Meet the Role Play Haven, Loncon & Dragonmeet

Sat Nov 14 2015

With episode 4, it is my great pleasure to introduce the listeners of The Rolistes Podcast to London's largest, and extremely friendly, gaming role playing club: Role Play Haven.

Garry and James are my guests for the first time, and probably not the last, to introduce us to the story, achievements and ongoing activities of, Role Play Haven, which is a not only a club but also a Community Interest Company (a non-profit organization).

We seize the opportunity to discuss also their own first steps in the world tabletop RPG, British gaming habits, the Loncon (72nd World Science Fiction Convention) and Dragonmeet.

See below for the details about Dragonmeet and other activities held at Role Play Haven.

As mentioned in my after credit message, as part of a potential crossover with an established French RPG podcast, I would be very keen to receive, from you all, questions you would have about roleplayers across the Channel. Do you want to find out what they play? Where they play? Do you any idea for obscure questions to investigate?
