The following table shows the format and timing of the convention.   

Notes:

1. The Malone Hotel includes breakfast with each night stayed.   Breakfast is served between 7am to 10am weekdays and 8am to 11am on weekends.   The restaurant for dinner opens at 5pm and closed at 10pm.   The bar has live music on Friday nights.
2. A set Lunch menu is included on Saturday and Sunday as part of the convention rate.  Choices will be made from a selection during the morning session.   Lunch is served between 1pm and 2pm.
3. Dinners on all nights and lunches on days other than Saturday and Sunday are ‘Pay as you Go’ and can be ordered at any point during the day/evening from reception.
4. Drinks are available during the convention from the bar.
5. There are many restaurants and shops around the hotel if you’d prefer to eat out or grab something quick.

Times

Note: These times are a guideline and may vary (slightly) due to travel or slacking (for the early morning games!) The slots are however ‘fixed’ and linked to the bookings of the game rooms. Your storyteller will be able to confirm their own start time should they wish to alter it.

Game Rooms

The convention games will be held in either dedicated conference rooms set aside for the convention, or in one of the larger hotel rooms earmarked as a possible ‘small game’ venue should the need arise.

The Game to Room assignments will be announced on Discord.

Regardless of which room you’re using, please be courteous and tidy up any mess before leaving the room.

Game Book

The list of the convention games will be built and published before the Gamebook Deadline.  The current list of available games can be found here.   If you wish to propose a game, please do not hesitate to contact us and we’ll add it to the list!

Drinks

Staff at the hotel are available to help with orders of drinks.   The hotel’s bar is also a great place to grab a drink.

Noise

As convention games tend to run late in the evenings, please be very aware of any noise you make either outside the rooms talking to players or the GM walking to/from the game rooms to your hotel rooms, or heading to the bar for drinks.  Please be considerate to all the hotel residents who may (probably considering how long some of our games last!) have already gone to bed!

Costumes

Costumes are welcome and even encouraged, but please be aware that weapons (replica or otherwise) are not permitted at all. Costume-masks that cover the face should not be worn outside of the game rooms.  Please avoid scaring the hotel staff and guests.

Hotel Information

General information pertaining to your stay can be found at The Malone Hotel‘s webpages.

Check-In and Check-Out

• You can check-in from 3pm on your day of arrival though the hotel staff may have the rooms prepared early.
• Checkout is by 11am on your day of departure though the hotel does offer a late checkout service at an extra cost but I believe 1pm is the latest as rooms need to be turned around.
• The convention rooms are more than big enough to store bags in during the game sessions prior to your departure although the hotel staff will happily store your bags as they have a dedicated cloak room.

Corkage

• Is currently £5 a bottle.
