Grand Tribunal is a roleplaying, freeform and boardgame convention dedicated to the games and settings of '''Atlas Games'''  
  
This will be our tenth anniversary, and we especially welcome new gamers, as well as old faces and our loyal regulars. The convention has an informal social aspect on Friday night (free to anyone to join in), and then games playing from 10am to 10pm on Saturday and Sunday till 4pm.  
+
The convention is of special interest to fans of ''Ars Magica'', and also ''Unknown Armies'', ''Over the Edge'', ''Rune'' and other Atlas Games rpgs. We also have some freeform larp games, but a large ''Ars Magica'' themed game suitable for everyone, and some smaller freeforms (in fact the first 'Nordic style' larp run in the UK took place at Grand Tribunal in 2007).

[edit] About

Grand Tribunal is a roleplaying, freeform and boardgame convention dedicated to the games and settings of Atlas Games

The convention is of special interest to fans of Ars Magica, and also Unknown Armies, Over the Edge, Rune and other Atlas Games rpgs. We also have some freeform larp games, but a large Ars Magica themed game suitable for everyone, and some smaller freeforms (in fact the first 'Nordic style' larp run in the UK took place at Grand Tribunal in 2007).

To add a game to the programme just email CJ.

Grand Tribunal is a small, intimate and friendly event, and while it attracts a number of Ars Magica and RPG authors, it is very accessible to even casual gamers.

This is a wiki-based website; we encourage attendees to add your own content - find out how.

[edit] Practical information

  • Tickets - how much it costs (quick answer: very cheap) and what's included
  • Venue - directions, maps, facilities, accommodation, transport and disabled access
  • Programme - session times, early arrival meet & greet, restaurant and pub times
  • Games - the individual games being run, who is running them, and how to sign up to play
  • People - staff, attendees - introduce yourself
  • Ethos - policies, guidelines, collections of thoughts
  • Charity Raffle- the famous raffle and prizes you can win
  • Retail - while we don't have a retailer present this year you can advance order for deliver to the convention


[edit] Keep in touch

grandtribunalsubscribe@groups.io is our email list where we do most of the organising, and where you can talk directly to the organisers and attendees

  • Hashtag #gt25uk on Twitter is especially useful for minute-by-minute updates during the event itself
  • Find us on Facebook, like us and spread the word
  • Mobile devices such as smartphones should automatically see the mobile version of this website/wiki, but you can find out how to control which version you see

[edit] Archives and colleagues

Thanks to Pitt Murman for hosting the Grand Tribunal wiki from 2007-2012. From 2013, the site is hosted by Andrew Oakley.

Note that archives more than a year old, may be extremely terse, may be missing navigation, and definitely won't be editable. This is to mitigate against search bots and AI crawlers. The text should all be there, though.
