Keith Baker Report: Hampshire, UK

[CharlesRyan]

For the past few days, we've had the honour of hosting Keith Baker on the first (I think) European stop of his world tour. I believe I can report a success, and I think Keith is going to have a great time, along with the many gamers who will be hosting him over the coming months.

It turns out three days isn't much time when you're trying to pack in as much gaming as possible into a celebrity gamer's brief visit. We played an Eberron adventure on night 1 and Over the Edge on night 3. (We were all pretty knackered on night 2 following a day of sightseeing, so we hung out and briefly played a board game Keith is working on.)

Keith didn't skimp on his "will run games for lodging" proposition; he was fully prepped for his adventures with character sheets, battlemats, minis, etc. all on hand. The adventures were fun and imaginative. I won't spoil anything for gamers further down his itinerary, but I hope I played the goblin Lord Spazz to his full potential.

I put Keith on the train to Glasgow (via Gatwick) this morning. Look out Scotland, here he comes!

Don't you mean "lightning rail"?

Oh bugger, where did he get to, up here in "Haggis Land"?
Man it'd rock if he popped into the Dragon & George and Static Games

Some details here: UK Role Players » Forum » View topic - Keith "Eberron" Baker @ Kingdom Of Adventure I'm not sure if that's comprehensive.

I forgot he was doing this. Glad it's been fun so far!

He was at GameExpo at the weekend where he ran several Eberron sessions including one I played Weezee! Oddly enough I felt it really captured an Eberron feel

Good to meet the chap & I am sure he will have a grand old time.

I have been having a great time so far! My main problem is that I just don't have the time to visit everyone who's offered hospitality - I'm only going to make it to about half the countries on my list in this first European tour.

Thanks again, Charles, and to everyone who's played with me so far. I hope to see more of you in days to come! I should have my formal blog with pictures up soon.
