1st - 3rd June this year. Anyone going? what are people looking forward to playing?

Though currently living in germany, I hope to be able to get too it, as there are games designers here who don't come to Essen.

Definitely going for all 3 days. I plan to play more games this year, but don't actually don't have any games on my horizon yet this year.

Will be going as a trader again (I own DnDice, a dice company), hope to make plenty of cash

This'll be one of the few years that I'll be missing the expo.
Originally planned on going to run some roleplay games and pick up a few new boardgames & books but I've got a holiday later in the month so thought I'd save my money and energy for that.

...may change my mind last minute though.

Must admit to being tempted as I'm more into my board games these days.

I'll see......

@suenstar face to face DnD at last?

gradyhawks · 3 Apr 2018 at 14:25

You best come to my stand to get some dice...

Tobywon · 3 Apr 2018 at 15:37

It's not running next year if that sways you all

suenstar · 3 Apr 2018 at 19:35

If I make it to the expo this year, I'll stop by the stall.
You're not too far from A1 Comics, so that's very convenient for me.

Would be good to get our group together for a game around a table.
I'd be more likely to change my plans and go to the expo for something like that.

Facebook post about open gaming space has been commented on by numerous people, including a reply from what looks like an organiser called Richard denning, his comment there states next year it is having a break...

@No1newts , @suenstar do you think @Shamikebab could cope with that

In that case I'll be more likely to go this year.
Just got to decide whether I'd rather drive up from Cornwall or book a flight...

We'll just have to give him some foam rocks to throw at us when we misbehave.

Or bring an umbrella incase he loosens any ceiling tiles in advance.

You made some from me last year with a lovely set of metal dice

I will be there this year for three days, possibly going to try, and then fail miserably, at the L5R tournament!

Ah I did? Awesome

BTW if anyone does come and visit the stall, let me know (I'll be the fat guy there) your from OCuK and I'll sort out discounts

suenstar · 6 Apr 2018 at 09:28

Looking to drive up on Friday and attend the show on Saturday at the moment.

No1newts · 6 Apr 2018 at 10:47

If we aren't doing the DnD there I'm contemplating giving it a miss, I may pop along for a day though.

lordhughes · 6 Apr 2018 at 15:23

If its just Dan thats missing you could DM for us again, its been a while since a character has fallen down some steps

To be fair I'm finishing off my prep for an open world sandbox game for you all, up to 129 pages which I'm reviewing them probably be another 50 or so pages on top so there will be plenty to see and do and we could use a face to face as a start. I'm easy though!
