After 3 nights & 2 full days that had a whopping 107 gaming tables (holding somewhere in the region of 550 gamers!) #AthCon3 is done. Once again, we've been wholeheartedly supported by our beautiful gaming community. Team #AthCon3 thanks you all from the bottom of our hearts. Tired/happy now.

First time GM at the Con Sean is running a Mausritter game! In Mausritter (and no, I don't know how to pronounce it!!) you all play cute little miceses, taking up your cute little swords and getting in heroic, if somewhat miniature, adventures! You chance to play your very own mighty mouse!

With time ticking away we'd better hurry & get the last few game tweets out! Next up a GM who boasts a perfect attendance record at AthCons! GM Shane is running two sessions of the Household RPG system where the players become the little folks (fairies, sprites etc) & have free run of the gaff!

Next up we'll take a peek at GM Mark's ever so fancy game. You can keep your tatty old fold out battlemaps! GM Mark has evolved beyond sure primitive tools & instead uses an interactive projector table top. 'Where is your interactive projector table top' you will hear him cry all during #AthCon3!

There's a lot of excitement around the games and activities, but there should be just as much about the talent that will be in the vendor hall 😍

At AthCon2 GM Mike ran a few tables of the pirates adventure game Crimson Cutlass. His games proved ridiculously popular. So much so that legend has it that in one session 10 pirates sat around the table! Somehow the numbers didn't scare GM Mike off & at #AthCon3 the adventure continues!

Next game up we'll have a look-see at returning GM Emmett C take on the City Of Mists game system! Mists is based in a modern world where players are the Mythoi; reincarnations of Gods, monsters & heroes from legend. And you use your powers to seek out evil (or good 😉) and destroy it!

GM Ciaran, (who you may know as the brains part of the Dopes & Dragons podcast duo!) makes it along to his first ever AthCon and we are delighted to have him along! The Sablewood Messenger is one of two games he's running over the weekend and this one is the excellent Daggerheart system.

Sitting in a cozy tavern, surrounded by mates, the first round of drinks (fizzy orange all round!) has just been delivered. Picking up the glass you lick your lips savoring the moment. When a guy kicks in the door screaming on and on about his kids being taken by some monster. Urrgh. Civilians.

You know that dragons are overrated right? Like who do they think that they are fooling with all that firey breath. And claw attacks. And spells. And biting people? And legendary resistance? Like seriously, they're not all that great. Our next game gives you a chance to prove out my theory!
