UK Games Expo 2019: Sunday Live Blog

We get a chance to sit in with the organisers of UK Games Expo and discuss the attendance figures for this year. Things are just bigger and better than ever!

Livestream – Comment To Win Monsterpocalypse Goodies

Delve in and join us, and make sure to let us know what you’re really looking forward to seeing here and we’ll see if we can scout them out.

Come and get stuck into the livestream from yesterday where we stopped off with BarPig as they launched their Kickstarter for a new expansion to the game.

They were having a lot of fun and this is a perfect convention game for you to get stuck into

Ben dives in to a maelstrom of games with his new best friend Bez!

If you can keep up with Bez’s sheer enthusiasm and energy you deserve an award as she takes us through Yogi, Wibbell and a host of quick and playful adventures to go through on the tabletop.

Ben was able to stop in with Flying Leap Games and their rather fun looking project, Wing It. As you can see from our video it’s quite the funky one that would be good for conventions.

I think you’ll agree that the energy here is infectious and how could you ever turn down such an adorable penguin?

Warren checks in with Arkenforge with a new app they have developed for tabletop RPGs.

The guys at Arkenforge have created something pretty special to really bring role-playing experiences to life. The software allows GMs to build maps for the sessions which are truly dynamic with impressive lighting effects that can be turned from day to night in an instant. For all you budding cartographers this is definitely something to check out!

It’s time for a totally bodacious adventure on the tabletop as Warcradle are working on Bill & Ted board game!

After their first adventure hopping all over time, players are tasked with correcting all the rifts in time and paradoxes created by their mischief. It’s an exciting endeavour for Warcradle as well being that it’s their first foray into board games, and it’s difficult to find a more relevant adaptation with a new movie coming out soon!

Play Fusion have their new Lightseekers Mythical coming out very soon but you can pick it up this weekend.

It features 46 reprinted cards from Awakening, has a lower appearance rate of Heroes in packs and has introduced a new rarity of card – the namesake Mythic Cross-Order Heroes.

For more information about Mythical visit their website

Will you be Picking it up?

We were able to stop off with Martin Wallace once more and delve into what you can look forward to from Milito, a fantastic game which has been worked on in conjunction with PSC Games.

We reckon that if you’re into your historical wargaming this could be for you.

We’ve heard a lot of exciting announcements at UKGE this year about new games or new editions of games that are now coming our way.

This weekend we also got a much rarer ‘no new game’ announcement. Cubicle 7 told fans in a seminar that they were currently very busy with Warhammer 40K, the Age of Sigmar RPG Soulbound, a new edition to the Lord of the Rings RPG and they even made mention of a new edition of their Doctor Who RPG.

There’s no such luck for The Laundry RPG. This is the X-Files meets Cthulhu game of investigation and bureaucracy based on Charles Stross’ novel series.

Cubicle 7 explained that even if The Laundry RPG was top of their to-do list, there was still the issue with the expired license deal with Call of Cthulhu publisher Chaosium. That would have to be resolved, or a new system introduced before a revised edition could be published.

Justin checks in with Elvis from Mantic Games to see what they are bringing to UK Games Expo.

Comment to win!

Demos for Star Saga and Hellboy haven’t stopped all weekend. The guys tell their tales of woe at how punishing but ultimately satisfying the game can be for players. Elvis has been too good to us and is giving away a copy of Hellboy the board game so get those comments in below for your chance to win.

Over the last couple of years, tabletop gaming has been integrating smartphone tech into the gameplay experience. Predominantly, this has been to help game set up or to administrate player turns or health. Chronicles of Crime looks to move things forward by making their app a core element of the game itself.

Tasking your group of players with solving a mystery, Chronicles of Crime uses the app to give you suspect’s answers to questions, a place to scan (using QR codes) and store clues, as well as a way to ask a group of in-game characters for help with forensics, technology, science, or criminology. So far, so useful.

Where Chronicles of Crime stands out is that the app uses 360 degrees virtual reality to allow players to actually look around and observe the crime scenes. In turn, you will either find clues to help your investigative team or possibly overlook something crucial. The app turns this into a legitimate game of police inspection.

If you are at UKGE, or not, it is definitely worth checking Chronicles of Crime out for yourself.
