I'm not going to be able to make it to BOYL

A short post today, and rather a disappointing one for fairly obvious reasons.

Turns out I won't be able to go to the Foundry for the Oldhammer weekend this year - ironically, having scheduled a "Journey to the East" game set in the steppes, I will instead be heading out on a journey to the steppes of Mongolia myself... Hope you all have fun, I am gutted to miss it but will try and pack my gaming diary with other events to compensate for the loss. (So if anyone wants to invite me for a game before the summer to ease the pain of this loss, please do!)

I'm sorry to people who've started work for the game only to find out I won't be able to run this after all - I just found out my travel dates today, until now I had been pretty sure I was going to get up to Newark. Obviously if someone else wants to pick up the banner and run a orientally-infused game at BOYL, go for it.

It's a particular shame, as I had some figures for the game (kick-ass monks from the Monastery of the Dragon of the Midday Sun!) on the painting table, and was just starting to paint them when I got the e-mail through about my revised timetable and realised that all was in vain.
