UK Games Expo 2015

Post by The Painted Goblin »

I'm thinking of going this year for Saturday and Sunday and wondered if anyone else was going?
It's a long while since I've been in touch with anyone so it would be good to catch up.

Here's the linky:-

I would love to demo bb at games shows. We don't have a game to sell though!

And off topic...

Oh, I'm not selling owt there....just going as a wide-eyed punter :o
I might be interested in signing up for that UK national Conquest tournament though, hosted by FFG. I'm not very good at it, but it might be a laugh.

There's open gaming sessions open all day and into the night so people can just meet up and play anything, so BB could be on the menu if people turn up with a copy!
I also might have a copy of PHOTON in my pocket to terrorize passers-by with :lol:

Going to Salute instead, and tempted to "forget" my wallet so I don't buy a load more stuff that I won't get painted!

I think I'm right in saying it's the same weekend as the NAFC in Nottingham, so 'bowlers are likely thin on the ground.

Guildball (fantasy football with round ball) will be there with demo gaming and offering show discounts (and also at Salute) if you're lokking for something new to play.

It's the weekend after the NAFC (23rd/24th May for the NAFC and 29th-31st for the UKGE) but still not ideal for BBers I'd guess.
I should be there tho', so see you all at the bar. :)

GB at Salute is good. That's one for the tables list.

Fantasy football with a round ball eh? That will take some getting used to
I'll definitely give that one a look, thanks Podfrey

I'll have a mosey over. I'm now there for the full three days and I've booked a table in the Playtest room so I can frighten people with PHOTON :lol:

Well I went to the Expo, had lots to drink, played lots of games but I also saw a demo of Guildball.
I'm in.

Buying a rulebook and team next week.
Very very good - thanks for the heads up!

The show offers were fantastic in terms of price saving, but I'm going to buy them from my FLGS cos I'm good like that :D
