About Grand Tribunal 2012

Grand Tribunal 2012 is a role playing game convention for players of the Ars Magica roleplaying game, published by Atlas Games, and other fine games by the same company.

This year it will take place in Cheltenham, England, from Friday August 17th to Sunday August 19th 2012. [Edit]

This is the sixth UK Grand Tribunal, following Cheltenham (2007), Cheltenham (2008) and Cambridge (2009), Cheltenham (2010)and last year in Cambridge again. This year it occurs two weeks after the American Grand Tribunal at Lake Tahoe - http://us.grandtribunal.net/

A small friendly RPG event, we pride ourselves in providing a welcoming and supportive atmosphere for fellow gamers, whatever their level of knowledge of Ars Magica and RPGs generally. If you enjoy games, even if you have never played or even heard of Ars Magica before, you will find a fun friendly weekend with lots of enthusiastic gamers!

Buying Tickets [Edit]

This year the event costs £15 for the whole convention: this covers Friday, Saturday and Sunday. A Saturday only day ticket is available at £10. We offer special a discount, called the "Grog ticket" for groups of four people booking and arriving together - three pay, one comes free. We introduced this in 2010 to encourage members of rpg groups who were not sure if they wanted to come to give it a try, and it proved very popular! You can pay by Paypal or by cheque or Postal Order – drop chrisjensenromer@hotmail.com an email to discuss details. Note the current prices listed are the Early Bird discount rates, so book early. The ticket DOES NOT cover any Accommodation – you will need to book your own: please see the Accommodation section for some suggested options.. If you have any problems, contact CJ for advice.

Grand Tribunal is a non-profit event, with any profits donated to charities.

The Email List [Edit]

There is a small dedicated email list for discussion of the event, general chatter and any questions or requests. If you want to come sign up at – grandtrib@yahoogroups.com or email CJ on chrisjensenromer@hotmail.com and ask to be added. Traffic volume is low (perhaps 2 emails a week) except for the week immediately before and after the event when it can be busy!

Disabled Access [Edit]

The key Saturday and Sunday venue and the restaurant where we meet on Friday evening are wheelchair friendly, but if you have mobility issues do mention it so we can ensure that all proposed minor venues and activities are fully checked for compliance with accessibility requirements before the event.
