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.

  2. Yep, it's the second time I'll have been out there and I am enormously looking forward to it. Just wish my travel arrangements could have been a couple of days later.

  3. Well at least you're missing it for something worthwhile!

    I'm in the middle of painting loads of Hobgoblins so I'm happy to coordinate in your absence - posted on the forum too.

    1. You certainly have my blessing... Really great to hear someone else is going ahead with it, even if I'm sorry to be missing out!

  4. Sad to hear, but a trip to such a fascinating country sounds equally rewarding. As for gaming, I hope you are interested in the McDeath game I hope to put together before the end of the summer!!

    1. I'm definitely looking forward to the trip... let me know about your McDeath game whenever you have more info, sounds very exciting.
