Watching X-Files with no lights on

 One Week...

...to Dragonmeet that is!

Just a quick post this time, don’t worry. This time next week it’ll be Dragonmeet, the UK’s second largest tabletop convention and it’ll be the first one I’ve been to since the pandemic. 

Dragonmeet was always one of those cool conventions where I get to chat with loads of really cool creators and publishers. See what amazing new games have been released. And also wish I had more cash to buy all those cool games… 

I won’t be on a table. 

I did that once before for Cubicle 7, signing copies of Doctor Who… well, signing one copy of Doctor Who… everybody else was rightly there to get their Lone Wolf RPGs and books signed by Joe Dever. I also manned a table at GenCon UK (remember those?) for Eden Studios back in the dim and distant past. Ah, those were the days. 

No, I’ll just be wandering around, looking a little overwhelmed as usual. If you see me, come and say hello. I’ll be wearing the same suit/tie combo as my new tarot-style business cards. Happy to chat about anything.

I’m particularly excited this year to be taking my lovely wife with me. It’s her first Dragonmeet, and it’ll be good to have moral support while I’m looking a bit lost. We’ll also be taking one of the players from our regular game group (hey, Fred) and meeting up with Stoo, our usual GM, who printed and published WILD for me all those years ago. Should be fun. 

Hopefully see you there!

In other news, Will Brooks, who did the awesome covers for the Doctor Who RPG books for all of the second edition publications, has teamed up with Alex and Nick to produce a new podcast talking about Doctor Who. They’re watching every episode, and releasing podcasts as they go through. First one is up today on Spotify and Youtube, hopefully reaching other streamers soon. 

I’ll be listening to that while I do the cooking tonight!

Until next time, enjoy having that song stuck in your head. (I hope the Smoking Man’s in this one…)
