In late August 2023, deep in the shadow of the Black Forest, WealdCon brought together hobbyists from across Europe for a weekend of dice, narrative, and dark fantasy. As fog rolled over the pines, players gathered around handcrafted terrain to breathe life into The Weald—a brutal, folklore-infused skirmish game rooted in 28-style creativity. At the heart of the event was The Siege of Mudmire, a collaborative campaign where twisted Gnarl warbands clashed with beleaguered Wardens in a desperate defense. It was more than just gaming—it was a celebration of community, storytelling, and the eerie magic of shared imagination.
