Britcon 2005 is a get together for UK RPGnetters In Birmingham on Saturday 6th August, 2005. This page is a resource for setting out details of the event and helping with collaborative planning.
(I realise it's a bit on the edge of the stated purpose of the wiki. If people disagree with the inclusion of pages of this type, please say so in the attached discussion area. I hope, though, that it can stay up till the event.)

About the event
Time, venue, etc.
Programme
Reposted from JonA
1300 - Doors open officially (although I will be there from midday-ish setting the room up - anyone want to come and help you're more than welcome).
1300 - 1400: Meet and greet.
1400 - 1700: Gaming slot 1
1700 - 1800: Interval period (food can be ordered).
1800 - 2100: Gaming slot 2
2100 - 2200: Interval period (food unavailable at this time for order).
2200 - 0100: Gaming slot 3.
0100 - Close: Farewells, hugs, and the exchange of telephone numbers (except for me who will tidy the room up).
All times approx. I've shoved in the intervals to allow for over-running or even early starting. The three hour slots are the core period but if you want it to be four hours for your session then just ask to start it half an hour earlier and end half an hour later.
What games are running?
If you're providing a game, please give it a paragraph below. Useful information to include is whether it's an offer to run or a definite go, and when it's running if that's known (please arrange these in the right time order).

- SLA Industries - JonA
A game of dark violence in an nightmarish urban city known as Mort. A place that for 900 years as been building higher and higher and pushing the older parts of the city into decay and down under ground. From the gleaming skyscrapers of Mort Central, through the high class residences of Uptown, down through the uniformly grey and depressive surburbia. Beyond the world of Downtown exists where all of societies dregs eek out an existance of desperation. Amid a world of horror, darkness, crime and violence. But under the streets of Mort lurks a darkness. From gangs of youths roaming the walkways and collapsed streets and buildings to terrorist cells planning the fall of SLA from the sewer hideouts. Not to mention the horrific mutated creatures from the Cannibal Sectors who penetrate the lowest levels of the city to feed. Monstrous creatures of a dark foul nature - Carriens, Cannibal Pigs and other foul creatures - some native to Mort. Others from worlds far beyond.
The players are "Operatives" (piece workers) for SLA Industries. A Big Brother-esque megacorporation that controls everything. Or at least that's what they tell everyone. Mr Slayer runs the show and has done for 900 years. He tells you he will provide for you if you serve him well. Your job is to serve and protect SLA Industries by rooting out traitors, subversives, criminals and those that Slayer wants silenced. Don't ask questions though. You wouldn't understand the answer anyway. Just do your job, do it well and you will be rewarded. Fail and you will disappear.
And of course your aim is to make money and acheive fame - by appearing on SLA's 1001 TV channels, to opiate of the whole society of Mort and Slayer's World of Progress (the universe).
