Also, how could I forget!

I also got the chance to talk to some cool people with cool products at the con, but then forgot to mention them in my last post.

This is a game called Tripods! from Oakbound Games.

Oakbound also make these awesome swamp monsters.
They have some clear Dark Crystal inspiration, as well as maybe
resembling certain one-eyed now-rare Warhammer monsters. 

I would have got the one with the skull head for D&D/Strange Aeons, but
my painting score is in a perilous state so I'm now buying minis right now.
Maybe next year. 

It was nice to meet a fellow Lead Adventure poster in person!

The UKRP Design Collective also had a stall with lots of cool games. Possibly the coolest to me was this storygame based on the siege of Montsegur: 

 Even as I move away from story games, it is nice to see people doing thematically-interesting things with them and making them look nice; they have a tendency just to be little pamphlets (although I quite like that as well, I guess? But the physical copy of Sagas of the Icelanders is damn pretty).

Lastly, this guy wasn't selling something, just having a shitload of fun with his Lego *-World Indiana Jones game.

It's still being setup; you can see the figures waiting offstage in the upper part of the photo.
