High in the mountains lies Castle Dread, home to the most vile and despicable creatures known to man. Yes, that’s right, Munchkins.

WHO WOULD LIVE IN A HOUSE LIKE THIS?
System: Chez Geek
Time: 18:00 – 19:15
GM: MIB 5
Players: 8
Live the high life in a house full of geeks, dorks, nerds, Trekkies, comic book fans, gamers and other miscreants, as you try to scrape together enough money for food, drink, and limited editions. Plus the endless search for boor and Nookie…
I’ll also have some comics, books, games and Dorkstock T-shirts on hand.
I never know how much stuff to bring, so fingers crossed…if you bring too much, it’s depressing because you think your stuff’s awful. If you bring too little, it’d depressing because it’s an opportunity lost. Yes, welcome to the lose/lose way that I think about stuff like this, gang! Grin. On the plus side, EVERYBODY who comes to the con should get a free Dork Tower comic book, and this will be the first con that’s got Issue 29 on sale (no spoilers, those of you who’ve read it!)
I’m in full-blown preparation mode until then, so LJ updates will most likely be few and far between. On the web site, comics will run Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday this week, and Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday next week.
Hope to see folks at Dragonmeet, London’s friendliest gaming convention, this Saturday!
