UK Games Expo on the horizon

 

At the end of the week it'll be the UK's largest gaming convention, UK Games Expo.

I've been a few times in the past, and have always been completely overwhelmed by the size of the convention, but this is the first time I've gone for longer than a single afternoon. Usually that's enough for me, it can be exhausting and so much happening, but this time I'm going to brave it a bit longer – mostly due to having the support and backup of my lovely wife this time. 

What do I hope to get out of the convention? 

Not sure. I know lots of people going and that's the real reason for it – meeting up with loads of cool gamers and developers. There are a few people going I haven't seen for many years, and some I've never met in person (only over the internet) and it's going to be great to catch up and chat. 

I also want to check out those cool minis at Crooked Dice – surely they have to have made a Mulder and Scully set by now? 

And, Darrington Press... I'm not much of a fantasy gamer, but Daggerheart is looking more and more tempting...  

I've printed out maps of the halls, marked on stalls I definitely need to visit. There are so many people I need to say hello to! It should be good!! Exhausting, but good!

If you're going and see me wandering the halls, looking as bewildered as I always do at these things, say 'hi!'.

[I may try to record a video or something while I'm there. I was going to do another "what's in the box?" video today but the footage was awful. I'll need to try again...]
