WRG 6th Ed. There was a planned WRG tournament but alas the organiser was unable to run it in the end . Again interest in a tournament is likely for 2007.contact Billy Carslaw on Wcarslaw@birmingham.businesslink.co.uk
Contagion RPG by Aegis Studios I ran a 6 player Contagion RPG game on the sunday. Contagion is a D20 modern horror RPG in which there is a war between heaven and hell being fought here on earth and the players take sides. In my game the players had to find out why contact had been lost with a Cryogenics laboratory and what was behind the tales of walking dead. Players had conflicting objectives. The game went well I feel. A zip file of the game notes and characters is here. A picture is available below.
Codemasters brought 6 PCs and Dungeons and Dragons Online to demonstrate.
Traders: Fan Boy 3, House of Barca, Stafford Games and gaming area sponsors Tritex-games.
Prizes provided by Wizards of the Coast and Aegis Studios.
