| − | This is a calendar of upcoming pervasive games around the world - both individual games, and larger, organised events. If you're planning to run a game in your area, in whatever context, you're welcome to add it to the list with a date, time and location. (If you want some advice for running your own gaming event, we've got a [[Sandpit howto]] and a [[smaller event howto]].)
| + | There used to be a calendar here but it's no longer being maintained. Follow [https://twitter.com/ludocity @ludocity] on Twitter, and let us know if you've got any events coming up we should know about. |
