Smogcon: You are not prepared.

It is with great pleasure that the Smogcon organisers release a brochure and new website with full details about what we have in store for Smogcon 2014. Visit http://smogcon.org to view the information and download the brochure. Dates are February 21-23, 2014.

Smogcon is a unique gaming event held in the UK and modelled after fabled American gaming conventions like Templecon, Warmachine Weekend, and Lock N Load. This will be the 3rd year of the event and it has practically exploded with activities compared to the first two years. Any Warmachine/Hordes and Malifaux gamer within traveling distance of England should plan to come to this event. Also players interested in High Command, Dropzone Commander, and Bushido will have some activities to look forward to.

Full information is available in the brochure, but the key thing to know is that this is a 24 hour gaming party lasting 3 full days. It is not a single tournament, or even just tournaments. It is all that plus casual play (similar to Iron Arena), painting classes and painting competitions, open board and card gaming and RPG sessions. To briefly explain the concept, you pay one price to get a weekend long ticket and then you can participate in any of the activities on offer, all day and night long. The exception is for the competitive painters out there; we are offering you Sunday-only tickets if you’d like to come and just enter in the painting competition, of which there are many categories to consider.

What makes this all possible is hosting the event within a hotel that has sleeping rooms and event space, all in the same building. The advantages are that you can go up to your room at any time for a quick nap or to pack away your bags and then head back down to your next activity. You can eat and drink at the site and socialise with friends old and new without ever leaving the action. It is a new and awesome gaming experience in Europe.

Early bird tickets are on sale now and are lower than the normal ticket price for a limited time. Very affordable room rates are also locked in for you to take advantage of. We recommend you take a look and share the information with your friends. Please ask us any questions you may have. We cannot promise you will survive until Monday morning, but we can promise it will be worth it. Hope to see you there!
