GrellCon Is Coming — Britain’s Only Old-School D&D Convention

GrellCon 2026 is shaping up to be something truly special. If you enjoy Classic D&D—from the original 1975 game through the Advanced iterations of the early ’80s, and all the retro-clones they’ve spawned since—then this is the event for you. This is Britain’s only old-school D&D convention. Expect graph-paper mapping, potion-quaffing, longsword-swinging, spell-slinging, all-out classic Sword & Sorcery adventure gaming. Miss it and be forever regarded as a normal-human torchbearer. You peasant!

More than half the tickets sold in a single day, so now’s the time to buy yours before they vanish like your level-3 MU during a TPK in progress. What are you waiting for?! GMs, bring your A-game—I’m told nearly half of all sign-ups have already thrown their hat into the ring. I’m already dipping into the adventure library and prepping a few classic modules that will absolutely savage you.

Oh, and while you’re at it, you can snag a poster of that sweet Grell illustration by the con’s organiser and ENNIE Award-winning illustrator Andrew Walter when you buy your ticket. Click the link below to buy them now.
