mirrors
The One Ring 2e - Lost in the Lone Lands
A return to D&D4e

Plus others a bubbling.

Those options are so tempting, I now just wish to play too.

I'm going to read through the Mutant: Elysium campaign over the next week and figure out if its suitable for LongCon play. I have a feeling it may be a little long and need trimming for two days.

Here is the video from the Kickstarter which gives an intro to the setting and campaign:

It's a bit too long from my reading of it - you'd probably need to trim it.
