Convulsion 4 will be held July 24-27 1998 at College Hall, Leicester
University, UK: that's the same venue as the first two Cons, which
recently underwent a major refurbishment. Our Guests of Honour are
to be Greg Stafford, Sandy Petersen and the Mighty MOB. The Con's
format will be as in previous years: a hard Gloranthan centre, with
a chewy coating of other Chaosium games and a nutty covering of any-
thing else people are interested in doing (specifically including
freeforms). We fully expect a glittering constellation of figures
from the very firmament of Gaming Heaven to attend (and probably
a few Old Gaming Farts we haven't the heart to expel as well).
Lewis Jardine is the man to contact: <jardine@rmcs.cranfield.ac.uk>.
Or, if snail-mails are your thing:
43 Windermere
Liden
Swindon
Wiltshire
SN3 6JZ
U.K.
Prices will almost certainly be as follows (all in UK pounds):
Membership: 20 quid
Non-residential: 10 quid extra
Accommodation: 20/36/50 quid for 1, 2 or 3 nights B&B
Freeform(s): 5-10 quid extra per game to cover costs
But don't send any money yet: wait till we get the forms out, or 'til
you hear from Lewis (the Money & Memberships man)! This is just FYI,
so you can start saving up for a treat in eight months' time.
On behalf of the committee, I'm sorry we haven't *quite* finished
producing the initial sign-up information for the Con -- please rest
assured that this is a scheduling hitch, not a disaster. The sign-up
forms will be mailed out with Tales #17 around Christmas, but if you
want to register your interest with Lewis ahead of that, you're very
welcome. (We're also likely to distribute sign-up and pre-convention
info over a website; all this new technology and we *still* can't
answer a simple question!).
Other committee members include the familiar faces of Colin Phillips,
David Scott, and Rick Meints. We have demoted has-beens David Hall
and Kevin Jacklin to mere Guest status in a vicious coup, but they'll
be attending anyway just to spite us (and to help produce "Reaching
Moon Megacorp's Life of Moonson", the featured 50-player freeform).
Appetite whetted? Let Lewis know!
