Student Nationals - Role-play Games (RPG), Free Form Live Action Role-play (LARP), Collectable Card Games (CCGs), War Games (40k, Gothic, Warhammer) and Board Games... The wonders found at Student Nationals this year, held in Edinburgh, Scoltand, by a mixture of Heriot Watt Gamers (Watt Gamers) and Edinburgh University assorted gaming societies.

 

This fine year I was helping out as a Gopher (A red shirt!). Spending my time bopping around doing what I can where I can and once getting to use my first aid skills and once to be a first aid victim. I even won a LARP sword in the raffle!! YAY! I helped to judge a ‘pimp your badge’ competition - Pimp Your Badge was an initiative to get people to buy arts & craft materials to decorate there name lanyards and give the proceedings to charity - You won a couple bottles of wine for the best badge :D I’m sure these where enjoyed.

 

My over all thoughts on the Nationals of this year are “Yay! Woot! Bounce Bounce, Can I be involved again next year?”
