Has anyone ever been to North Star con in Sheffield? Thinking of checking it out this year.

Yes been quite a few times. Will be there this year. It's great fun. I'll actually be running that Judge Dredd game and another one too.

Ooooh! I shall consult with the master of all things weekend orientated and see what can be achieved.

If it helps, they do day tickets too as well as weekend tickets, so you can just go for the Saturday, for example, when I am running Dredd... 😆

We attended Saturday last year. Sorely wish I'd gone for the whole weekend.

Paging @dragongirl74.bsky.social who knows of all cons in Sheff :)

dragongirl74.bsky.social•49 days ago

I've been going for years now, you should definitely join us!

savagespiel.bsky.social•50 days ago

Yes, I've been a few times now. One of my favourite cons.

I am in Sheffield and I don't think I have heard of it. Is it at Garrision?

Hillsborough.

We put out lots of comms throughout the year, but we need to do better!

gmcarl.bsky.social•50 days ago

Thank you, Graham!

Yep

It’s a great weekend con, focussed on sci-fi rpg games - highly recommended! This is my write up of the last one.

It’s one I keep thinking of attending

squadronuk.bsky.social•50 days ago

I haven’t been to North Star specifically but - in my experience - all of the conventions at the Garrison Hotel are very, very good. Good (interesting) venue. Supremely well organised. Welcoming and friendly.

They are amongst the very best conventions in the country.

Definitely one I want to visit, along with the other Sheffield cons, I think there is a PbtA/FitD con there.

thermalsatsuma.bsky.social•50 days ago

Yes - Revelation at the end of Feb!

Great link, thanks Neil, I'll share on my Discord.

I am going for the 1st time, I shall be running another 2300AD game, and hopefully another Traveller game based in the 5FW where the travellers are Bounty Hunters all upset by the invasion!

stevetheg33k.bsky.social•34 days ago

That sounds great. I would love to be in the 5FW adventure. I'm currently motivating my Trav group to go to Northstar.

madbeardman.bsky.social•34 days ago

Nice, the adventure is already drafted, I need to tweak and run it by my normal group soonish. You are most welcome to come and play!

stevetheg33k.bsky.social•34 days ago

Not been yet. Want to go. Need to organise my Trav group and get us there.
