CanGames 2024 Is One Month Away!
My, how time flies!
For those who are interested, local Ottawa gaming convention, CanGames, 2024, begins exactly one month from today. The convention will be held from May 17th - 19th at the Rideau Curling Club here in Ottawa. The convention was cancelled from 2020 to 2022 due to COVID, and I missed 2023's version of the convention due to serious health issues, so I'm really looking forward to it! Registration for the convention has been open for some time, so I'm hoping all the games are filling up.
Here's the listing of (roleplaying) games that I'll be running at the convention this year. I don't know how many folks have registered for the games I'm running, so folks who are interested in playing in the games I'm running might want to pre-register for the games they'd like to play in sooner rather than later. Here are the listings with the blurb for each of the games I'm running at the convention.

Fairycakes
Game: Rivers of London: The Roleplaying Game
Time: Friday, 7:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Number of Players: 5
Description: When a very normal, respectable but somewhat dull businessman savagely attacks a homeless man that he swears is some sort of monster, the case file comes to the Folly. Because the homeless man isn’t a monster - but he is a troll. And DCI Nightingale would like some answers. So your investigators are tasked to find out what's going on. This adventure is one for the urban fantasy mystery roleplaying game based on the Rivers of London series of books by Ben Aaronovitch.
The Ruins of Skaro
Game: Doctor Who Roleplaying Game
Time: Saturday, 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Number of Players: 4
Description: While en route to Woodstock in 1969, your TARDIS is diverted to the harsh and dead world of Skaro, drained of energy. Facing the natural (and not so natural) hazards that dwell there, you must effect repairs to the TARDIS and survive several traps that have been left behind. Will you be able to repair your TARDIS and determine who or what forced you to the homeworld of the Daleks?
The Bookshop
Game: Rivers of London: The Roleplaying Game
Time: Sunday, 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Number of Players: 5
Description: An employee at Stonewaters Bookshop has been assaulted by assailants unknown while working late. The Charing Cross police have sent the case over to the Folly, as they believe it will be of interest to them. While it may or may not be a Falcon case, DCI Nightingale wants your investigators to question the bookshop employee and see if there’s anything unusual about the case. This adventure is the introductory case file (adventure) for the urban fantasy mystery roleplaying game based on the Rivers of London series of books by Ben Aaronovitch.

For those interested in playing in any of these games, there are five (5) player spots each open in the two sessions of the Rivers of London: The Roleplaying Game games and four (4) player spots open in the session of the Doctor Who Roleplaying Game game. As noted above, I may add another session of one of the two game systems on the Saturday night, if there's a demand for it. So if you're interested in playing in one of the games I'm running at CanGames 2024 this year, please sign up early for the games, as slots may not be available at the convention itself. Furthermore, please note that while I've specified that masks are Optional at the game tables, I may change this to Required depending on the state of COVID-19 in May, the crowding in the gaming area(s) and other circumstances once the convention gets under way.
Hope to see folks at the convention! :)
