If you are interested in gaming, usually of the board-type variety, our community is open to you. You do not need to have experience, you do not need to own 20+ different sets of dice (they call to me), and you do not need to have played in any RPG to be a part of our community.

The gaming community is built from diversity, with people from all backgrounds contributing to this hobby we share. The IGA wouldn’t be where it is without the contributions of countless volunteers, many of whom are in the LGBTQ+ community.

I think it’s obvious to say that we are seeing an increase in intolerance and hate in the world. Between the US being what it is, the UK putting laws into place that negatively impact all of our sisters, and intolerance rearing its ugly head elsewhere, there is no room for silence.

Bit of lost and found from last night, they were all found in the bar area beside the main hall, the cards are from a game called Horrified, the d20 is a d20 but we have no idea what the token is from. They can be collected from the boardgames room.

Folks, unfortunately the convention centre parking is full, alternative options are park at the airport and take the Crowne Plaza's shuttle bus here or park at the Omni and make you way down from there. We're not saying this because of the marathon but there wasn't one yesterday and it was fine....

Don't forget the clocks go back tonight! Get your extra hours sleep! Also for those staying in the city centre and it's somehow escaped your attention, there is a marathon tomorrow! Traffic restrictions abound, so you'll need to research your route here before setting off!
