We've plenty of gaming space at Continuum, so there's still plenty of room for your games if you've not yet already registered your table top games.

All pre-registered game runners receive a free drink token as thanks. AND if you register your games before the show your name will go in the hat to win one of a limited number of Troll Ball board games or a Continuum polo top. We'll be drawing the winners at the opening ceremony.

So, get your game details to Mike Mason asap - email them to bingopajamas@gmailcom, in this format:

The Firefly Larp/freeform 'You Can't Take the Sky from Me...' was last ran at Tentacles 2007, a RPG convention in Germany.

Here are some photos of the event then. Photos by Nick Brooke.

I do love this photo. The Serenity crew worked together and became a bit of a powerhouse in the game.

Lt.Commander Truman 'Top-Notch' Tillman and the Opera Singer Serena Lang. Tillman was in charge of teh docks and Serena was in charge of...well if I told you I would have to kill you!

Here is Mister badger up to no good no doubt. Behind him is one of his henchmen Harvard 'The Eraser' Berol, renowned for his accounting skills!

Jonah Wilkes is a tourist from the core though he did seem to act suspicously.

A foil for Capt. Mal Reynolds, this independant Captain seems intent on getting a crew for himself. Yet it seems the crew help themselves to parts of his ship?

Sheriff Kruger was told by the Governor to catch the bomber of the Grande Olde Opera House and catch petty thieves; he failed at both. Perhaps distracted by Miss Dahlia Black the Registered Companion of Eavesdown Docks?

To All Continuum Members. The freeforms go live today at Noon.

The Games are...

1) Fall of the House of Malan - A Gloranthan Epic

2) You Can't Take the Sky from Me! - A Serenity Story

3) Kingsport: Terror in Store - A chilling tale of Cthulhu.

4) The Last Voyage of the Santa Anna - Sailors yarns and brine filled mystery.

5) Veteran's Day - Straight from the pages of the comic books.

Do not try signing up before then. There are are some simple rules.

1) You need to be a registered convention member in order to sign up for a

game. If your name is not on the list then your not getting in.

2) One registration per person per game only, if you have a problem contact me. Simon Bray

3)The Games Writers have final say over who plays in the game, they will be sending out digital versions of character packs and advising on costuming and props etc. They will be sending out a confirmation email to all players when you have signed up (this will not neccessarily be an immediate response) and again to confirm your character in the game prior to the convention.

4) All games have an additional charge that will be taken on the door, to cover the hire charges or Treroose House and help the GM's cover their costs. This is not negotiable. These charges are to be clarified, but will be around £2 for the smaller games and £6 for the larger two events.

Okay so here is the links for the games, with a simple questionnaire and/or character selector.
