The show is hosted by the Novotel complex in Hammersmith and is spread across several floors with a separate and very busy trade hall. Side rooms host day-long gaming sessions although you need to be fast to get booked in for a game. Hard-core gamers can play a range of participation games right up to midnight, but I was going mainly to look at the new releases and to do a bit of retail therapy in the trade hall.

| Dice... a gamer can never have too many! |
 |
| The Bring and Buy was packed early on but quietened down as the day went along. Some really old stuff on sale here but often quite expensive. |
 |
| More boardgames being demo'd in one of the other halls. |

| Painting displays were also taking place. |
A show I've never heard of, but then not likely too given it's target audience. However it looked well attended and if I was in the locale, would have wandered in just to see what was on offer. I'm sure I would have bought more die, as as you say, you can never have too many!
ReplyDeleteIt is aimed at role-players but there has always been a degree of crossover with wargamers so you can always pick up some figures at this show. As I said, I got a couple of boxes of figures for Frostgrave and a selection of other models and terrain items just because they appealed to me. Mostly fantasy stuff so I'm sure Ray will hate it!
