Although this may seem strange to some, this way of booking has proved to be the fairest so far to ensure that everybody who wants to play gets a reasonable chance of places in the games they really want to play in.

Good day everyone.
Just a quick note to say that the Continuum 2012 Freeform web pages are now active, with five confirmed games and several more in the bidding.
Please register your interest in playing a freeform at Continuum 2012.
If you do not register you will not be informed when the freeforms are opened for player signup.
You don't have to pay for Continuum 2012 membership to register your interest, so why not register today.
However, you will not be able to sign up for any game until you have paid for Continuum 2012 membership.
The first games will be open for player sign up at the end of March so make sure you have paid your fees before then or you may miss out on the game you really want to play.
Let the games commence!
Best of The Wurst
by Martin Jones, Nickey Barnard, Mike Snowden, Julia
1942: Occupied France
In Quimper Castle Hotel, overlooking the sleepy town of Quimper, a very important event is being planned. To demonstrate that German/Francorelations are, in fact, excellent, Colonel Kronenburg has organised a sausage tasting competition - the best German wurst against sausages from across Europe! Is there any doubt who will win? There are even rumours of a visiting Very Important Person.
But in a hotel famed for its painting of St Francis of Assisi with the Large Boobies and the Great Tits (it's a nature scene), the locals may have other ideas…
The Best of the Wurst is a very silly game for 9 players, set in a France not a million miles away from 'Allo 'Allo!
Collision Imminent!!!!!!!!!!!
by John Corrado Jr., Anne Cross, Jeff Diewald, Philip Goetz, David Lichtenstein, Michael McAfee, Don Ross, Alex Thorn, Mark Waks
COLLISION IMMINENT! Can someone turn that alarm off? Please report to your assigned lifepod station immediately... Have you seen Fifi? Why does that engineer look worried? ...where a trained and friendly Imagineeriumâ„¢ starship cruise line crewmember will help you... Did you hear that thump? COLLISION IMMINENT! What do you mean I can't get another Rigellian Core Meltdown to go? What am I supposed to drink while I wait? Is the air getting thin in here? ...to safely board a lifepod that will carry you to rescue in the unlikely event of an actual evacuation... COLLISION IMMINENT! Will an officer please report to the Leo Deck? Daddy? Do you know where my Daddy is? Please do not panic! COLLISION IMMINENT!

Sometimes the only way to get through an awkward situation is NOT to let people know exactly what is going on. Unpalatable as you obviously find it, during the course of this evening you may have to lie.
Last night on the Titanic
by Chris Killey, Paul Killey
The Titanic was one the the greatest ships ever to sail and it was also one of the worst disasters ever to hit the front pages.
Climb aboard and join in the intrigue on board the titanic on its fateful first and final voyage. But there is only one question, What would you do to save the titanic?
The Art of War (or, Renaissance and Sensibility)
by Mark Galeotti
Renaissance Italy, turned on its head by Leonardo da Vinci’s clockpunk revolution. A 45ish player, 4ish hour game of high politics and low comedy, art and politics, love and war, drama and pizza, in three acts. The Borgias meets Assassin’s Creed II, with a touch of Carry On…

Me as Doc Cochran
So I am only playing one game at Continuum 2008, "It's a Wild, Wild, Wild, Wild West", as I will be too busy to do anything else as I will be helping running the convention.

I will be playing Doc Cochran from Deadwood, the HBO series and I am looking forward to it.
Finally got my costume together, just need to get hold of a black silk tie.

My Games at Tentacles Déjà Vu.
Here are my games that I’ll be running at Tentacles Déjà Vu,
A centrepiece part of the convention in the form of a multi-player Freeform game as well as three different HeroQuest games – one Gloranthan, one a Firefly plus Alien: Resurrection hybrid and one based on the Sit-Com Dad’s Army.
Gloranthan Freeform
This game draws upon one of the oldest stories of the Holy Country and an on going theme of Gloranthan mythos , the Tournamet of Luck and Death. Even before the game RuneQuest, there has always been the Masters of Luck and Death, mooted as a boardgame, It has also been the title of TWO Gloranthan supplements and the official name for the HeroQuest demonstration team.
Now it is back, using Greg Stafford’s original notes as reference as well as a strong hint of <<cough!>> X Factor.
I am really looking forward to running this with Simon and Colin though this is only the second time I have ran a freeform game. Freeforms seem to run very well in
+
'The Masters of Luck and Death'
by Simon Bray, Colin Driver and Darran Sims
A Gloranthan Freeform Game.
The God-King is dying, his corporeal body falls into decay, but do not fear - instead rejoice!
From across the Holy Country come the greatest heroes of the land, fiery warriors from Caladraland, wise earth-women of Esrolia, stormy and passionate Heortlings, sea-blessed islanders of Pelaskos, the soulless sorcerers of God Forgot and the dark and brooding trolls of the Shadow Plateau. Each comes to take part in the greatest challenge in all Glorantha, a series of contests, trials and quests that stretch across this blessed land. They shall be watched by the God-King's fearsome judges and tested by their gods, friends and enemies alike. The victor will receive ascension to the hero plane - they will be worshipped and loved, whilst their useless flesh shall give the glorious God-King new life. So come one, come all to the Masters of Luck and Death!
+
[HeroQuest] Serenity / Firefly
These are games based on the series FireFly and the film Serenity by Buffy's Joss Whedon. The player characters will be the crew of The Betty from Alien: Resurrection; Joss Whedon's first stab at a misfit crew of smugglers onboard an old, broken-down ship.
The first game, 'Echoes in the Black', has been run twenty times now at various conventions and has always been over-subscribed.
+
'Echoes in the Black' by Darran Sims narrated by Darran Sims.
Serenity: HeroQuest adventure for 6 players.
Newcomers very welcome. Maturity preferred.
"Ta Ma Duh! Why can't we stick to the gorram plan!
I wanted simple, in and out and everything shiny.
The job was good, the idents were perfect and the feds were away from the Skyplex.
Then everything has gone south.
Something has been following The Betty.
They are keeping their distance, so they aint purple bellies and everytime time we avert course they disappear like echoes in the black. The question is who are they, what do they want and why are they messing up my gorram job?"
+
'[HeroQuest] Dad’s Army.'
This is a new game based on a very popular TV series in the
+
'We are the Boys...' by Darran Sims narrated by Darran Sims.
HeroQuest adventure for 6 players.
Newcomers very welcome. [im-]Maturity preferred.
“Excuse me, er, attention men. If you kindly all fall in, that would be rather nice. Thank you.”
“Right men, GHQ has organised a series of military exercises, under the watchful eyes of Colonel Pritchard, to test the Walmington-on-Sea platoon’s ‘fighting fitness’ and to see if we can use diverse tactics and strategies in the field.
“Well, that is a given of course with my experience, but there is a little nuisance in that we are paired off against the Eastgate platoon. We must deal with their Colonel Blimp mentality...”
“His name is
“Thank you
“Well men, I think that you will not let me down? Corporal Jones get the platoon to fall out.

[HeroQuest] Glorantha
The return of some of my Gloranthan games to the convention scene.
Lots of Orlanthi themes to run with as there are raids, counter raids, clan moots and clan rituals to contend with. Though ‘Raid upon Hellbreak’ has some strong martial elements there is plenty of mystery and dilemma to this story as well.
This episode is an old favourite of mine due to the fact that most players panic near the end of the dilemma and do not know what to do.
+
'Raid upon Hellbreak' by Darran Sims narrated by Darran Sims.
HeroQuest adventure for up to 7 players.
Newcomers very welcome. Maturity preferred.
Having been constantly attacked and raided by the Hruling clan the Elders of the White Ram clan now seek vengeance and gather their warriors to launch a counter-raid. The sacred village of 'Hellbreak' is the chosen target and the brave band of raiders set off to deliver retribution, however things do not go as planned.
They have to deal with roving guards, an Iphara mist and the enigmatic Lord in the Tower before even getting to the village.
