05/02/08 - May Day Update

Greetings Continuees,

May Day Bank Holiday dawns upon us and here's the latest from Continuum Central.

Membership List
This is now fully up to date, but please check out http://www.continuum.uk.net/members/ and let me know if your name's not on there and should be. We currently stand at 148 delegates, and though this will doubtlessly grow, do spread the word far and wide...!

Website
I know its been bare recently, especially on the freeforms and events front, but this is changing. Game details will be going up in the next week or so, now that we have the timetable more or less worked into a reasonable shape. If you have any ideas for a panel or seminar you'd like to see, drop me a note and we'll see what we can do to accommodate things.

Hearts in Glorantha
This new Glorantha fanzine, from that powerhouse of Oldham, Mr New Newport, will be making its debut at Continuum. I know Newt's working frantically on it as I write, but we're really looking forward to seeing a new Glorantha FZ out there.

Tentacles
Next week is Tentacles weekend. Most of the Continuum committee (me, Darran, Simon and Colin) will be there, and I know many, many Continuees will be too - some for the first time. So, to prepare those who haven't been before, all I can say is that you can expect the warmth and friendliness you get at Continuum at Tentacles too. There's a reason why we consider ourselves sister conventions, and its the same spirit that pervades both cons. And Tentacles has a castle. And cheaper beer. And... oh, you get the drift. Those who are going, you'll have a great time and I look forward to seeing you there.

I think that's about all, so have a great bank holiday weekend.

Loz

04/22/08 - Greg Stafford Confirmed!

I'm delighted to confirm that Greg will be joining us as a Guest of Honour. Its his intention to talk of Glorantha, Pendragon and the numerous projects he has in the pipeline as well as GM a game or too.

Its terrific to welcome such an esteemed and great friend of Continuum back to these shores. He's survived Terminal 5, y'know...

01/12/08 - Continuum 2008 opens its doors

We are now officially open for registration and delighted to be able to kick-off Continuum 2008 with with our new-look website and, of course, the new-look venue that is John Foster Hall.

As well as opening the doors for this year's con, we can announce that Sandy Petersen, one of Continuum's oldest friends, is attending this year and bringing his incomparable 'Evil High Priest' Cthulhu freeform. More details on that as we get nearer to August.

Its early days at the moment, so the website looks a little sparse, but we will be adding content as we go, so please bookmark the site and drop by regularly for updates. Chat and comment is welcome (and encouraged) over at The Tavern, and we look forward to seeing you there. The Yahoo mailing list continues to keep you informed of news and developments as they happen.

That's all for now, but on behalf of the Committee (Colin, Darran, Graham, Loz, Mike and Simon), welcome to Continuum 2008. It's going to be one helluva start to August!'
