History

Grand Tribunal was brought to life by Chris Romer, Ars Magica author and activist, in 2007 as a RPG-convention entirely dedicated to Ars Magica. It took place in Cheltenham, England. The event was quite a success, and attracted enthusiasts from all over (real) Europe, as well as two authors from the new world.

In 2008, Tribunal was held again, and again was considered a success, attracting not only more activists than in 2007, but also Line Editor David Chart. Furthermore, an equally successful convention, Tribunal California, was organized by Erik Dahl, and took place in California at exactly the same time.

In 2009, Neil Taylor and Sheila Thomas, authors and participants of the other two conventions held in Cheltenham, volunteered to organize Grand Tribunal in 2009, this time as part of a larger RPG-convention that took place in Cambridge, England.
