Traders: Modern Magicks

Published on February 22, 2012. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , .

Modern Magicks offers a range of whimsical sculptures, artwork and jewellery that embraces the sense that magic surrounds us and is just beyond our ability to perceive.

From gremlins and fairies that interfere with your code or tangle your headphone cables, to modern evolutions of bookworms that feed upon twitter streams and SMS messages, they embody their slogan “Modern Folklore for Modern Folk”.

Created from a range of up-cycled electronic components, wire, plastics and glass, their creations reflect a very modern take on the stories of the malevolent spirits that plague mankind. Their range of items includes captured fairies in jars, mini bookworm sculptures and representations of cravings along with a selection of occult inspired jewellery designed to ward off these modern magical menaces.

Feel free to come over to the stall and find out more about the technothaumaturgical world that we inhabit or to buy one of our captured specimens. Or you can visit their website for more product images here.

Conpulsion 2012

Published on May 16, 2011. 0 Comments

Conpulsion 2012 will be organized by Phil Harris & Gregor Hutton. Look forward to more updates as we have them.

Phil & Gregor are looking to build on this year’s con for 2012. So things that went well in 2011 can expect no major changes. But look for improvements to things that didn’t do so well in 2011.

If you’re interested in helping out with Conpulsion 2012, and think you can improve the con, then we want to hear from you. More details to follow on how you can do that.

We’re especially interested in hearing how we can improve wargaming, LARPing, CCGs and board games. We’re seeking enthusiastic people with strong ideas who will focus on bringing players to the con in these areas. We’re also interested in working with all students associations and gaming groups in Scotland.

Our aim is for Conpulsion to be a destination for gamers of all interests. We want to broaden the convention’s appeal and provide as awesome a weekend of gaming in Edinburgh as we can. We can only do that with your help and goodwill.

More to follow!
