Feels like UK Games Expo was a lifetime ago now, but here is mine, Lindsay & Megan’s little haul, more modest than most years cause not only were we all brassic, but also volunteering so not much time to do the halls
A little after 9am on Thursday, I boarded my first train of a journey that has become increasingly familiar over the years. It was my sixth visit to the convention, having first attended in 2019 before COVID forced a break, but I returned in 2022. It was also my fourth time making the journey by train. The first leg carried me from the South Coast to London Victoria, followed by a tube trip to London Euston and a welcome lunch break before the faster train north. By around 4pm, I was walking through the NEC halls once again, ready for another weekend at @ukgamesexpo 2026.

Last weekend I ran Unfallen - a narrative Warcry event, at #UKGE
10 players were asked to choose their path through the blighted wilds of Thyria: as either Contaminators seeding creeping corruption, or Remediators sworn to burn out the rot and restore balance.
