Ambercon UK

AireCon is a friendly and inclusive analog gaming festival in Harrogate Convention Centre. Whether you've come alone or with a massive group you'll find plenty of fun to be had and new friendly faces to meet. On top of that, we've partnered with Travelling Man to bring you a huge library of over 500 games that you can borrow from for free throughout the event. Have a nosy at the FAQ section to answer all your burning questions and if you've got a question we haven't yet answered, drop us a line at hello@airecon.uk! History AireCon started when Mrs C was away on a friend’s hen weekend. Mark decided that he’d have a few friends around to play some games and partake in some other gaming activities. With three tables set up, a schedule of events drawn up and even a sponsor, AireCon (now known as AireCon 0) was born in Mark’s flat. The name came about from looking at how other conventions got their name. Seeing that GenCon was named after Lake Geneva, Mark looked around for bodies of water nearby, and was immediately drawn to the River Aire, hence AireCon, and that squiggle that runs through the logo? That’s the river! Around this time, having returned from a brilliant time playing games at UK Games Expo, Mark looked around for other gaming events. Finding none he spoke to Ben about starting AireCon as a proper, public event and Ben had been thinking along similar lines. The first public AireCon (AireCon 1) was held at the place where Ben and Mark work in Bradford in April 2016, quickly followed by AireCon 2 in October 2016 but the constraints of the venue were already starting to show. Nabil and Rick were brought on board at this point to take the event to the next level. The growth necessitated a move to larger premises and, after an extensive search across Yorkshire, we settled on the Harrogate Convention Centre for AireCon 3 in March 2017. We also changed to running AireCon annually to allow more time to make sure it was an excellent event. AireCon 4, in March 2018, AireCon 5, March 2019 and AireCon 6, March 2020, have continued to see the event grow with more and more space being taken at the convention centre, mostly to allow for huge amounts of open gaming space, probably the largest in Europe! Due to the pandemic in 2021, AireCan’t took place instead of AireCon, where people were encouraged to Play at Home. The AireCon team have always enjoyed bringing people together and seeing the joy that tabletop gaming can bring, and this remains the same today as it did back in Mark’s flat. The emphasis at AireCon is on fun and providing opportunities for people to be able to game and it will always remain that way.

Are you ready to rock? More importantly, are you ready to roll?!  Welcome to No Quest for the Wicked, a story driven actual play podcast! Currently in our second campaign using Paizo’s sci-fi space opera system, Starfinder, in a homebrew setting. Starring Ryan Dwyer, Dain Miller and Niall Spain. Made in Canada! Campaigns Campaign One: RECKONING Where it all began.  Set in the entirely homebrewed system of Casa-Mal, the crew of the Persistence is inadvertently plunged into a political and cosmic conspiracy that leads them on an epic planet-hopping adventure of discovery, growth, loss and learning the importance of embracing your past with the understanding that who you were and who you’re expected to be doesn’t dictate who you are. The show follows MERRICK, a four-armed warrior in self-exile as he abandons the traditions of his people to forge his own path.  DURRIN, a ratfolk ex-assassin hiding from his violent past in an effort to start over and make-up for his past atrocities.  And CODY, an amnesic android obsessed with 80s action movies desperately searching for his best friend and creator. Campaign Two: FRONTIERS FRONTIERS picks up 25 years after the catastrophic events of RECKONING with a brand new cast of characters as a mysterious, uninhabited planet suddenly appears in Casa-Mal as the system rushes to investigate, secure and settle this potential new home for those displaced.  This new adventure will focus heavily on the themes of discovery and consequence with multiple ways the audience can interact and influence the narrative. Join the Discord and participate in votes as citizens of this new planet, band together with fellow listeners and create a Faction that will be represented within the in-game universe or submit a Quirk, Conflict or Catastrophe to the random event chart that will shape the campaign.
