I'm also a not so dodgy character, which I used as my #Grogmeet badge.

SECONDLY -
Do I pack my Hat and Waistcoat? I’d sort of decided to wear it to formal cons where people might not know me but leave them off for informal ones where I’m known.
But at #GROGMEET some people seemed surprised I wasn’t presenting and even tried to give me a flat cap they’d found,

At #Grogmeet the weekend before last, on Sunday in #Fanboy3 I picked up a couple of A5 fliers. (I forget what the second one was,)
One of them was for a game convention in Chester.

If you follow that link you’ll see the web-site is pretty bare bones and basic.

The front of a (slightly battered) box of Games Workshop Dungeon Floor plans (#2), from 1982.
The front of a (slightly battered) box of Games Workshop Dungeon Floor plans (#2), from 1982, with idiots guide instructions on what you might want to do with them.
Seamless integration (!) of shrubbery from Games Workshop Dungeon Floor plans (#2) into slightly naff hand drawn floor plans of a temple in the forest. Polishing a turd etc
Had much fun embellishing my questionable artistic ‘talents’ while making floor plans for #Grogmeet using lovely shrubbery from this joyful little house move loft discovery - unbelievably, from 1982 😳.

That gives me flashbacks to #Grogmeet. One of the Heroes made for the Golden Heroes game was:
The Spade
With his cosmic powered shovel.

If you were at #grogmeet you may have caught a glimpse of Shivershield! The new dark age fantasy skirmish game. Over Christmas I was filling the gaps in our range, and here are the first greens ready for moulding- the tuatha.

I’m sooo uprofessional. I’m writing by convention report ATM, didn’t keep a record of the exact game timeslots and Warhorn has now closed the event.
Can anyone remind me of the times of the games or point me to where I can find them?
Ta!

I think my festive period is over. Christmas, New Year and finally Gamemas (celebrated at #Grogmeet on Saturday and #Morpcon on Sunday). A calm walk with the dog, in post-storm conditions (wet and clear) and then back to work! 😍

Hardened gang of neir do wells, preparing for battle.
Lass O Gowrie pub, Manchester.
TTRPG savage worlds featuring 2000ad's Angel Gang.
Home. Dog on lap. Reflecting on #grogmeet. Thanks @amacdon6.bsky.social for twisting my arm to attend. Great games by @jaje7406.bsky.social, @dailydwarf.bsky.social, @ottomancer.bsky.social & Tall Tom.
Great to catch up with the old Grogs and meeting the Young Turks. Bodes well for the future.

I had to leave my hotel by 11am. My Morpcon game was 1pm. My plan: go to a coffee house at 11am to go on my iPad for a bit and then get lunch somewhere else.
I walked past Fanboy 3 by mistake and found this place just up the road that was great! Did both.

A floor plan of a ruined ancient Thracian temple, hand drawn on brown card with gusto (but little talent) by yours truly, with trees and shrubs and meeples. All on a table top with various RPG paraphernalia.

Back to 🏴 after another brilliant #Grogmeet 😊. Had some great players (and just enough ☠️ stamp action 😂) in my #DCC funnel, played Dee Sanction, SW Age of Rebellion, WFRP and Vaesen and had a blast at all of them. Thanks to the fantastic GMs and players. Is there a better con anywhere?

Mork Borg. I liked it. My first time. I get the joke.
The dungeon wasn’t for me being an hilarious piss take of early mega dungeons but the Referee and all us players were great with some side-splitting emergent humour.
“Sling your hook.”
It was another example of a…

I don’t mention people and places specifically in my blog. But got kicked out of my hotel at 11am. needing a place to sit, use my iPad, and grab some lunch Before my 1pm game.
Walked straight past Fanboy 3 and accidentally found a coffee/brunch bar I really enjoyed. Do I promote it?

Came back from #Grogmeet last night to avoid Sunday rail chaos. It’s a shame as I didn’t get to catch up with a lot of folks post-con. Still lovely to catch up with those I did.
Still, I played some excellent games of WFRP1e, Bushido and Everywhen. I also ran a QuestWorlds Glorantha game.

#grogmeet done.
Very appreciative of @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social & blythy for putting this all together.
Fantastic GMs @thermalsatsuma.bsky.social & @paulbaldowski.bsky.social and a bunch of wonderful players and folk to chat #ttrpg nonsense with over a pint or a brew.

#Grogmeet - Grogmeet is officially over but clever old @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social has made it possible for us to book into MORPCON - Manchester Occasional Role Playing - this afternoon. This effectively extends the con by a day but forces us to take a break this morning, resting & recovering. 1/2

Had a great day out in Manchester for #grogmeet 2026. Caught up with a bunch of folk, including the sagacious @ottomancer.bsky.social. My game of #GrimAndDangerous , went exceedingly well with my players engaging with my made up #oldhammer nonsense. Big thanks to @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social 😍

Only ONE!
Are yours going on WarHorn or are you going to busk it at the event. I might as well find out what you’ve been banging on about all these years - as I said to @paulbaldowski.bsky.social in the* Dee Sanction game at #Grogmeet yesterday.
* very good.

Evening session. Dungeonworld - The Forest of Doom. A TTRPG scenario based on an old Fighting fantasy book so you can hold the artwork from that book up to show what’s going on? Nice.
My Cleric got an heroic death.
Officially Grogmeet is over. Teething problems the venue but great.

On the way home from #Grogmeet. A fantastic couple of days of gaming. Lovely to see everyone. Would like a cuppa. Pub was loud and my voice feels like it's dropped an octave. Now I need to make sure I don't fall asleep on this tram @clownf1st.bsky.social so I don't end up at Manchester Airport. 😅
