All right. I'm negotiating, but I may actually be able to come this year. I can't get my better half to come to England with me, come heck or high dudgeon, but she has, in theory, agreed to let me go. Now I need to figure out what to bring with me, how to bring it, and maybe . . . what to run? Assuming you let suspicious Yanks do such a thing. ;) (Full Oldhammer Thrust and Pulp Oldhammer Alley are my go-to convention games.)

I am keen to come, though in all fairness I suspect I won't bring anything to play, rather just hang around for a few hours and look and point and make ooooh noises if that is OK?

To be fair that's all I did last year! Had a good mooch about and did my display cabinet ogling. Chit chatted and sunk a few beers in the pub in the evening until closing. Long chat with Tony Ackland and some game watching the following day. I just did Friday afternoon and Saturday morning and I think that gave me a decent taste (Friday being quieter). Looks like the Travelodge in Newark still has rooms!

But I am a bit shy/self conscious and have a feeling that some oldhammer people are not keen on me based on interactions elsewhere, plus I feel a bit like the new kid and worry about acceptance and all that sort of stuff.
Are these valid concerns, am I being paranoid?

Everyone I spoke to was lovely and friendly. Yep a lot of people know each other well from having played over the years, but despite not being the most gregarious of folk I didn't feel sidelined. Hoping I can make it this year and push a few minis around (although I think a lot of that organising happens on Facebook) as well as general atmosphere soaking. Hopefully the lords of chaos will let me finish the BOYL booking software for 2026... gahhh what a year so far!
