Whovian Occasions

Most of us love Dr Who, but some go that little bit further. This is the case the guys behind Whovian Occasions. They have collected some truly wonderful bits of Dr Who memorabilia and props which they are bringing to this years CONQUEST.

From large items such as a TARDIS, Dalek and K9 to smaller items such as masks and costumes there is plenty to have a look at. They will be selling some Dr Who items as well as offering a chance for you to have your picture taken with some of these items.

50% of the money made on the photographs will go to charity so we hope that you decide to get a great memento of your day in Shoreham. Depending on the weather we hope that the Dalek might get a chance to have a look around Shoreham's Artisan Market.

But even if the weather is not good enough both the Imperial Dalek and K9 will be on patrol around the main hall through out the day.

MTG Tournament

With only two weeks to go until CONQUEST, I am sure most MTG players are looking forward to the Prerelease of Battle for Zendikar.

The prerelease will certainly be a very exciting event and it is always great to see the new cards but for those who like constructed event there is also the MTG 'Standard' event which starts at 6:30pm (to allow the prerelease to finish first).

It will be much like a Friday Night Magic event but with added prize support. Every player that takes part will add boosters to the prize pool. The winner will of course be our CONQUEST champion but in addition this year will get this great playmat ...

This is a great piece of artwork by John Avon and what's more it has been signed...

Black Box at Conquest

Gambit Games is extremely proud of its relationship with the gaming design company Black Box Games. They will again be joining us for CONQUEST this year demonstrating their extremely popular card game ...

If you have not yet played the game it is really easy to learn but quite hard to master. It only takes a few minutes for a basic demo and a game takes about 45 minutes so Conquest will be a great time to give it a go.

With the increasing competitive seen both here and in Europe there will also be a chance to take part in a tournament. The tournament will be free to enter and will take part in the afternoon, so there is plenty of time to learn the game in the morning and become a one star general in the afternoon.

If we are lucky Black Box will be demoing some of there new projects as well, so visiting there stall at CONQUEST should be on everyone's agenda for the day.
