es all have special abilities which change things up and with multiple paths to victory there was a lot to think about fortunately jacob had evidently played enough card games to ignore pitfalls this could fall into turns were fairly fast and the game felt mostly complete it needs some actual art and some more plays to figure out some of the trickier powers but i enjoyed my time with it jacob said that there had been eight or nine groups playing on the saturday which is a good turnout for a playtest he s still unsure of what to do as far as publication and hopefully he ll figure out a good way to get it to the public there was also an adorable sounding game called twittens which i saw but didn t manage to get a game of due to time constraints the forbidden skittles bring buy i love a good bring buy not only have i offloaded so many board games over the years but there are always some interesting bargains to be had conventions like uk games expo have a ludicrously large bring buy which has become too large for me to engage with paradice s was exactly my preferred size covering several shelves and some tables but not a constant push against a crowd i just about managed to resist a couple of games including the complete room 25 a game i like but the basic version is still on my to sell stack stalls at least the grass pokémon will probably be happy about this as much as i enjoy large conventions like uk games expo i really love seeing what the stalls in smaller conventions have to offer here are some examples cgc had their own stall of course one of the largest there and with very helpful staff they had some comics a ton of games and sadly no coffee yes i have a problem and i m fine with it tabletop toad offered engraved mirrors and cardboard flowers made from pokémon and magic the gathering cards i m sure some people would find them sacrilegious especially as it sounded like they were up for making flowers from proxy black lotus cards that just made me love them even more layla pitts had a selection of bottled curiosities there were small plants and skulls each of which looked gorgeous admittedly their largest work for the con had already sold but these items still looked very nice andy s angels had a massive raffle with several different bundles of gaming goods which had been donated to them jacob bought a few tickets for one bundle and won well done jacob and i bought a few for one of the bundles of rpgs which didn t sound like many folks had bought it i wasn t successful but it s all for a good cause dryads being pursued by pesky plantlife malus horus was a game being demoed at a stall having originally been crowdfunded the concept was an odd one what if flowers but evil players are dryads trapped in a dimension filled with hostile plantlife chasing them as they try to flee there are four tracks for the different dryads and abilities to select from their player boards you can also get animal helped which includes the designer s cat and admittedly an owl a creature i irrationally hate there are story cards to advance things which is good as the designer felt overflowing with ideas about this weird world conclusion skulls i had a lot of fun in the short time i spent at the convention and feel like i saw all there was to see in a couple of hours i browsed the bring and buy took part in a playtest and wandered the stalls chatting with folks and buying a few things i don t mean any of that in a disparaging way as i saw a lot of what was there but i also knew i was on a clock i acknowledged the rpg area but didn t partake this year next time i d love to see what there was to offer i d feel like i could be a bit more casual and maybe chat with some more creators sunday was the quieter of the days from everything i heard but it still drew a bit of a crowd while i was there it felt like a family event with people bringing their kids along i don t know how many were people not in the hobby already but with a placement like worthing leisure centre i d hope that it can draw new people in i think paradice is a convention which still feels on the rise like the early years of conventions like dragonmeet i ll be really interested in seeing how it develops over time posted in board games tagged board games convention paradice worthing leave a comment dragonmeet 2025 posted on february 20 2026 by fakedtales early in the day at dragonmeet yes you read that right i m horrendously late in publishing this my initial delays were due to tight writing deadlines on the lands remaining an upcoming rpg i ll be talking about in a future post given these delays i ve also added a brief post con update on the folks i ve spoken to i ve attended dragonmeet for many years from its place in kensington town hall to the present where it celebrated its first year at the excel centre it s a massive one day convention primarily based around roleplaying games boasting games stalls demos seminars and more i attended with a press pass travelling up from brighton and having my first experience on the elizabeth line in order to get there i ve been to excel for mcm a few times in the last decade so i m used to the area and the crowds dragonmeet was busy but not to an mcm level one hall was open and mostly empty reserved for the staff checking tickets i thought it would be difficult asking for my press pass but it was pretty quick compared to my friend arthur who had a little trouble getting in on the indie games on the hour booking as did two other attendees the hall felt massive with high ceilings and occasional pigeon visitors there was a grid pattern of stalls which was mostly easy to navigate things felt spread out quite nicely even if it was a bit sparse at two of the edges from what i ve heard the booking they had was for a smaller space but more was provided i d much rather it was that way round personally a side entrance made ducking out for a seat and a coffee easy enough and i bumped into some friends from my local arkham horror lcg group around there i only managed to visit a few people but it was lovely to catch up with folks here s some of what i talked about me with the ghostbusters including the vaughan bros chris longhurst chris longhurst s stall i forgot to take a photo while he was there but imagine him behind the table chris is an easy conversationalist for a games journalist with anxiety psyching himself up to talk to more people he was on his own stall with his superhero rpg see issue xx and having recently released threadcutters at the time he was trying to fund his science fiction rpg gravity which has since successfully closed we chatted about hitman a lot in previous conventions mainly in relation to threadcutters and outside xbox this time we discussed soulsborne games and his plans on putting together a dwarf fortress inspired rpg as a serial duet game once complete it ll get passed to the player to gm it next there are some fun chain rpgs like the machine i ll be interested to see how this develops currently chris has a few days left on his lancer campaign myriad inverse on backerkit which looks interesting https www backerkit com c projects chris longhurst myriad inverse a lancer campaign studio agate the new 7th sea logo on a fancy banner being shown off with gusto i saw a giant 7th sea banner and had to check it out i love 7th sea and am on record as one of the few lovers of the second edition studio agate crowdfunded a campaign using that edition and are now in development of the third edition i asked them about what they re planning as i was concerned they d throw the baby out with the bathwater given the fan reaction to 7th sea 2e what i ve been told is that the plan is to still use the much improved setting from 7th sea second edition but to advance it ten years in order to tweak some elements and make it feel like their take on it they ve licensed it from chaosium so they ll only be doing the rpg the system itself will be all new with some elements from both but it s still pretty early days one thing they want to reposition is the way in which second edition would give you a difficulty and effectively raises to mitigate other problems they want to emphasise that you re big damn heroes i liked the previous system but the reframing makes sense unfortunately they were still a bit cagey about things but i ll definitely be keeping an eye on their progress as it develops studio agate s site is here https www studio agate com en their kickstarter pre launch page is here https www kickstarter com projects agate 7th sea ttrpg a new journey indie games on the hour mustering around the igoth banner i always love playing at the indie games on the hour space at dragonmeet and uk games expo the gms are enthusiastic and provide a lot of odd interesting games this year i played death was the only road out of town by grant howitt alex roberts it was run by jim and was joined by three other players all strangers it was a fun noir ish game in a dream world the dice mechanic did some fun things with difficulty and trying not to match sets the story was well crafted by jim and he even had some sheets to help get everyone in the right mood my main criticism about it would be the space it was in gen pop with five tables pressed pretty close together all right by the thoroughfare hopefully in the future there could be another room or some kind of divider to try and help block out some noise chaosium the chaosium stand was celebrating its 50th anniversary and after a short time of talking with one of the people there about pendragon i was provided with a bookmark badge and some pendragon branded d6 s as part of the 50th anniversary of call of cthulhu there s a new printing of the slipcase being produced which i have preordered as i don t actually own a hard copy of the current edition pendragon had recently released the sauvage king which sounded at first like a collection of one off adventures but i was assured that it s a series which can continue after the grey knight itself a sequel to the starter set i had to ask about the great pendragon campaign as i m looking at trying to run some pendragon in 2026 apparently it s currently in layout so hopefully there ll be a 2026 release since this event chaosium have pushed back the 50th anniversary slipcase to april 2026 and mentioned an upcoming gm screen and noble s book for pendragon personally pendragon s core book and gm s guide is on my to read stack patchwork fez games terminus on a train sarah was tabling alongside graham walmsley the creator of cosmic dark i had to stay away from the physical cosmic dark books as i know i ve got one which should be in the post in the near future from the kickstarter campaign sarah was selling her system neutral horror rpg scenario collection darkened hill and dale which i d resolved to pick up after seeing her at a folk horror talk at uk games expo this year terminus was making its debut at the con with preorders for folks who didn t want to pick up one of the few copies and carry it home this is a london underground based system neutral horror book which has a gorgeous cover made using tiles the original even accompanied sarah to the con since writing this i received terminus wrapped in red tissue paper with a map in an envelope the book looks gorgeous and the effort she described in making the textured cover definitely paid off even better when i got round to reading the adventure i did it on a train what s hot in indie rpgs the view from the back where the cool kids and late attendees are this is another essential part of dragonmeet and i d not been to a seminar yet i hadn t seen a stage in the main hall like in thought bubble or even spiel instead i was directed through some doors and upstairs to a meeting room the hallways were a bit narrow but the room had a good size to it richard williams was there and organising with kayla dice lloyd gyan michael duxbury and rob carnell as the panel looking back at 2025 kayla brought up people s poorness of time and money as a motivator for more short form and duet games experiences which are easier to finish when prompted by rob she also brought up the mirror to modern life provided by psychodungeon how it draws on her experiences and her family s of working in and dealing with public services how to make the problems of privatisation poor mental health provisions and general reduced quality of public service also a dungeon lloyd mentioned the gradual translation of some non english rpgs such as the crowdfunding of sword world and how given the high quality of games like the japanese dark souls shin megami tensei rpgs it d be good to see more of that rob said that the prices for everything has increased at the same time as the economy s stagnant that s providing some challenges and opportunities for rpgs even though as michael mentioned there are also some perverse incentives out there being encouraged in gaming from an indie view there s a risk of some conservatism in game pitches attempts to steal the crown from d d we all know that d d takes up 90 of the oxygen in the rpg space which is why i don t cover it michael pointed out a number of attempts at d d killers which have been coming out there are a lot of these games but it doesn t feel like a lot of them are likely to get the crown cosmere was a big hit as a crowdfunding campaign but feels like a more confined unit with backers who mainly seem to be fans of brandon sanderson and mechanics which are more like d d third edition lloyd was more positive on cosmere although he did ask people to put their hands up if they d read sanderson and almost nobody had he mentioned that the setting is really interesting but it shouldn t be a level based power system it s a weird way of presenting a roleplay focused world draw steel has a smaller but dedicated audience mechanically it s closer to a d d 4e like experience and is open about being a tactical cinematic fantasy rpg it had daggerheart is more interesting and has some good names involved it didn t go to crowdfunding there are some serious d d for theatre kid vibes and some third party support rob added that nimble is supposed to be playable 5e and left it at that lloyd mentioned that this was all done because of the fuck ups with the open gaming license these are all still variants of d d and much respect to any of them for doing their own thing and seeing if it sticks michael said he had some concerns about whether they ll just make some money and go back if brendan lee mulligan can t run daggerheart for critical role why should he kayla brought some optimism by saying that hopefully people will learn a new system if there s a name like sanderson attached and a sign of a bit of a culture shift an audience member mentioned that they hadn t seen cosmere or draw steel at the convention just one copy of daggerheart michael wasn t surprised after all how much d d sold today audience questions an audience member asked ab...
