The Guardian have organised 'GameCamp' in London on Saturday 3rd May. It's an open floor, open discussion forum for people to come and talk about a wide range of various gaming activities and philosophies from computer games, tabletop games, RPGs, ARGs, Bord Games, etc.
The day is being broken down into a number of slots which people can book to run talks/discussins in the various rooms avallable. These talks will be interspersed by 15 minute commu al breaks plus lunch and drinks laid on by The Guardian, Sony and Nintendo.
A number of 'industry guests' will be at the event to bring their expertise, knowledge and ideas to the programme. I know James Wallis (ex-Hogshead Publishing) and myself have been invited along and will both be attending.
Anyway, there are 120 limited places (currently about 87 left I believe after it was announced this morning) so if you have an interest in any aspect of gaming (all gaming branches are being covered) please have a look at there website and come and join us...

On a total tangent, you might be interested to know that I'm setting up to run a game of Scales with friends. Might as well use all those translations . . .
:(
Enjoy Denmark!
Then need to think of something to talk about for 30 minutes. Maybe the developing trend in independent/narrative rpgs?

Just to clear things up, we have pre-invited a quorum of guests (including Angus himself) and the rest of the tickets are going on general release on Monday - we just wanted to let people know now, so that they can be ready to register if they're interested!
And why a Saturday? Why a bank holiday? Well, why not? You've got three days off, maybe you can spare one of them for us... and if you can't, then that's fine: hopefully if this one works, there will be more in the future.
Cheers

Quite looking forward to this, though it does appear a number of the usual London BarCamp crowd are going, which whilst they are all great people, hopefully won't mean the event isn't as diverse as I was hoping.
Definitely an event to not wear a geek t-shirt too, but rather a plainly obviously gaming one.
