Got to grab a quick chance to browse the blog
Looking forward to enjoying the Weekend live Blogging of UK Games Expo awesomeness! Thanks so much OTT / BoW team.
Great stuff.
That interview stage looks very professional.
Let’s see who they get to interview.
the comment link on the RPG stand (goodman games etc) with the lady front and centre is broken
Hope you guys had a great day…. I’m travelling across on the morrow morn from the darkest depths of Pembrokeshire ?
I would love to go to the UKGE someday.
great coverage guyssss!! see you tomorrow
Looking forward to the content
Fantastic, once again I remain massively disapointed that I can never attend anything even close to this cool here in Australia
Id like to see a look at some of the indie game sections, so the one/two man bands showing their games and get them some wider coverage on this platform.
Be great to have you guys do a bit of boosting the companies that don’t get any press really – help us to uncover some gems please, preferably before sunday so i can go buy any lol.
Just catching up on the content from yesterday I missed when at work.
I remember when tabletop games were a niche for ‘social misfits’. Today, there is this massive event over 3 days, with global franchises like Alien having licensed games being announced.
It never ceases to amaze me how this hobby has grown. I started out buying white dwarf, the one that covered dungeons and dragons andfeatured hand drawn black and white covers, and now we get all this.
Thanks to everyone involved for the hard work that brought all this coverage.
…everything Mythic Games
awesome first day lots of great things
And I’m spent!
I’d like to have been able to come and hunt for those obscure gaming aids and terrain that makes your games stand out.
Great content guys! Keep it up. I’m curious about all the stuff I missed.
Another day with some awesome content. Thanks guys! >-<
Three really excited kids,having walked around the biggest “sweetshop ” they have been to. Lol
