was aiming to visit and get to the meetup this year but the gods of health decided to hex me and im now unfit to drive, confined to the house with wargamer dog. looks like you guys will be my surrogate eyes, ears and legs this year.
Kinda disapointed that a BoWer wasn’t passing when you guys said “come and say hi”, ‘cause it would have been amusing if said hypothetical BoWer had said “hi” at that point as they were passing, lol.
@dracs: are you sure it was safe for you to melt away into the crowd? As BoW/OTT’s resident hobbit aren’t you in danger of getting trampled? ? (As a fellow shorty I know navigating crowds is like navigating a blooming hedge maze that’s constantly shifting ?)
show as much as you can and have fun
Have a good time at the event, liking the animation for the logo BTW.
really happy to see that Ben’s got us covered with the regards to all things RPG.
the new groove is cool daddy o
I won’t be there because…. well…. the channel is a bit too much of a swim to cross unfortunately.
What I’d want to see at UK Games Expo is definitely Fallout and maybe some stuff from Bad Squiddo and Oathsworn if they’re there.
Looking forward to seeing if I can sell some of my games at the Bring and Buy to fund my Kickstarter “Habit”. I’ve checked out the app and it’s very cool. I can even keep track if my bring and buys have sold. Maybe see you at 10!
Would love to see some coverage on Fallout Wasteland Warfare! Will have to check that out, equally any more info on the new Warhammer Pen & Paper RPG from Cubicle 7 or some gameplay of Hard City in the indie section would be amazing! Looking forward to all the coverage folks!
My health is ok… family not so good… so I’m missing UK Games Expo for first time in nine years.
Relying on this coverage to identify the items I didn’t know about that I want to buy.
@justin won’t make it to the end of today wearing a Red Shirt…
Try not to get trampled and stay hydrated.
It looks like it will be a blast! Have fun, cover as much as you can. I’d enjoy a good mix of mini’s (of course), board games, role play, and card games. Good luck!
Good luck!
I was just in the UK for work, hated having to come home just short of this event.. looks like a blast!
Very stylish gentlemen, very swish!
I’ll try to sum it all up in one word:
nice!
I hope I could get there the next times…
Awesome!
It would be great if you guys can catch up with James from the Drowned Earth while you are there.
I managed to arrive after the initial rush. Was fun to watch the BoW crew hard at work through the windows of the production office whilst queuing for ticket pickup!
looking forward to this
Quite the crowd, nice to see. Looking good with the new branding guys.
I’ll see you in an hour or so, lads.
Nobody licked Justin’s head!
I wish I was there but I’m also really glad I’m not as I’m trying to stop buying stuff for a while.
Looking forward to the next few days of coverage!
