Revelation is a UK based roleplaying games convention that meets once per year at the Garrison Hotel in Sheffield. We have space for 80 gamers to come and play ‘Powered by the Apocalypse’ roleplaying games.

The games timetable will be offering all day Saturday and Sunday games alongside 4 hour slot games. Sign up for a rich array of gaming experiences and explore the many worlds of the Apocalypse.

I have played a few sessions of DW, I have the PDF and book, Grim World and Inverse World PDF coming and have swooped on Saga of the Icelanders. I’ve invested but never yet run the game. I intend to crack on with that soon.

The game slightly scares me. Reassure me or laugh at my timorous wailing, I mind not. Is the game one big frenetic ‘What do you do?” Is it a continual adrenalin ride of unremitting hard and soft moves fuelling narrative spawned outcomes based on the landing of the dice?

Is there time to breathe? Just how out in the open, continually  demanding of creative outcomes is this monster?

The games I have played have been pretty frenetic, with move after move after move. “WHAT DO YOU DO?” Er, I sit down and have a nice cup of tea and talk of the politics of far Andallon. Cue hard move, spilt milk and tears.

I’m an experienced GM, I’ve enjoyed the games played and loving the book. Am I up to it? How much energy drink will I need? My B12 is high.

Only one way to find out, I know…
