Well time for something completely different, I picked this model up in the Blood Fields starter set at uk games expo last year and thought I'd have a go. Bit different from my usual stuff

Hey everyone! Good news - I'll be at #UKGE in May, selling my comics, prints, stickers - and some new things too 👀 I can't wait to show you what I've been working on!

I'll be in Hall 4, Stand 4-141. I hope to see you there!

#UKTTRPGCONS I’ve managed to keep myself really busy. Planning for all of these wonderful events I’m going to is causing me to take my eye off looking ahead. I have no gaps in my schedule until 16th May - the week after #Northstar and two weeks before #UKGAMESEXPO.

After that it’s spotty.

I'm going to attend #UKGamesExpo again this year, from Thursday to Sunday, demoing for Asmodee on Friday and Saturday. Are you going to be there too? Shall we meet up? Do you want me to come by your stand on Sunday? Please DM me and we'll sort something out. 😃👍 #UKGE2026 @ukge.bsky.social

THIS IS THE ONE I WANT HELP WITH:

Decision 2: What games do I offer?

I’m going to run in 6 slots. (Stuff what their advice is. I know what I’m doing. And I’m not doing it for the rewards.)

So I need to offer 6 games. I’ve got games I’ve been running at cons. 1/4

#UKGAMESEXPO

I realise most people won;t be interested and this is probably and abuse of Bluesky but I thought I’d do some UKGE planning.

Decision 1: I’m only going to go for Fri, Sat and Sun Morning and Afternoon slots. I won’t do the evening slots on Fri/Sat.

I am an old man. 1/2

#UKGAMESEXPO

Help!

I’m supposed to know what I’m doing with conventions and stuff.

But I’ve just checked the UKGE site and trawled through my old emails and I can’t work out how to submit TTRPGs for the 2026 event.

They are advertising TTRPGS under events. So some people have submitted them.

UK GAMES EXPO – RETROSPECTIVE Sueda B. So, I attended the UK Games Expo for the first time this year. It ran from 30th May to the 1st June, and if I may say so myself, was awesome. The expo is a celebration of all things tablet…

Today our #gamedev weekly review is back up! Sueda Baxter talks #UKGamesExpo and the vibes there!

UK Games Expo's Games on Demand second session of Magic of Inventorying was a full house!

This is if you omit the upcoming Kickstarter version allows up to 8 players.

I've told the person organising next year's trip to #UKGamesExpo that I want to go as I've never been. Only vacancy is the person in charge. I have done ten Salutes, Gencons and Pax, I think I'm qualified.

BG Stats 4 x 4. Play count: 29: The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine; 7: Flow; 6: Sky Team; 4: Codenames: Duet; 4: The Mind; 2: Earthborne Rangers; 2: Final Girl; 2: Harmonies; 1: Arkham Horror: The Card Game; 1: Star Wars: Imperial Assault; 1: Gloomhaven; 1: Heat: Pedal to the Metal; 1: For the Queen; 1: The Fox in the Forest Duet; 1: ROVE: Results-Oriented Versatile Explorer; 1: Star Wars: Unlimited.

Not including #UKGamesExpo, here are most of June’s plays. Big shoutout to excellent crewmates @chloroformtea.bsky.social and @edmorland.bsky.social!

#BGStats #BoardGames #TabletopGames

A image representing the number of plays of board games during the month of June. The count is as follows: 13: SCOUT; 6: Kingdomino; 4: Unfair; 4: DroPolter; 3: Railroad Ink Challenge: Lush Green Edition; 3: Barbecubes; 2: Power Grid; 2: Deep Regrets; 2: Disney Lorcana; 2: Souvenirs from Venice; 1: Flotsam Fight.

Its been some time, and so far we've played 4/9 games we picked up at #ukgamesexpo

But in general iitsbeen a good month for boardgames. Two days left of the month, and Dinosaur Island might squeeze itself in.

UK Games Expo 2025 An event that stands out on the gaming calendar for it’s scale and all it has to offer: a trade hall with more games and gaming guff than you could ever want, an opportunity to catch-up with gaming friends en masse and a guarantee that your wallet will be considerably lighter at the end of the weekend.

I picked up The Age of Vikings at #ukgamesexpo as I didn’t have the original Mythic Iceland, upon which is based. It’s okay. I’m unlikely to play it any time soon however I enjoy elements of the setting and a different BRP take on magic. Will probably pick and steal for other sessions …

We are still recovering from #ukgamesexpo, but we wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to come by and say hi and check out our maps. And its always lovely to catch up with Luke when he pops by!! #dnd #rpg
