For years Lajconik was among my favourite conventions. Yet as I described last year I finally joined the team running it. Do I regret? Absolutely not! Making the convention happen is a big pleasure and I am glad I was able to help. It doesn’t mean I don’t want to return as an attendee – I want and I hope I will be able to switch the roles in the following years. How did it work out this year? Well the last word belongs to the members – I can only describe it from my limited perspective.
Lajconik 2023 – Back to the In-person con
After two years of online conventioning and one year break Lajconik 2023 came back to the realm of physical cons. Yet I didn’t manage to fully embrace the event. It took place on the same weekend as the Glasgow 2024 All Staff meeting. I had to split my time between both events meaning I didn’t manage to participate in any of them to the full extent.

Orichalcum IV – The Earthdawn Convention
Last year, I learned about Orichalcum – a convention devoted completely to Earthdawn RPG. I wanted to visit it but getting to the conplace would take too much time and I didn’t manage to attend it. Still I promised to myself to come to it one day. And this year attending Orichalcum was really easy because it took place online. I believe we all would prefer to be there in person but we had to cope with what world prepared for us.
LajcONik 2020 – a well-known convention, yet a new experience
Lajconik is one of my favourite conventions and every year, I am looking forward to it. I usually tend to spend most of the con playing RPGs (as this is the main idea for it). Lajconik 2020 was a different experience to me and there was more than one reason to that.

Lajconik 2019 – convention that grows
Lajconik is one of my favourite conventions and I always do everything I can to attend it. When I became the chair of the SFF club organizing it, I decided to appear there as an attendee ant not as one of the staff members (I am always available for any help if needed, of course). This year, my time at Lajconik was limited, but it was still a lot of fun.
ZjAva 10 – once again on playing RPGs at conventions
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the ZjAva convention. I did not participate in all of the previous editions, but this one was not my first either. It is a con that concentrates on gaming (and, in my opinion, mainly on RPGs). With over 130 RPG sessions over the weekend it is currently, I believe, the biggest RPG event in Poland.

Lajconik – four RPG sessions in two days
I already stated before how much I like Lajconik. It is a wonderful small convention where I can play RPG both with people I know and those who I haven’t met before. This year it was kind of special to me as I am chairing the SFF club that organizes it. Despite this I was a regular attendee and not staff member, even though I had participated in some staff meetings in order to offer my help (that wasn’t really needed).
ZjAva – gaming convention in the middle of winter
I started my convention year 2018 with ZjAva – a relatively big gaming convention in Warsaw. It is completely different than Lajconik I was describing last year, but at the same time both events have things in common. And those are games, of course.

Lajconik – RPG and Polish legends
Lajconik is a small convention devoted to tabletop Role Playing Games. For the first time it took place in 2011 and in the beginning it was not held regularly. Over last few years it has taken place around March/April. 2017 was not an exception and I again got a chance to participate in this lovely convention. I like it very much for a few reasons but the most important one is the atmosphere.
