[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 7865504, member: 1"] We at EN Publishing had a great time at Dragonmeet this weekend. Thanks to everybody who stopped by! We also had a company retreat where we playtested a[I] Rogue Trooper[/I] adventure from the upcoming book! We completely sold out of the remaining [I]Cursed Earth [/I]stock.

It’s big enough that it feels busy, but not so big as to be impersonal. For that reason, it’s probably my personal favourite convention. This was the first year I was there as a publisher rather than as a punter. It was a long day. Up at 3am, breakfast and shower, load the car from our storage unit in Southampton, head out to pick up staff from Eastleigh, and then a drive through thick fog to arrive in London for about 7am. Set up the stand, all ready for doors open a couple of hours later, then standing on that stall through to 7pm. Then break down the stand, pack up the boxes, load up the car, and head to our accommodation in Surrey, where we had our little company retreat in a lovely AirBnB (which means playing games and eating pizza all weekend).
