Dragonmeet, London’s one day game convention, has been sold by Cubicle 7. The new management team consists of Chris Birch, founder of Modiphius Entertainment, and Jonathan Rowlands, who’s experience includes management, PR, and event production in the music and arts industries.
For this year’s Dragonmeet (December 13th), Chris and Jonathan are planning expanded hours, the addition of miniature wargames, more exhibitors, and the introduction of late night entertainment. Perhaps presaging an expansion to a true multi-day event, this year the show has also arranged for more overnight hotel options and will be organizing a meet-up for the next day.

Coming out in April for $49.99, the Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space Limited Edition Rulebook contains everything you need to get your Whovian adventures going. The book contains:
Hobbit Tales is a story-telling game based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth. In the game, the players take turns as a narrator using adventure cards as prompts. Meanwhile, the other players dispense hazard cards to derail the narrator’s adventure. Both sets of cards feature quotes and illustrations related to elements of Tolkien’s stories. Terrain icons limit when hazards can be played. And a feat die is used to determine the success of a played hazard.
The Hobbit Tales rule book also contains advice on using adventure cards to develop adventure hooks and simulate a journeys in Cubicle 7’s The One Ring roleplaying game.
