Having just worked out that I can do a cut & paste from the nifty con schedule app, I’m going to do the programme items first. Fallen London – Recreating London in Games They’re taking a very wide stance on…

LonCon 3.1 – It Begins
My con schedule is stored on my phone, thanks to a handy little app, so doing a summary will involve a bit of back-and-forth. Let’s see how it goes, shall we? Climate Catastrophes This was done by Jonathan Cowie, who…

Holiday 2014 – Journey Near The Antipodes
