Reflections on running an introductory megagame, plus a scenario for Runequest. In other news, the game submissions for Colossus of Atlantis at Convergence in September have been approved. More on that game as we get closer to the date.

I had two main commitments at Wellycon this year, running an introductory Megagame, “The Decline and Fall of the Galactic Empire, and running a Runequest scenario, “Stealing the Eye& #82…

BY OTHER MEANS

On May 16th the Waikato Role Playing Guild will be hosting the megagame By Other Means at the Meteor Theatre. The game will be facilitated by Scott Daly.

Here is a short description of the game; The galaxy has been locked in debilitating war for decades. The resources of the great nations are largely spent, many planets are all but destroyed, and civil unrest swells. Can the tired nations bring a graceful end to war, without sacrificing too much of what has been gained?

Tension reigns as the great Huangdi Empire and their militaristic allies sit across battlefields and negotiation tables with their former vassals and political allies, as well as mercenaries, traders, raiders and rival Kingdoms.

By Other Means is a megagame of high-level diplomacy, negotiation and conflict designed by Ed Silverstone.. Players take on the role of senior officials and diplomats from the major galactic powers. The game involves a small amount of grand strategy and military operations, but the majority of time and attention will be focused on negotiation and discussion.

https://events.humanitix.com/2026-wellycon/tickets Early Bird tickets for Wellycon are now on sale. I am running a Decline and Fall of the Galactic Empire megagame on Saturday 30 May from 10am to 1pm. Max 20 players. Intended as an introductory game, so nutcase complex as my usual games.

Wellycon 2026 - The biggest, fun, friendly board game convention in NZ.

We will be running a 20 player introductory megagame at Wellycon on Saturday 30 may. Tickets go on sale later this week. The game scenario is 'decline and fall of the galactic empire', so big fleets and battles, betrayals, pirates and other chaos.

16/03/2026

Initial casting assignments have been sent out for the Watch the Stars megagame on Saturday 21 March. We have 24 players at the moment, but do have the ability to scale up to twice that number if more tickets are sold this week.
