#RPGaDAY2022 Day 6 – How would you get more people playing RPGs?

Welcome to #RPGaDAY2022! Now in its ninth year, #RPGaDAY was originally created by RPG author and games designer David Chapman (Conspiracy X, Doctor Who, etc) as a bit of fun and to get people talking about tabletop roleplaying games.

GIG 197: Skin Drill / Szekl Kurva – The Bull & Gate, 7th February 1995

Skin Drill really impressed us when we saw them a couple of weeks earlier (GIG 196), so when we heard they were playing The Bull & Gate in Kentish Town Angela, Michael, Richard and myself all headed down there on this Tuesday evening. Support came in the form of Szekl Kurva who, according to LastFM, … Continue reading GIG 197: Skin Drill / Szekl Kurva – The Bull & Gate, 7th February 1995

GIG 196: Cubanate / Inertia / Skin Drill – Marquee, 22nd January 1995

A not so typical Sunday evening at The Marquee. Sundays were usually their 'goth' nights - or certainly seemed to be with the amount of goth bands on the line-up every Sunday evening, but tonight we had swapped 'goth' for 'EBM/Industrial' bands Cubanate, Inertia and Skin Drill. I headed down to the Marquee with Angala … Continue reading GIG 196: Cubanate / Inertia / Skin Drill – Marquee, 22nd January 1995

The first of the Marquee's Sunday night 'Goth' gig of the year, and a return to the stage of Cries of Tammuz, so a chance to catch up with Paul and the rest of the band, as well as loads of the regulars on the gig circuit whom I'd not seen since before the holidays. … Continue reading GIG 195: Cries of Tammuz / The Last Dance / Cathedral Lung – Marquee, 8th January 1995

GIG 194: Judda / Andromeda Strain / Nylon – The Borderline, 5th January 1995

It only took my five days of 1995 to get to my first gig of the year, and it was to see an old favourite - Judda. For a Thursday night gig in the first week after the Christmas/New Years holidays it was pretty well attended with loads of people I knew at the show. … Continue reading GIG 194: Judda / Andromeda Strain / Nylon – The Borderline, 5th January 1995
