This weekend is OxCon, a weekend of gaming held every January in The Mitre pub in the middle of Oxford. It has almost mythical status since publicity hitherto has almost entirely been by word of mouth and often quite last minute. This year, in a break from tradition, it was advertised early. As usual, for those who are about on Friday evening there will be a meal at Pizza Express and some gaming afterwards. As well as general gaming, there will also be tournaments with Puerto Rico on Saturday, and Settlers of Catan on Sunday. Not sure how many of the GOATS will make it, that will depend on weather and family commitments, but it should be a good event.
