Well, if it’s 23 September... YES, THAT’S RIGHT! It’s the 72nd anniversary of the hunt for the Gorbals Vampire, in which hundreds of children aged from four to 14, armed with dogs, knives, and sharpened sticks went looking for an urban myth

We defeated Hellfire Henry by raising over £14,000 for Scottish Huntington's Association, the most we've ever raised for a charity thanks to your amazing support. The Scottish Huntington's Association team were amazing all three days, really engaging with the event and being visible and available.

Image shows the Tabletop Scotland logo, which was held from the 4th to the 6th September 2026. Image includes a photo of Hellfire Henry, the inflatable two-headed dragon used by Scottish Huntington's Association for their stand. Caption reads: "We defeated Hellfire Henry! Thanks to YOU we raised over £14,000 for our amazing Charity Partner!" Image also includes a special thanks to Gaming Rules (Paul Grogan) and Genki Gear who made sizable donations.
